π₯ Celebrating Excellence in Emergency Care π₯
Emergency departments are the front door to life-saving care - dynamic, demanding spaces where lives are changed every day. The Australasian Emergency Department of the Year Award recognises teams that innovate, improve, and inspire - advancing emergency care for both their colleagues and the communities they serve.
This year, we proudly congratulate The Queen Elizabeth Hospital Emergency Department, South Australia, as the 2025 Australasian Emergency Department of the Year.
Despite the significant challenge of relocation, this outstanding team has maintained exceptional patient outcomes through evidence-based practice, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to compassionate, patient-centred care. Their multidisciplinary approach has improved satisfaction, reduced waiting times, and fostered a culture of safety through continuous performance monitoring and rapid, 24-hour incident review processes.
π Congratulations to the entire team at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital ED - a shining example of excellence, leadership, and dedication in emergency care.
