A huge thank you to the incredible Country Women’s Association Williamstown branch for their generous fundraising efforts — and for welcoming Professor Heather Cleland and specialist burns nurse Mel Neely to share insights into the lifesaving work of The Alfred’s Burns Unit.

It was a Monday morning when The Alfred’s mobile Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) team received the call.
A man had collapsed at a gym in Melbourne. No pulse. No heartbeat. No time to get him to hospital.
The mobile ECPR team grabbed the portable Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) heart-lung machine, boarded the response vehicle and raced across the city, bringing this lifesaving procedure direct to Hugh.
Today, Hugh is home. Sharing moments with wife Meridee that she feared she had lost forever.
Victorian cancer patients will soon have access to one of the most advanced imaging technologies available globally, with The Alfred becoming the first public hospital in the state to install a total-body Quadra PET scanner – the fastest and most precise of its kind.
The scanner, which is housed in the Paula Fox Melanoma and Cancer Centre’s soon-to-be-opened Theranostics Service, will transform outcomes for patients across Victoria, said Prof Mark Shackleton (pictured), Director Oncology at The Alfred.

More than $3000 was raised for the Burns Unit at The Alfred thanks to the efforts of Natimuk & District Field & Game Inc and CFA (Country Fire Authority) District 17 at its annual clay pigeon event.
Coordinator Dale Russell, a life member of both groups, recently toured the burns unit with Dr Tam Quinn (pictured), said it was an “honour” to visit. “It highlighted to me the dedication and wonderful care that The Alfred provides to our community,” he said.
Mr Russell said he was “blown away” by the donations, which were much higher than in the past. The event has been running since 2001 and is closing in on a total of $30,000 over its lifetime.

This week is Invisible Disabilities Week (19–25 October)! 🌻
We are a proud participant of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower initiative with the sunflower being an international symbol to show that the user has a hidden disability or chronic condition that is not obvious.
This may mean you or a loved one need some extra support when coming to hospital. Not all disabilities are visible — but a little understanding and kindness can go a long way in making everyone feel seen and supported.
