  • Diabetes team at SCGOPHCG
    It's National Diabetes Week 15 July 2021 National Diabetes Week is this year celebrating one hundred years since the discovery of insulin (external site) by a team of scientists at the University of Toronto, a finding that saved millions of lives. Prior to this, diabetes was ‘managed’ with fasting and severe calorie restricted diets and was considered a fatal condition, usually causing death within a few months of diagnosis. Following the discovery by Sir Frederick G Banting, Charles Best and John MacLeod at the University of Toronto in 1921, 14-year-old Leonard Thompson became the first person to receive an injection of insulin. With some early adjustments, Leonard lived for another 13 years with insulin therapy. “Since 1921, insulin has since saved millions of lives and is considered to be one the greatest medical achievements of all time,” said Sandra Wilberforce, Clinical Nurse Consultant – Dia...
  • Melinda Leeder, Coordinator Pharmacy
    Shared care dispensing pilot at OPH 07 July 2021 An exciting new Sir Charles Gairdner Osborne Park Health Care Group (SCGOPHCG) shared care dispensing (SCD) initiative is now being trialled at our Osborne Park Hospital (OPH) Pharmacy. The initiative aims to make accessing medications easier for outpatients of Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (SCGH), by allowing those outpatients who meet certain criteria to collect their medications at either SCGH or OPH. Melinda Leeder, Coordinator Pharmacy said patients have the option to access their medication from the hospital pharmacy that is preferable, based on their own personal circumstances, which may include being closer to home or easier to access via public transport. “OPH is considerably closer for many SCGH clinic patients who live in the northern suburbs and parking is currently free and plentiful at OPH,” Melinda said. This trial program will run until November 2021 and is sp...

The moving artwork is titled ‘Djirip Djirip Koolangaar’ translated into ‘Very happy child’ and will brighten the walls of the obstetric unit, giving women a happy, and heartfelt piece of art to admire. Rhy, a proud Wudjuk Noongar country man, graduated the Academy of Performing Arts (Aboriginal Theatre) and has developed a keen interest for storytelling on stage. His ‘Very happy child’ piece certainly does a wonderful job of storytelling to our women and their families about the strength of connection, love and culture. A huge thank you to Rhys for his kind donation, we feel privileged to receive such a stunning piece of art.
  • Clinical Facilitators Valerie Malone, Tash King and Jacqui Wong
    Undergraduate clinical facilitators support students at OPH 16 June 2021 Nursing students at Osborne Park Hospital are receiving more hands-on educational and clinical support following the introduction of undergraduate clinical facilitator roles in March this year. The One Focus Model of ward-specific clinical facilitators was adopted following the successful implementation of the 2015 pilot program at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. Under this model, clinical facilitators are allocated to designated wards (usually their substantive wards) and work alongside students and their preceptors to support the students’ practical placement. The facilitators aim to improve the management and support of students by undertaking a hands-on approach with early intervention strategies to achieve better outcomes for students and decrease pressures on ward staff. With 13 clinical facilitators placed in all clinical areas at OPH, in addition to 75 clinical facilitat...
