  • 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 glass of water
    Water Safety at Charlies 14 February 2022 We acknowledge that the report in the media (external site) today focusing on the detection of Legionella in the water system at SCGH (12 February 2022) has caused distress and concern among our staff, patients and visitors. We remain committed to being open and transparent with our patients and their families and the cases referred to in today’s media article were no exception to this commitment. Legionella is a bacterium that lives in water. The finding of Legionella in a water system is not unusual - in fact your household water pipework is likely to contain the same bacteria, especially if not regularly flushed. SCGH has had a robust water testing regime in place for many years, and when there is a detection we immediately remediate it, including replacing fixtures and fittings and retesting until there is a negative result. Legionella is killed by chlorine just like other bac...

    ED Covid-19 Preparedness 11 February 2022 You may have noticed something different at the front of Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (SCGH) Emergency Department (ED), which has been transformed as part of our Covid preparedness planning. The new features and processes aim to support the safe care of patients and protect staff. The latest piece was the delivery and set up of the screening hub, which will be an invaluable tool in keeping patients safe by triaging suspected COVID-19 positive patients. The SCGH ED screening hub officially opened on 9 Feb and is located outside of the ED entrance. On arrival to the ED patients, staff and visitors will be screened by the nursing staff in the hub into one of 3 streams- Green, Amber or Red Zones. SCGH Emergency Department Acting Coordinator of Nursing Meggs Griffin explains that the SCGH ED has been streaming/zoning patients since December 24 last year. “The box is airconditioned w...
