Princess Alexandra Hospital is a Magnet designated facility. |
Achieving Magnet Recognition ultimately recognises our 2,200 valuable nurses, the highest quality of care they deliver, the support they receive, opportunities available, the team environment, commitment and spirit that we are extremely proud of.
Magnet is an international program which has three decades of evidence based research recognising the benefits of the program to both staff and patients. Magnet empowers nursing through creating a culture that values clinician participation in decision making, transparent review of work practices and support for personal and professional development with a focus on evidence based patient outcomes.
The international program is transferable within all healthcare settings but only an elite 334 healthcare facilities have met the stringent criteria.
Other designated international facilities include: New Zealand's Hutt Valley District and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Western Australia. In addition, St Vincent's Private Hospital in Sydney has applied for designation and the PAH is supporting their application.
