The Royal Melbourne Hospital: Bed and Breakfast... But Mostly Beds
So, you're curious about the Royal Melbourne Hospital's bed situation. Maybe you're planning a (hopefully not) extended stay, or perhaps you're just a nosy neighbor (like us). Whatever your reason, you've come to the right place! But before we spill the beans, let's get a little historical with it...
From Humble Beginnings to Bedlam (Just Kidding... Mostly)
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
The Royal Melbourne Hospital started out small in 1848 with a measly 10 beds. That's right, 10! You could have fit the entire hospital in your average living room. But fear not, Melbourne! The RMH has grown into a medical marvel, boasting a complex with multiple locations.
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
So, How Many Beds Are We Talking About Now?
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
This is where things get interesting. Here's the important part: The exact number of beds at the RMH depends on who you ask and what you count.
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
- The Big Number: We found a source that claims the RMH has a whopping 1084 beds across all its locations, including inpatient, RMH@Home, residential aged care, and mental health services [citation needed]. That's a lot of sheets to fold!
- The More Manageable Number: Another source states that the main RMH site has around 571 beds. This sounds more like a typical hospital setting, with dedicated medical and surgical services [citation needed].
