Our Foundation is proud to support the development of the new Diab...etes Centre, knowing that it will make an incredible difference to our patients and local community.

10.01.2022 Applications for our internal Prince of Wales Hospital Foundation Grant Rounds will be closing in two days! To mark this, we are spotlighting the work of Professor Ken Butcher and his team, who are working to dramatically improve the care of stroke patients at our Hospital through a research Grant he was awarded in 2019. POW-SPIRE includes a prospective, observational study which aims to improve the selection of stroke patients suitable for reperfusion therapy, a treatment ...which restores blood flow. The funds have allowed us to incorporate objective CT Perfusion imaging into the standard workflow of all patients presenting with a possible stroke to Prince of Wales Hospital. After rolling out the new package across the District it has proved invaluable in identifying patients from other hospitals who benefit from additional therapy here at Prince of Wales. Congratulations Professor Butcher on your work and the incredible difference you will be making to patient care! To find out more about our 2020 Grant rounds, contact [email protected]

When chatting with Jarrad, he says he is honoured to work so closely and intimately with people every day. Jarrad works hard with his patients to achieve actions we can often take for granted, such as brushing your teeth or lifting your groceries out of your car.

07.01.2022 Chloe was only 28 years old when she suffered a spinal injury during a skiing accident.

02.01.2022 Spinal injuries are complex, life-altering injuries that require a team of health professionals to support patients through rehabilitation. This includes physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and others who are united by one goal: to empower our patients to achieve as much independence as possible physically, emotionally and psychologically. #powhf #yourhospital #supportnow

02.01.2022 Did you see that it is World Sight Day? An interesting fact about eye care is that a thorough eye examination can often alert the Ophthalmologist to medical issues that the patient may not be aware of. Eye examination can reveal clues to the body's overall health. Diabetes, high blood pressure, cancers, autoimmune diseases and sexually transmitted diseases and are among the medical issues that can be detected during an eye exam. This can allow for early detection and treat...ment. I believe that something that we do particularly well at the Prince of Wales Hospital Eye Clinic is the holistic care of the patient. Given the close relationship that we have with many specialty departments on this campus there is often opportunity for liaison and shared care of many, often complex, patients. The Hospitals eye clinic deals with a range of sight threatening situations from acute presentations of vision disturbance or injury to chronic conditions which can cause permanent, irreparable vision loss. Thus a thorough eye exam in these various circumstances can address early detection and prevention. Michael, Nurse Unit Manager of the Prince of Wales Hospital Eye Clinic.
