A big congratulations to Rob Mundy and Gemma Hadwell, who were announced as our 2026 Rotary Nurse of the Year winners for Sir Charles Gairdner and Osborne Park Hospitals, and Rochelle Pamintuan who received the Lorraine Johnson Preceptor Award.👏

The Rotary Nurse of the Year awards recognise nurses who have demonstrated innovation and excellence in health care by advancing the profession, building partnerships and making a difference in their area of practice.

Nurse Manager Rob was recognised for strengthening teamwork, increasing morale and encouraging a workplace where staff feel valued and respected at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.

Gemma was described as a beacon of light for staff at Osborne Park Hospital, advocating for her team and patients in practical, visible ways.

The Lorraine Johnson Preceptor Award acknowledges a preceptor in healthcare which is an experienced clinician who guides and mentors a newer practitioner through hands-on clinical work.

Rochelle was nominated by her peers for sharing her knowledge and showing a great enthusiasm for teaching the next generation of nurses.

Well done to all involved, including the finalists. 👏

1 game-changing robot. 100 patients cared for. 🎉

Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (SCGH) has reached an impressive 100‑patient milestone with its new robotic bronchoscopy. This groundbreaking technology is helping clinicians diagnose and remove small cancerous nodules in the peripheral lung, where conventional biopsy tools face limitations.

Yesterday, Minister of Health for Medical Research, the Hon Stephen Dawson MLC, visited SCGH to acknowledge the milestone and see firsthand the remarkable work of the teams involved.

The achievement reflects the dedication of our people to identify opportunities to provide high quality care, including the use of evolving technology and precision medicine.

A huge congratulations to all those involved, including our respiratory, surgical, nursing (bronchoscopy and theatre), anaesthesia, cytopathology teams, procurement, radiology and research teams. 👏

The bronchoscopy robot equipment was made possible thanks to funding from the Future Health Research and Innovation Fund and generous donations by the McCusker Charitable Foundation, Charlies Foundation for Research and the Institute for Respiratory Health.

A beautiful surprise for our patients at King Edward Memorial Hospital 💜💐

Flower installations used for the City of Subiaco’s Subi Blooms event, were transformed into Mother’s Day bouquets for our patients to enjoy, bringing colour, kindness and plenty of smiles.

Wrapped in artwork designed by students from Subiaco Primary School and delivered with care, the bouquets were especially meaningful for new parents Zoe and John, who were delighted to receive one alongside baby Otto.

Impact that reaches far beyond NMHS 🌏🤝

King Edward Memorial Hospital Gynaecological Oncologist Associate Professor Emma Allanson has recently returned from Papua New Guinea, where she spent a week providing pro bono, life‑saving cancer care to women and supporting clinicians at the local hospital.

Emma is also mentoring local doctor Robert Jones, who is currently training to become Papua New Guinea’s first gynaecologic oncologist, helping build specialist expertise where it’s needed most.

This was Emma’s sixth visit to the region, supported by North Metropolitan Health Service and delivered in collaboration with the Australian Society of Gynaecologic Oncology and the International Gynaecological Cancer Society Global Fellowship Program.

With a long‑term vision to establish a comprehensive cancer centre at Port Moresby General Hospital, this work is helping improve access to care and survival outcomes for women with gynaecological and breast cancers.
