BASIC INFORMATION<br />
The Princess Alexandra Hospital is a tertiary referral teaching hospital, providing<br />
comprehensive services to the southwestern area of Queensland. The PA is an 800-<br />
bed hospital located 4km from the CBD in Woolloongabba. It provides the full<br />
range of adult specialty services (excluding O&G) and serves a culturally and<br />
linguistically diverse patient population. Innovation is part of our DNA and in<br />
November 2015, the PA became Australia’s first large-scale digital hospital. In a<br />
world first, two robotic x-ray machines have been installed in the Emergency<br />
Department resuscitation rooms – this provides live, high-quality images with<br />
efficiency and minimal patient movement. As a major trauma centre, we have a<br />
retrieval service with a helipad located on the roof of the hospital building, which<br />
incorporates a high-speed lift that travels directly into a resuscitation room.<br />
The PA has the only secure health unit specifically for Queensland prisoners<br />
requiring general hospitalisation and treatment. We are the major centre for liver<br />
and kidney transplantation and home to some state-wide services e.g. melanoma<br />
and sarcoma service. The PA is nationally recognised for its expertise in digital<br />
health and telehealth. There are strong links with the co-located research facility,<br />
the Translational Research Institute (TRI), as well as collaborations with The<br />
University of Queensland and Queensland University of Technology. The PA is a<br />
popular choice and is usually oversubscribed in the Queensland intern and RMO<br />
recruitment campaigns.
