    New garden bench for OPH Indigenous garden 04 May 2020 As part of the OPH Aboriginal Health and Wellbeing Group’s commitment to acknowledging the traditional owners and providing a culturally responsive environment, an Indigenous medicinal garden also known as Anthony’s Place was planted outside K Block in November 2019.

  • WA guide dog and handler
    Visiting assistance animals in NMHS hospitals 29 April 2020 To coincide with International Guide Dog Day, celebrated this year on 29 April, the NMHS hospital network has produced a Visiting Assistance Animals guide (PDF) that recognises the importance of assistance animals and welcomes their use, where appropriate, in our facilities. The Guide provides information about the use of assistance animals in our hospitals and arrangements that may need to be made for patients, visitors and their assistance animal. International Guide Dog Day acknowledges the critical role that guide dogs and assistance animals play in enabling people with impaired vision to get around safely. It’s amazing what a difference four paws, a wet nose and a wagging tail can make in assisting vision impaired people, as well as people with other disabilities, to safely experience freedom and independence. The owners of these extraordinary dogs celebrate their loyalty and ...

This information is used to improve services and to recognise staff and teams who may go above and beyond our patient's expectations. OPH's Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy staff recently received some wonderful feedback from a grateful senior patient via Care Opinion. "I am a senior who has a disability and am reliant on heavy-duty crutches to enable me to be mobile within my home. One broke and a frantic call to CAEP (Community Aids and Equipment Program) OT, Debbie at Osborne Park Hospital started this rescue mission. I believe she sent an urgent email to Dean, Senior Physio, who located another pair of crutches. He asked his staff if anyone could drop them off to me on their way home. Anita then drove, I believe an extra 40 minutes after wo...
