Community Engagement
In addition to its role within the hospital, our surgical team also maintains an active involvement within the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS). Our surgeons instruct on numerous courses such as ASSET, EMST, Foundation Skills for Surgical Educators and GSA training days and serve of numerous committees, such as the Victorian Regional Committee and the Academic Surgical Committee.
As a sign of our commitment to improving patient outcomes, members of the surgical team have also established The Hope Fund, a philanthropic foundation with a focus on funding activities that will directly improve the outcomes of patients undergoing surgery. For details regarding the foundation and the outcomes that have achieved, please visit the The Hope Fund website.
