  • It took me less than one minute to sign up as an organ and tissue donor
    128 percent increase in organ donation this year so far! 07 May 2022 Donate Life WA (DLWA) has reported that in the first four months of 2022, they have facilitated an increase in organ donations of 128.6% on the same period last year. DonateLife WA coordinates all organ and tissue donor activities across WA. It works with hospitals and hospital-based DonateLife medical and nursing specialists to provide professional donation services and encourage best practice to increase donation rates. The national donation target is 25 donors per million population (this is called the 'dpmp). The population of WA is approximately 2.8 million people so to reach the targeted dmpd, DLWA would need to support 70 donors over the course of the year. With the impressive donation rate in these first four months, the target is looking more and more achievable. This ultimately means that more people than we hope may be given the gift of life. Donate Life State Medical Director...

  • Rhiannon Potiphar
    Aboriginal cadetships getting results 04 May 2022 While studying Paramedicine, Rhiannon Potiphar joined the Aboriginal Cadetship Program, a key NMHS workforce initiative aimed at attracting Aboriginal students into the Department of Health. Rhiannon assisted at KEMH one day a week to begin with, working up to full time when she graduated from university. Rhiannon’s role was to liaise with Aboriginal families who had given birth to pre-term babies in the neonatal intensive care unit and to encourage them to come back for ongoing developmental assessments. “I built a strong network with the parents, the regional child health nurses and local Aboriginal medical services in an effort to connect with families who lived remotely,” said Rhiannon. “This project really allowed me to further my understanding of the complexities and barriers that our mob face when trying to receive health care.” Rhiannon’s time...

    SCGOPHCG Chaplaincy and Easter Services at SCGH 13 April 2022 SCGOPHCG hospitals care for the whole person, not just their physical condition. For many people, emotional and spiritual issues surface while they are in hospital. Life crises such as illness and hospitalisation can raise spiritual questions or issues of meaning and value. Our Chaplaincy and Spiritual Services Department exists to offer compassionate, professional spiritual ministry to all patients, family, support persons and staff during their time at our hospital. Chaplains and Pastoral Assistants provide support through pastoral care, pastoral counselling, and spiritual rituals. You do not have to be a religious person to receive pastoral care. Pastoral Care principles are patient-centred and not religiously based and we strive to provide accompaniment, support and care for all. Australia is a multi-cultural country whose people have different beliefs and spiritual needs. If you are...
