Welcome to 4C – Maitland Hospital’s Cardiac, Stroke & General Medical Unit
At 4C, we specialise in delivering expert care for cardiac, stroke, and general medical patients. What truly sets us apart is our incredible team spirit. Our unit thrives on collaboration, where every team member supports one another to provide the best possible care.
Patients and families consistently share positive feedback about the compassionate, professional care they receive. From nurses and doctors to allied health staff, everyone works together to create a safe, welcoming environment where healing comes first.

- Collaborating closely with doctors, allied health, and fellow nurses
- Monitoring patients with cardiac and neurological conditions
- Administering medications, managing IV therapy, and post-stroke support
- Participating in ward rounds and family discussions
What sets 4C apart – and what you won’t find in the PD – is the incredible team culture.
Everyone helps each other. You’ll never feel alone on shift. There’s a strong sense of belonging and mutual respect, and new team members are supported from day one. The feedback we receive from staff and patients alike reflects the positive, compassionate energy on the ward.

You’ll be supported from day one with an individualised orientation plan, supernumerary shifts, and guidance from a Clinical Nurse Educator (CNE) providing bedside teaching and hands-on training. Enjoy access to ongoing education, study days, and opportunities to upskill in cardiac, stroke, and general medical care, with support to achieve your competencies and career goals. Most importantly, you’ll never be on your own — our team works together and supports each other every step of the way.
