    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...
  • Kristine Tetlaw
    Caring for families experiencing perinatal loss– AKG: a WA Health Excellence Award Finalist 07 November 2019 Armadale 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 y...
  • The Armadale Kalamunda Group Community Rehabilitation Service
    Integrating Services for Holistic Interdisciplinary Care AKG: a WA Health Excellence Award Finalist 07 November 2019 The 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 refer...
  • The EMyU Family Information and Skills Sessions team
    Family Information and Skills Sessions – East Metropolitan Youth Unit: a WA Health Excellence Award Finalist 07 November 2019 At 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 cont...
  • Royal Perth Bentley Group inpatient mental health services team
    Rainbow Standards Tick Achievement – RPBG: WA Health Excellence Award Finalist 07 November 2019 Recently, 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 throu...
