  • People of SCGOPHCG - Judy Lee 02 August 2022 Judy Lee is an Epilepsy Clinical Nurse who has worked with the Epileptologists from the WA Adult Epilepsy Service for the past 16 years. In 2016 the Service was transferred from Royal Perth Hospital, where Judy had been based for ten years, to the Neurology Department at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. The Service’s move to SCGH was undertaken to centralise clinical expertise and resources, as part of the State Centre for Neurosciences based at the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre. In 2019, Judy developed the Nursing Standards of Practice for Video-EEG Monitoring. Alongside this, she continues to provide regular education for nurses in the Neurology Ward in caring for patients admitted for video-EEG monitoring, including pre-surgical evaluation of epilepsy patients. Judy has undertaken a new project over the last year, publishing a booklet called “Anti-seizure Medications in ...

  • A patient receiving virtual care
    Virtual Care ensures equivalent country health support 28 October 2021 A very successful partnership between WA Country Health Service (WACHS) and NMHS used virtual care to support stroke rehabilitation patients admitted at Geraldton Hospital. The program connected with the Osborne Park Hospital specialist stroke unit to deliver virtual clinical treatment sessions with the patient and clinician in Geraldton, with a multi-disciplinary team also involved in treatment. Designed to improve access to specialist stroke rehabilitation services closer to home for country patients, this scope of work was a trial run for others who could benefit from this virtual care model in the future. Telehealth enabled individual clinical therapy sessions at Geraldton Hospital, weekly multidisciplinary rehab team meetings, and clinical handover between OPH and Geraldton. The provision of monthly stroke specific workforce education by OPH to WACHS clinicians via telehealth also e...
  • Ray Budge
    Ray's retiring after 51 years of Radiotherapy 27 October 2021 There will be plenty of things for Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital’s Ray Budge to do in retirement: spending time with his nine grandchildren, helping in church activities, and sipping tea while reflecting on his incredible 51-year career in radiotherapy where he has seen many technological advances and improvements in treatment outcomes for patients with cancer. Ray joined the radiotherapy team in 1970 as a cadet radiographer at the Institute of Radiotherapy, then a branch of Royal Perth Hospital, and learned to operate a number of radiation therapy machines. Management of the Institute was passed to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in 1975 and the Department of Radiotherapy grew quite quickly with the arrival of additional modern machines. Ray has witnessed many technological changes; the radiation therapy machines have been improved to give higher radiation doses with enhanced preci...
