About us

In October 2019, a new purpose-built Trauma and Orthopaedics ward, 5 West, opened at The Alfred. 5 West is a 40-bed ward (including 8 single-bed patient rooms), with a dedicated surgical procedure zone, active therapy zones and spaces for families and carers.

The redeveloped ward provided an opportunity to create a contemporary Allied Health workforce model. The new Allied Health workforce enabled early, intensive intervention across physical, functional and cognitive domains with attention on achievement of patient directed goals. The expanded multidisciplinary model is delivered 7 days a week and is aimed at supporting improved recovery outcomes for Trauma and Orthopaedic patients.

The Ward 5 West Allied Health team includes clinicians from Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Orthotics and Prosthetics, Speech Pathology, Social Work, Nutrition and Psychology (including Neuropsychology) and will be supported by Allied Health Assistants. The Allied Health team works closely with the Nursing and Medical teams to provide a comprehensive and timely service to patients on Ward 5 West.
