A message from the CEO | March

“Together we are making a difference in people’s lives”

Peter Milne, Clifford Craig Foundation CEO

It is difficult to believe that we are already three months into 2023 with the year shaping up to be a transformational year for the Clifford Craig Foundation.

 As you will read in our March edition of Priceless, momentum is building for the establishment of the new Health Research & Innovation Centre at the LGH this year. This will see the relocation of the Clifford Craig Foundation to the NICS Building, which becomes a research and education precinct. The research floor will be significantly expanded to provide purpose-built research facility that will greatly improve research capacity in the North and North-West of the State. 

It is an exciting development that will be a real game changer for research in the region and will culminate many years of preparatory work undertaken by the Foundation.

This year will also see the introduction of a new research education initiative that has been developed and funded by the Foundation to better assist advanced trainees and registrars who are undertaking their subspecialty training at the hospital. To be delivered by the clinical school in consultation with the clinical education co-ordinators, this new initiative will be unique to the LGH and will greatly support the attraction and retention of medical staff.

As we are now in the 31st year of operation, these two major developments are a great example of the significant work undertaken by the Foundation, on behalf of the community, to continually support the hospital to enable the delivery of better clinical care for our patients.

Together we are making a difference in people’s lives.
