    Congratulations RPH Head of Cardiology - $1.8M funding to investigate treatment of a common heart condition 20 November 2019 Royal Perth Hospital (RPH) Cardiologist, Professor Graham Hillis, has been awarded more than $1.8M in funding for his research team to investigate treatment of a common heart condition. The funding is from the Federal Government’s Medical Research Future Fund which aims to support researchers to make the next big medical discoveries that benefit all Australians. It will support an international team that will investigate if early valve replacement improves the outcome for patients with severe aortic stenosis, or narrowing of the valve between the heart and the major artery that carries blood around the body. Aortic stenosis is a common and serious heart condition that is becoming increasingly frequent due to an ageing population. “The narrowing of the valve prevents it from opening fully which then obstructs blood flow from your heart into the aorta, the main artery in your body,” Graham explained. “This means that your heart needs to work harder to pump bloo...

  • Members of the Prison Hep C Videocall treatment program team
    Prison Hepatitis C Videocall Treatment Program: a 2019 WA Heath Excellence Awards Finalist01 November 2019Everything we do at EMHS is done so with our community in mind, including delivering services that are helping to improve health outcomes for some of the most isolated individuals in our community. The RPH Liver Service was recently recognised as a finalist in the 2019 WA Health Excellence Awards for developing the innovative Prison Hepatitis C Videocall Treatment Program – the only one of its kind in Australia. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) affects approximately 230,000 people throughout Australia.It is treatable but disproportionately prevalent in prisons. HCV is a common cause of end-stage liver failure and liver cancer and is a leading sign for liver transplantation. Prisoners with HCV still require hospital treatment which involves waiting lists and high costs in transportation. The RPH Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, in consultation with RPH Outpatient and Telehealth units, initiated a new model of care for prison HCV patients based on video technology through a pr...
  • Improving delivery of care after discharge for Aboriginal cardiac patients.
    Improving the Delivery of Care after Discharge for Aboriginal Cardiac Patients: a WA Health Excellence Award Finalist29 October 2019At EMHS we are committed to supporting cultural diversity, including continuing to expand our understanding and knowledge of Aboriginal culture to reduce health gaps. Recently two EMHS projects that are committed to achieving better health outcomes for Aboriginal people were recognised as finalists in the 2019 WA Health Excellence Awards. Read about a very special project that is delivering culturally appropriate cardiac follow-up appointments and support services to allow our rural and remote Aboriginal patients to remain closer to home and country during their healthcare journey. The attendance rate for post discharge medical follow-up in RPH cardiology clinics was noticeably lower in Aboriginal patients (63%) compared with the general population (85.9%), increasing the risk of future cardiac events for these patients. The RPH Aboriginal Discharge Optimisation Project team investigated further and identified several barriers affecting follow-up appointment attendance rates and conseq...
