The South Metropolitan Health Service Cardiothoracic Anaesthetic Research Group investigate causes and possible treatments for clinical problems experienced by heart and lung surgery patients, or for those who have heart failure or advanced lung disease.

Our new hyperbaric chamber has been named in honour of Clinical Nurse Helen Jefferies, who retired earlier this year after 30 years working in the Hyperbaric Unit at both Fiona Stanley and Fremantle hospitals.

Through her occupational health and safety research, South Metropolitan Health Service Work Health and Safety Manager Michelle Farmer is committed to supporting staff injured in the workplace in getting back to work.

Fiona Stanley Hospital is the first hospital in Australia to recruit a patient for a clinical trial of a new drug to manage Crohn’s disease.
