Shaped by staff feedback and guided by the Mission, 
Christianity in Action, the San Spirit provides a clear 
framework for how people work together, communicate, 
learn, support one another and deliver care.
Built around five values – Lead with Compassion; Act 
with Safety; Communicate What Matters; Reflect, 
Learn and Adapt; and Serve as a Team – the San

Interventional Neuroradiology Theatre 
The San continues to invest in leading-edge 
technology to support clinicians and enhance 
patient care, with several major advancements 
introduced across the hospital this year.
Among them is the new Interventional Neuroradiology 
Theatre, Australia’s most advanced neurosurgery 
theatre, allowing the San to treat more neurological 
patients on site and reduce the need for urgent 
transfers in neurological emergencies. The theatre was 
opened by Member for Wahroonga, Alister Henskens 
SC MP.
The hospital also became the first in the Southern 
Hemisphere to introduce the da Vinci 5 surgical 
system, providing the latest generation of robotic-
assisted surgery technology, including telepresence 
capability, and the first in the Asia Pacific region to 
utilise new cranial arm technology, supporting greater 
precision and efficiency in neurosurgical procedures.
Additional investments include a new G-Arm, 
delivering enhanced intraoperative imaging.
In orthopaedics, the Mako robotic platform has 
been upgraded with a shoulder application, 
enabling the first robotic shoulder replacement 
surgery performed in NSW. A further upgrade 
to Mako is also scheduled for later this year, 
continuing to expand robotic capabilities for 
orthopaedic surgeons.
Together, these investments reflect the San’s 
ongoing commitment to innovation and ensuring 
clinicians have access to the technology needed 
to deliver world-class patient care.
Investing in Innovation
Spirit is designed to ensure the values of 
the organisation are not just known, but 
consistently lived and experienced every day.
As valued clinical partners, doctors play an 
important role in bringing these values to life 
through everyday interactions with patients, 
colleagues and care teams.
