Alfred Health was named Premier’s Large Public Health Service of the Year at the Victorian Public Healthcare Awards on Thursday night.

Each year, there are more than 475,000 Australians living with the aftermath of stroke. However, despite this figure, Alfred stroke specialists say there continues to be a lot of public misunderstanding about what a stroke is and why it is so important to recognise its symptoms as soon as possible.

This five month course will provide students with a thorough understanding of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) and Research Methods (RM) in the emergency medicine setting.

The Alfred Adult ECMO Course is for doctors, nurses and perfusionists seeking to provide ECMO support to patients with severe forms of cardiac and respiratory failure.
