    East Metropolitan Health Service dementia-friendly plans recognised by Dementia Australia 12 July 2019 EMHS has officially been recognised by Dementia Australia as the first metropolitan health service in the country to be a ‘Working Towards Dementia-Friendly Organisation’, a demonstration of our commitment to realising better health outcomes for dementia and delirium patients. Dementia Australia uses the term ‘ working towards’ to emphasise that becoming dementia-friendly is an continual process, one that requires consistent improvement and feedback from people living with dementia, their families and carers. A dementia-friendly health service is one that reviews and improves standards of care on an ongoing basis, and ensures that the services and built environments are accessible to people living with dementia.

    Baby Sophia happy and healthy after CITRA innovation 09 July 2019 Two years ago, East Metropolitan Health Service's Centre for Implant Technology and Retrieval Analysis (CITRA) played an instrumental role in saving the life of a new-born girl. Baby Sophia (pictured left with her siblings) was born with a rare, life threatening condition where her nasal cavity was completely blocked by fused bone. After six surgeries, Sophia is healthy, happy, and able to breathe normally. Moments after Sophia was born, her parents watched as hospital staff called a code blue, and began performing compressions on her chest. Sophia couldn't breathe, and she was placed on a ventilator while doctors searched for an answer. She was born with a complete blockage of the nose, a dangerous condition for infants, who don't breathe through their mouth during the first few months after birth. Sophia was small, even for a newborn, which significantly complicated the surgery require...
  • Jack in the grounds team work room at Kalamunda
    Meet Jack from the Kalamunda Hospital Grounds Team 09 July 2019 Meet Jack, one of the gardeners who care for the grounds of Kalamunda Hospital. When he’s not working on keeping the gardens in shape, Jack likes to get away to enjoy his favourite hobby. “I love winter surfing, and I travel a lot to chase the big waves.” Jack had involvement in a recent landscaping project at Kalamunda Hospital, with the development of a new garden that improves the view from patient rooms, and provides a pleasant space to spend time in. Jack enjoys the kind and collaborative environment at Kalamunda Hospital, where all the staff work together. He’s passionate about the variety of his work, and is dedicated to making the hospital a welcoming place for patients and staff. Thank you Jack and the rest of the team, for the work you do to keep the hospital grounds looking beautiful.

    Karthik creates innovative solutions for patients with complex mobility requirements 05 July 2019 Karthik is a Rehabilitation Engineer working for the Heath Technology Management Unit of EMHS, who provides Assistive Technology solutions for patients with complex mobility and seating requirements.

In addition, he also assists the clinicians with the design and manufacture of complex seating systems using computer aided design and manufacturing processes. “My goal for the next few years would be to further improve my technic...
