  • International Women's Day photo
    International Women's Day08 March 2020At EMHS we celebrate the achievements of our organisation's amazing women at every opportunity. Today, on International Women’s Day, we would like to share with you the excellent achievement of Armadale Hospital’s Intensive Care Physiotherapist, Fion Lau. Fion recently became the first Physiotherapist in Australia to complete a Certificate of Allied Health Performed Ultrasound (CAHPU) and be accredited by the Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (ASUM). Congratulations and well done Fion! The CAHPU qualification means Fion is the first Australian Physiotherapist to be qualified to perform lung and diaphragm ultrasounds at a patient’s bedside. “I feel very humble about this achievement,” said Fion. “Without the support of my team in Armadale Kalamunda Group and EMHS, I would not have been able to achieve what I have. “This achievement was a multi-disciplinary and multi-team effort between medical and physiotherapy staff, and the intensive care unit and emergency teams.” ...

    Kalamunda Hospital patient garden project moves to next phase 29 February 2020With the comfort of our patients in mind, the next phase of a dedicated garden for palliative care patients at Kalamunda Hospital has seen the installation of shade sails, providing areas of shelter in the outdoor area. The space for the garden was chosen with accessibility in mind, ensuring that patients in wheelchairs and beds will have the same opportunity to enjoy time in the tranquil setting with family and friends. Jo Harris, Coordinator of Nursing, said that the area is intended to be attractive and usable by all. “When we complete the project in the coming months, we will have private seating areas, barbeque facilities and soft landscaping for young children to play. “There’s a number of patient rooms that face out to the courtyard too, so these patients can enjoy the native landscaping and soothing vista for much of the time they’re in their rooms. “We’re fortunate that the location of our hospital, nestled amongst bushland, offers such spaces, replicating the comfort and...

    2020: International Year of the Nurse and Midwife06 January 2020This year has been declared as the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife by the World Health Organisation in recognition of the vital role nurses and midwives play in caring for our community. The theme for the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife is Champions for Change – nurses and midwives have always been, and continue to be, dynamic professionals who deliver care and compassion across the continuum of life. Nurses and midwives are there when the first breath is taken and when the last breath has left. They provide care in the most vulnerable moments in the lives of our patients and their families, and are paramount to the provision of high quality healthcare. This year also coincides with the 200th birthday of the founder of modern nursing and a true patient advocate and change agent – Florence Nightingale, who once said: "I am of certain convinced that the greatest heroes are those who do their duty in the daily grind of domestic affairs whilst the world ...

    Congratulations RPH Head of Cardiology - $1.8M funding to investigate treatment of a common heart condition20 November 2019Royal 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...
