We just planted a Satsumu plum tree in the rear garden at HH. We had an old one maybe 50 years of age that used to give bountifully for delicious stewed plums and plum jam but sadly died the other year from old age. Hoping that the new plum tree will be as fruitful over the years ahead. Staff are excited!

Spring in the Hamilton House Garden

The garden is waking up after winter, with new life and colour emerging everywhere. The roses, freshly pruned, are bursting into leaf and the first blooms are just beginning to appear.

Bright geraniums continue to thrive, adding splashes of colour under the Weeping Mulberry and in the beds outside Theatre. Meanwhile, the last mandarins are slowly ripening on the citrus trees, a final taste of winter before the abundance of spring takes over.

It’s a wonderful time of year in the garden, with the promise of vibrant growth and blossoms ahead. 🌿🌹🍊

Last Friday, Hamilton House Day Surgery successfully completed its triennial accreditation survey with the American Association for the Accreditation of Ambulatory Facilities International (QuADA). We are proud to share that we passed with flying colours, securing not only National Accreditation but also International Accreditation—making Hamilton House the only Day Surgery in Australia and New Zealand to achieve this distinction.

Hamilton House has proudly held QuADA accreditation since 2009, alongside continuous accreditation from the Australian NSQHS standards since 1998.

This year’s survey was conducted by highly experienced QuADA Surveyor, Lisa Siebert RN, who carried out a thorough assessment of every aspect of our quality and safety systems. The process is rigorous, requiring compliance with several hundred criteria across all standards. We are delighted to report that Hamilton House met every requirement, with no deficiencies identified.

Lisa shared her reflections following the visit:

“Thank you Dr Hamilton for the great day. I continue to be so impressed with your practice Hamilton House Plastic Surgery and felt especially privileged to see your Quality Activities meeting. So very beneficial to engage your staff in all aspects of the clinic.

Your efforts at ticking the boxes and satisfying all the standards certainly reflect your concern for patient safety, and again, very impressive! We at QuADA are very proud to accredit your beautiful Hamilton House facility, and it really is a great example to use as a safe and sanitary practice.”

We are grateful to Lisa for her generous words and to our entire team for their commitment to excellence. This achievement is another proud milestone in our ongoing mission to deliver the highest standard of care to every patient.

Carpal tunnel syndrome can vary in intensity. When conservative measures, such as splinting, prove to be ineffective, then surgical decompression of the median nerve, carpal tunnel release, is the most effective treatment option.

During a hand surgery consultation with Dr. Hamilton at our Adelaide or peripheral offices, patients will have their hand examined for strength, function and sensitivity to ensure a correct diagnosis. Sometimes testing is also arranged in the form of a nerve conduction study, which will usually indicate the presence of a nerve conduction block, significant in carpal tunnel syndrome. After a thorough diagnostic session, Dr. Hamilton may recommend a procedure known as carpal tunnel release.

Dr Hamilton is honoured to be recognised by the global medical student community.

As a medical student at the University of Adelaide, Dr Richard Hamilton served as National President of the Australian Medical Students’ Association (AMSA). His leadership journey took him to international conferences and ultimately to the role of World President of the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA).

This month, Dr Hamilton was awarded Honorary Life Membership of the IFMSA by their General Assembly in Greece – a permanent recognition of his service to the global medical student movement.

Although unable to attend in person, he joined online to witness the occasion and reflect on how formative his time with IFMSA has been for his career and values as a doctor.

Dr Hamilton extends his sincere thanks to the IFMSA for this acknowledgement, and to the many inspiring colleagues and students he has worked alongside over the years.

Nestled at 470 Goodwood Road in Cumberland Park, our striking two-storey Art Deco gem was crafted in the late 1930s by esteemed Adelaide architect Jack Cheesman. Originally serving as a surgeon’s residence and consulting rooms for Dr Escourt Hughes, the building has gracefully transformed over the decades.

In the late 1990s, architect A.R. “Tui” Reynolds of Brown Falconer Architects led its renovation, honouring its architectural elegance while adapting it for modern medical use. Since then, Hamilton House has evolved into a state-of-the-art private plastic surgery practice, combining heritage charm with contemporary care.

Our new logo has been designed to celebrate Hamilton House as a destination for total patient care, a space where history, precision, and compassion come together.

Today, under the dedicated guidance of Dr Richard Hamilton who brings over 30 years of experience, the practice embraces a patient-centred philosophy. Communication, education, and compassion are at its core, empowering patients to make informed decisions and achieve confident, realistic results.
