Our initiative, based on consumer research, deals with the challenge of increasing our patients’ blood clots risk awareness, providing tools to help patients to care for themselves.

Our interventions address the risk that cross contamination, caused by poor hand hygiene, may pose to patients, educating both patients and visitors as well as hospital teams.

A range of strategies to reduce healthcare associated infections includes screening, and appropriate management for those with - or likely to have - antibiotic-resistant organisms.

Every year we survey a sample of patients who have received care at one of our hospitals. We invite patients to share their Southern Cross hospital experience.
