The Acute General Surgical Unit is a unit providing services across both Alfred and Sandringham, incorporating acute General Surgery at The Alfred and encompasses all general surgical work performed at the Sandringham Hospital.  Those patients who have complex conditions and who require a high level of care will be directed to the Alfred campus, whilst the Sandringham site is targeted for high volume, low complexity, short stay general surgery elective and emergency cases.
