Royal Perth Hospital is Western Australia's premier teaching hospital, providing a full range of emergency services for adults (except obstetrics) and serving as the State referral centre for many super-specialities.
Areas of excellence include interventional neuroradiology, cardiac and lung transplant, burns management, bone marrow transplantation, rehabilitation medicine and trauma services.
RPH has hosted many significant breakthroughs in medical research - significantly, the bacterium Helicobactor pylori, which was found to cause stomach ulcers, and won the 2005 Nobel Prize for former staff members Dr Robin Warren and Professor Barry Marshall.
Research is a vital component of patient care, without which advances in diagnosis and treatment would not occur. In recognising this need, the Royal Perth Hospital Medical Research Foundation was established in 1983 to support medical research, with the aim of improving the quality of health care available to all Western Australians.
Since then a number of our research teams have attracted prestigious and highly competitive grants from outside bodies, thus strengthening Royal Perth Hospitalâ??s position as a leading national centre for basic and clinical research.
Whilst the Foundation is an independent organisation, it maintains a close association with Royal Perth Hospital to ensure that all funds are utilised in the most effective manner.
The Foundation will continue to work collaboratively with researchers, doctors and scientists from other hospitals, universities and research institutes in an effort to benefit all West Australians.
We are doing research into areas associated with Trauma, Burns, Cardiothoracic, Immunology, Emergency Medicine, Geriatrics Orthopaedics, Mental Health, Oncology and Diabetes, to name just a few.
