Refurbishments at The Alfred

The Alfred will use Dry July funds to update the patient waiting area at William Buckland Radiotherapy Centre. This will include refurbishments to the reception area, introduction of more private seating for patients and carers, and mobile phone charging stations. 

In addition, the hospital will use Dry July money to improve 7 East ward kitchenette for patients, including: installation of a duel water filter tap which provides filtered cold water and boiling water from a unit above the sink; adding more storage; building a shelf for the ice machine; including a shelf for the microwave to free up bench space; and fitting out an area for bin storage. Patients spend a lot of time on the ward and these simple upgrades to the kitchen area will make the space a little more welcoming and usable.
