  • Kristine Tetlaw
    Caring for families experiencing perinatal loss– AKG: a WA Health Excellence Award Finalist07 November 2019Armadale Kalamunda Group midwife Kristine Tetlaw was recently named as a finalist in the 2019 WA Health Excellence Awards for her efforts to educate the multidisciplinary healthcare team about the perinatal loss experience and how to best care for these families during this very sad time. Since her appointment to the role of Perinatal Loss midwife, Kristine has streamlined processes and information for staff, enabling them to deliver consistent care and information to families. The outcome is families that feel safe and supported at a vulnerable time. As part of her vision for the perinatal loss service and recognising the importance of acknowledging stillborn babies, Kristine developed and led the creation of a hospital memorial garden. Importantly, the Armadale Hospital community now has a purpose built reflective place for parents experiencing perinatal loss. Congratulations on your achievements Kristine!

    Integrating Services for Holistic Interdisciplinary Care AKG: a WA Health Excellence Award Finalist07 November 2019The Armadale Kalamunda Group Community Rehabilitation Service was recently recognised as a finalist in the 2019 WA Health Excellence Awards for supporting the delivery of timely, holistic interdisciplinary care. The program is helping to improve our patients’ quality of life through collaboration to ensure that they have access to a range of rehabilitation services that best suit their needs. A review of community rehabilitation services in the area found there were issues surrounding access to and integration of services that were impacting on client referral options and continuity of care. The Community Rehabilitation (CR) service delivery model was developed to provide comprehensive assessment and rehabilitation for adults through an inter-professional team (medical, nursing and allied health) coordinated at a single point of referral. A dedicated CR triage officer ensures referrals are appropriate and directed to the most appropriate clinics resulting in the delivery of timel...

    Family Information and Skills Sessions – East Metropolitan Youth Unit: a WA Health Excellence Award Finalist07 November 2019At EMHS we are committed to delivering health care services that are responsive to the needs of the EMHS community, while recognising the value in collaborating with our service providers, consumers, and their loved ones to ensure better health outcomes and recovery-focused care. The East Metropolitan Youth Unit (EMyU) – a 12- bed acute inpatient psychiatric service for young people aged 16-24 – was recently recognised as a finalist in the 2019 WA Health Excellence Awards for supporting families, carers and loved ones to develop the skills and knowledge to assist with the mental health recovery of our young consumers. An important factor in ongoing recovery with a mental illness is the community environment and social network. Families and support people can play an important role in a young person’s mental health recovery. Often during a young person’s first contact with formal mental health services, families, carers and other support people do not always feel...
  • Royal Perth Bentley Group inpatient mental health services team
    Rainbow Standards Tick Achievement – RPBG: WA Health Excellence Award Finalist07 November 2019Recently, the Royal Perth Bentley Group inpatient mental health services were named as a finalist in the 2019 WA Health Excellence Awards for their Rainbow Tick Accreditation achievement – recognising their commitment to delivering safe, inclusive recovery-focussed services that are welcoming and supportive of our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) consumers and staff. LGBTI consumers often experience stigma and discrimination which impact health outcomes due to a fear or reluctance to seek help. Significantly, LGBTI people have poorer mental health and higher rates of suicide than other Australians (source Beyond Blue). Aiming to improve patient outcomes and experiences, a group of committed professionals from Royal Perth Bentley Group (RPBG), supported by Lived Experience representatives (consumer advisory group) from the LGBTI community began working through the Rainbow Tick Quality Improvement Plan standards, to ensure a welcoming, safe and supportive e...
