  • Michael nurse recruitment
    Meet Enrolled Nurse Michael 27 June 2025 Osborne Park Hospitals (OPH) enrolled nurse, Michael, recently shared what he loved most about working as an enrolled nurse and what made the North Metropolitan Health Service (NMHS) a great place to work. Michael is passionate advocate for workplaces where you feel like part of a big, supportive family. He said he discovered this environment at NMHS with his nursing journey beginning at Graylands Hospital. “From day one, I felt the camaraderie deeply embedded within the organisation,” Michael said. “It’s more than just working together — it’s building lifelong friendships, which is a natural part of a career within NMHS.” Throughout his journey at NMHS, Michael said he had been wrapped in a blanket of support from doctors and nurses to allied health professionals and health support services. “It’s a true team effort,” he said. ...

  • Dylan and Beau
    Meet IR consultant Dylan and his assistance dog Beau 06 September 2022 NMHS has recently launched a Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Strategy to attract and retain a workforce as diverse as the community we support. This September we are celebrating National Service Dog Month by highlighting Industrial Relations consultant Dylan, who was appropriately matched with Beau soon after joining NMHS. Dylan took the opportunity to talk to his employer about the possibility of bringing an assistance dog to work. "It was a scary thing to raise initially," he said. "I mean it's a health service so part of me hoped they would understand but I knew that being a hospital site it might also make it difficult." "My manager was great and went about finding out all the information we could. "It took about eight weeks for us to get organised because we had to engage and educate the whole team, but they've all been really great." Beau started work with Dylan this week and...
  • OPH nurses holding stroke information
    National Stroke Week 10 August 2022 This week is National Stroke Week (Aug 8-14) and our stroke team at OPH are raising awareness. Do you know the signs of stroke? Every 19 minutes an Australian will have a stroke. In Australia, stroke is the second leading cause of death and a major cause of disability. The degree of damage caused by a stroke depends on the length of time the brain tissue is denied blood supply. Getting help quickly can make all the difference, so learn the signs and make the call! If you suspect a stroke, please call 000 for an ambulance straight away. Know the signs: Face – has their mouth drooped? Arm – can they lift both arms? Speech – are they slurring, can they understand what you are saying? Time – is critical. Call an ambulance straight away. Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital currently treats approximately 1,100 strokes each year and serves as the main compreh...
  • Wild flowers
    Djilba brings relief and hope 01 August 2022 Though it's traditionally the coldest month of the year, August is the month of hope and relief as it leads us into the warmer days of Djilba. Represented by the colour pink for the blossoming newness it brings in September as Kings Park lights up with its burst of floral joy. In Noongar culture, it is marked as the season of conception; probably because there is nowhere better to be during these chilly days than under the covers in a cozy embrace. Nature's finest exhibition begins with buttery creams and the vitalising perfume and hue of sunny wattle before morphing into richer golds and tangerines and culminating in a biennale of magenta, azure and violet. By the time this eruption of colour is in our sight, we will have the warmth of the sun on our face and the promise that the coldest days are behind us. Woodland birds will be nesting so tidings of magpies/koolbardi will be protect...
  • Elly and Stuart and their baby girl
    First ever waterbirth in the OPH maternity unit! 08 July 2022 Meet Elly and Stuart and their beautiful baby girl! They were the centre of a hub of excitement yesterday at WNHS at Osborne Park Hospital when first time mum Elly had the first ever waterbirth in the maternity unit! Water birth is an option that has been available to eligible women at KEMH, in the Family Birth Centre and with our Community Midwifery Program, but with Elly choosing to avoid an epidural she proceeded to use water in the bath to manage her pain. “I wanted to try and avoid an epidural in case it slowed things down and the bath and shower really helped with the pain.” Elly said her midwives were so supportive of her choice to use the bath they suggested she stay there as the labour progressed. “I was blown away by how supportive everyone was of my choices,” she said. “I had friends and family who had birthed here, which is why I chose Os...
  • Amber Jade
    New Modular Ward - Exciting Milestone 29 June 2022 We were delighted to welcome Minister for Health, Amber-Jade Sanderson this week to launch the first of four new modular wards for WA, at our Osborne Park Hospital. The dedicated rehabilitation facility will contain both single and double patient rooms along with a gymnasium, therapy pod, dining room, staff offices and a reception. The ward will officially open on 8 July having taken just over six months to construct and will be used for patients who require rehabilitation following an amputation. The new ward is seamlessly connected to the existing hospital, and with winter well and truly upon us the additional hospital capacity was made possible by modular construction and a fast-tracked approvals process.
