  • Josh Thomas, his wife Sara and kids Jacob and Jordan
    From Perth to Zambia OPH Registrar's volunteer stint 19 June 2020 In January this year, Joshua Thomas Obstetrics and Gynaecology Registrar at OPH travelled to Livingston in Zambia to volunteer at a hospital in need of obstetric work. He shared his experience... Late last year, I received a phone call from a friend who knew of a volunteer district hospital/clinic in Livingstone, Zambia, that was needing obstetric volunteer work for their maternity department. It was based in Maramba district in Livingstone, Zambia, and was predominantly run by midwives with the very occasional volunteer obstetric doctor. Given my previous background of working in high volume obstetrics in Malaysia and having three years of rural experience (in both Australia and Malaysia), I felt it would be very worthwhile to stretch out a helping hand. I got in contact with the volunteer team in Zambia, and after reviewing my credentials and CV, I got offered the volunteer post at Mar...
  • Friends of Osborne Park Hospital volunteers Carole Dalling and Pat Milne ensure staff get their daily coffee fix at "Coffee Corner".
    National Volunteer Week 18-24 May 18 May 2020 The Friends of Osborne Park Hospital (OPH) have unfortunately been off-site during the past few months due to the pandemic. Staff at OPH have really missed their smiling faces and ‘can-do’ attitude where nothing is too much trouble. Fast forward to the beginning of May and the need for our daily coffee fix has been redeemed - two of our lovely volunteers, Pat Milne and Carole Dalling (both qualified baristas), recommenced selling coffee from the “Coffee Corner”. Both volunteers have completed the AHA Hospitality COVID-19 Hygiene Course and are glad to be back making a difference to our staff, patients and visitors to our hospital.
