  • Aboriginal Acute Care Coordination Program team
    WA Health Excellence Award Finalists: Aboriginal Acute Care Coordination Program24 October 2019At EMHS we are committed to supporting cultural diversity, including working collaboratively to improve the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people and communities in WA to improve their healthcare journey. 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. The Aboriginal Acute Care Coordination Program (AACCP) is available when patients are admitted to RPH, registered into the program and are discharged with an acute condition into the Perth metropolitan area or regional Western Australia. The program aims to identify gaps in the Aboriginal patient journey when clients are presenting to hospital with an acute care requirement and are required to return to a follow up outpatient appointment at RPH. The patient journey for Aboriginal people from hospital admission with an acute condition to care in the community after discharge can be difficult to navigate. In the...

  • Photograph of Prof Paul Parizel with Dr Lesley Bennett
    Welcome Professor Paul Parizel01 October 2019We recently welcomed globally lauded radiologist Professor Paul Parizel to East Metropolitan Health Service. Professor Parizel has been appointed as the David Hartley Chair of Radiology and will be based at Royal Perth Hospital (RPH). His appointment follows that of the Michael Lawrence-Brown Chair of Vascular Surgery, Professor Toby Richards, who is based at Fiona Stanley Hospital (FSH), and started late last year. Both Professor Parizel and Professor Richards will perform academic duties at the University of Western Australia and clinical duties at RPH and FSH respectively. Their Chair positions have been made possible due to the royalties from an innovation developed at RPH 20 years ago by Professor Michael Lawrence-Brown, a Vascular Surgeon, and Mr David Hartley, an imaging radiographer. Together, they developed the Endovascular Stentgraft that changed the way surgeons treat diseases of arteries. Dr Parizel is pictured here with RPH Executive Director Dr Lesley Bennett. We ...
