  • Sleep clinic assessment
    The importance of sleep 10 September 2021 30-year-old Anntoinette Mario credits her Personal Trainer with insisting she get checked after she was dizzy and short of breath at a gym session last year. Putting it down to shift work and a busy schedule, she’s grateful now to have been referred to the Sleep Disorder Clinic at SCGH for sleep study tests for a firm diagnosis and health plan going forward. “I don’t drive anymore; I’m so tired all the time and I’m scared I’ll hurt someone,” said Anntoinette. “Thank goodness I’m here getting this sorted out while I’m young; I’m grateful to get some treatment.” According to Sleep Scientist Sarah Mutch, women make up about 35% of sleep study patients at SCGH, with the majority coming in for obstructive sleep apnoea, sleep hypo-ventilation or insomnia. “There are lots of other reasons people come too like restless...
  • Dr Joske with a patient
    Patient Compliment – ‘It is an amazing place with awesome service and people’ 09 September 2021 I cannot fault the Cancer Centre at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. It is an amazing place with awesome service and people. Starting with the people behind the desks as you come in and book, they are gold, always a friendly face and smile. The radiation section are professional and accommodating, caring and considerate. The chemo ward is amazing with amazing nurses, they are very unique. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’m going to miss going there once my treatment is over. Every single one of them are unforgettable. They bring sunshine in when the dark clouds hover. When I had my face to face appointments before my treatments, initially I was anxious seeing a different doctor each time but after a few appointments I was totally OK with that as all were on the same page and knew my background. Definitely a team environment here. Not that I want cancer again , but i...
  • Rosie and Melanie Sonsee
    Don't lose your voice - Rosie's story 03 September 2021 In August we officially launched the video “Don’t lose your voice - Rosie’s story,” in which Rosie Charlie proudly shares her experience of having a laryngectomy from diagnosis to treatment and beyond. In this video, the first laryngectomy resource developed specifically for Aboriginal patients, Rosie bravely tells her story with the hope of helping others who are faced with the terrifying news of having their voice box removed. The video production was funded through the Charlies Foundation for Research "Bright Ideas Grant Program" awarded to Melanie Sonsee, SCGH Speech Pathologist. The video was produced with the assistance of SCGH staff including - Aboriginal Liaison Officers and staff of G64 and the ENT Outpatient Department and is available throughout Australia. We're so thrilled to see excellent resources like these become available far and wide and we thank...
  • Some of our new SCGH ED recruits.
    Rapid Recruitment welcomes 29 in ED 02 September 2021 Across NMHS we have identified a number of strategies to support rapid recruitment while remaining committed to securing the required skilled staff to meet our current demand. We have increased the numbers of permanent nursing positions and we’re attracting new staff to the organisation. Our SCGH Emergency Department is leading the charge in large scale, successful recruitment with 25 new Registered Nurses starting with us next week, as well as four Mental Health Nurses to ensure mental health patients in the ED are able to be cared for by suitably skilled nursing staff. The ED leadership team has come up with creative ways to support this large number of new starters to ensure there is a safe and structured introduction to SCGOPHCG. Welcome to the NMHS family.
  • Some of the NIISwa team at SCGH
    Thanks to NIISwa during Stroke Awareness Week 01 September 2021 This week is National Stroke Week with a focus on the SCGOPHCG Neurological Intervention and Imaging Service of Western Australia (NIISwa) and their incredible work for stroke patients. Getting the best outcomes in stroke is a team effort and NIISwa works very closely with the departments of emergency medicine, imaging, neurology, anaesthesia, neurosurgery, ICU, and the specialty wards. In partnering with St John’s Ambulance and Royal Flying Doctor Service the service has been able to expedite the transfer of stroke victims as quickly as possible to NIISwa centres where a clot retrieval can be performed. Last year the NIISwa team performed approximately 330 emergency stroke clot retrievals for the state, almost one per day, with an estimated 100 patients per year that avoided life-long care and dependency. “The chances of a patient making a good recovery from a severe stroke...
