Acquiring the most advanced equipment and technology is essential to achieving the best outcomes for patients. Below are just some of the projects the community has helped fund through the Good Friday Appeal, thanks to your support.
RETCAMs are specialised cameras that take detailed pictures of the eyes. Doctors use them to check for eye disease in newborns, infants, and children, including Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP).
These brand-new, modern devices will make it possible to safely transport intubated babies across the hospital, including to the MRI suite where this specialised equipment is required.
Through Good Friday Appeal support, RCH Ophthalmologists will have access to the latest equipment and technology, with the upgrade of a vital tool used in screening for eye disease in newborns, known as a RETCAM.
Clinicians across the hospital will have access to the latest equipment through the upgrade of 19 electrosurgical units.
Ageing neurophysiology equipment will be upgraded to cutting-edge pieces to provide the highest standard of care to patients.
New radiation monitoring technology funded by the RCH Auxiliaries through the Good Friday Appeal is ensuring long term health outcomes for patients.
Families can have answers about their child's hearing faster and in one appointment thanks to new auditory equipment funded by the Appeal.
Cardiac surgeons will have greater visibility and stability of the surgical area thanks to a unique piece of equipment funded by the Appeal.
