We're excited to announce that The Royal Melbourne Hospital will be able to fund the following thanks to Dry July 2023 fundraising:

• Exercise Equipment for Haematology Patients – Exercise is an important part of a cancer treatment plan and it is important that we have the right equipment for our patients to maintain muscle strength during their chemotherapy treatment

• STEP Caring for Patients in the Right Place – By purchasing new recliners and a commode for leg extension, we can get patients out of bed safely and early in their recovery, as well as provide a comfortable and safe alternative to staying in bed. This will lead to fewer complications from being bed-bound for extended periods and allow patients more comfort and dignity as they recover

• 5 West Day Medical Unit items – Improving the patient experience of our ward by making the environment appear less clinical, and more homely, will have a positive impact on the mental health and well-being of patients and staff alike, as well as making the patients more comfortable
