AUSTRALIAN MEDICAL ROBOTICS ACADEMY

Client: APC/Maben
Market: Healthcare
Date: 2019

The Australian Prostate Centre (APC) is a medical facility like no other, uniting research, education, treatment and support in a one of a kind, world class setting in Melbourne’s medical precinct.
In 2019 Electrocom Solutions a long-time supporter of the APC was honoured to be invited again on a design & construct basis for the new Australian Medical Robotics Academy which will train the next generation of surgeons to perform cutting-edge procedures using robots on hard-to-reach and small internal spaces. It’s the first step in a major revolutionary advance in everyday surgery.
Robotics surgery already features at a small number of private hospitals, but by training more surgeons, the Government is setting a blueprint for the procedures to become more commonplace throughout Victoria, Australia and the world.
The new academy features world-class virtual reality surgical simulators for local and international surgeons to build their skills before live surgery. Like airline pilot training, the simulators provide feedback on errors and efficiency of surgeon movements.
We thank APC, Maben Group and Jacobs Architecture for the opportunity to be involved in such as innovative space and for entrusting Electrocom Solutions to design and deliver the electrical services incorporating lighting, power and communications services.
