St Vincent’s Private Hospital Sydney has helped lead a global trial using a tiny heart implant to help prevent stroke as an alternative to blood thinners.

Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the study found the Watchman FLX device delivered similar protection with a lower long-term bleeding risk — potentially offering more patients a one-time procedural option instead of lifelong medication.

St Vincent’s Private Hospital has made Australian medical history, with a patient becoming the first person in the country to receive adaptive deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s Disease.

Diagnosed over a decade ago, the patient experienced tremors, rigidity and difficulty walking. In November 2025, he underwent deep brain stimulation surgery – often described as a “brain pacemaker”.

Now, following a ground-breaking software upgrade, the device can adapt in real time to his brain waves, delivering stimulation only when needed rather than running continuously.

According to his treating neurologist Dr Joel Maamary, adaptive stimulation senses abnormal brain signals and automatically adjusts therapy moment by moment – technology only recently approved for use in Australia.

Today is Earth Day 🌏

A day that reminds us of the importance of protecting our planet and encourages individuals, communities, and organisations to take action towards a more sustainable future.

With more than 1,300 staff - plus our patients, even small changes across our hospital can have a significant impact on reducing our environmental footprint.

Earlier this year, our Food Services team identified opportunities to reduce food wastage by introducing patient mid meal selection. This initiative allows patients to choose their morning and/or afternoon tea at the time of service, helping to minimise uneaten perishable food and reduce waste.

We thank our Food Services team and all staff for embracing this change with enthusiasm and supporting our ongoing commitment to reducing emissions and caring for our environment.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day—particularly to all our employees who call Ireland home!

We kicked off the festivities yesterday with our annual St. Patrick’s Day competition, where judges enjoyed the "luck of the Irish" while navigating the fierce rivalry of our special traditions. From elaborate ward decorations to some impressive dress-ups, the spirit across the hospital was truly "green-tastic."

A huge thank you to everyone who participated and brought so much energy to their departments; you made the day incredibly special for your teams and our patients.
