  • Many hands in prayer
    SCGOPHCG Chaplaincy and Easter Services at SCGH 13 April 2022 SCGOPHCG hospitals care for the whole person, not just their physical condition. For many people, emotional and spiritual issues surface while they are in hospital. Life crises such as illness and hospitalisation can raise spiritual questions or issues of meaning and value. Our Chaplaincy and Spiritual Services Department exists to offer compassionate, professional spiritual ministry to all patients, family, support persons and staff during their time at our hospital. Chaplains and Pastoral Assistants provide support through pastoral care, pastoral counselling, and spiritual rituals. You do not have to be a religious person to receive pastoral care. Pastoral Care principles are patient-centred and not religiously based and we strive to provide accompaniment, support and care for all. Australia is a multi-cultural country whose people have different beliefs and spiritual needs. If you are...
  • ​Hannah McPierzie
    SCGH Medical Marvel 07 April 2022 Imagine having to choose between walking and hearing for the rest of your life. That was the decision Hannah McPierzie had to make when told of the potential consequences of either leaving a brain tumour undisturbed or having surgery to remove it. Ultimately, Hannah decided to proceed with extraordinary invasive surgery to remove the tumour and began preparing herself for a life without sound. There was one glimmer of hope offered to Hannah; the possibility of implanting an auditory brain stem which may have given her back some hearing, but not with certainty. Hannah's partner said that upon learning about the auditory surgery, they looked at hospitals and surgeons all over the world who could possibly perform it and decided that the best team was right here in Perth. Dr Jaffri Kuthubutheen is an otolaryngologist, a doctor who specialises in treating conditions affecting the ears, nose,...
