care for patients who have breast cancer. In April 2017, a high dependency unit was established at the hospital. In its first four months of operation, 40 patients were admitted for specialised care. It enables us to admit patients who have more complex needs (such as cardiac monitoring) but do not require coronary or intensive care. New monitors installed at the unit were supported by a donation through the Cabrini Foundation. Other improvements at this hospital in 2016-17 include: • Installation of a new MRI machine in May 2016 • Installation of high-tech sleep clinic assessment monitoring equipment in January 2017 • Addition of an inpatient and outpatient lymphoedema clinic to support patients who develop this condition as a result of surgery or cancer treatment • Introduction of an echocardiography service • Introduction of an outpatient multidisciplinary clinic for dementia and cognition care, as well outpatient dietetics, physiotherapy and diabetic education clinics
