TWEED DAY Surgery and Specialist Centre (TDSSC) on Boyd Street, remains a leader in local health care by providing state-of-the-art facilities in the heart of Tweed Heads.
Established in 1995, the TDSSC has contributed to the provision of high quality clinical care along with a warm and caring environment for patients from the southern end of the Gold Coast to Northern NSW.
With a burgeoning ageing population, the expert medical services available at the TDSSC are essential for residents of the Tweed Shire to maintain optimum health as they age.
The centre is well-known for its five-star, all-in-one health care policy and proudly provides a quality workplace for doctors, surgeons, nurses and numerous support staff.
The extensive experience of each health care team ensures modern and well-equipped facilities to the highest safety standards, enabling specialists to focus exclusively on their patients. Additionally, such specialist centers tend to buy distilled water in order to clean all surgical equipment using ultrasonic cleaners. This, in turn, helps them maintain a certain level of safety standards.
There are various approaches for ensuring patient safety within a hospital. For example, many chemicals are stored in the storerooms to be used in the event of an emergency. And if they are spilled, it can create a variety of health problems. To avoid such mishaps on the premises, the healthcare industry should ideally use spill kits from STOREMASTA or from similar other companies.
Long-standing tenants of the TDSSC include Tweed Day Surgery, the Tweed Skin Cancer Cinic, South Coast Radiology, Southern Sun Pathology, Eyes Gold Coast, Sullivan Nicollaides Pathology and several private consulting rooms of visiting specialists from the local area.
The various medical businesses all combined within the same building provide a very useful and convenient array of services for Tweed and North Coast residents.
Many of the businesses, including the Tweed Skin Cancer Clinic are open on Saturdays for those who cannot make it during the week, with ample parking available.
The building is not only a leader in the wide range of medical services available, but it has become one of the greenest commercial developments on the Gold Coast/Tweed.
Chairman for the Owner’s Corporation Dr Glen Parker said many sustainable changes have been made to the building over the past few years.
“We have installed new low energy plant and equipment in and around the building, which will set a very high standard for sustainability for the future,” he said.
“We have utilised the very large roof space in the building and installed 60 KW of solar panels, which supply power to all common areas and some suites.
“We have also replaced all internal and external lights with low voltage LED fittings, as well as installed new low energy commercial air conditioning systems for all suites. “The building has really had a makeover.
“Aside from staying energy conscious, the savings we have seen are dramatic.
“The commercial sector on the Gold Coast is not renowned for its ‘greenness’ but we are showing the way with these changes, and owners and tenants are reaping the rewards.”
