Our service takes primary responsibility for devising and implementing best-practice antimicrobial policies and protocols at Fremantle Hospital and has a lead role in the promotion of best-practice infection management and antimicrobial prescribing.
We also participate actively in the multidisciplinary diabetic foot ulcer and orthopaedic infection inpatient and outpatient services at Fremantle Hospital
Specialist psychological services with a focus on adjustment and mood disorders related to hepatitis C, HIV and sexual health are available within the department.
