It’s Heart Valve Disease Awareness Week ❤️ At St Vincent's Hospital Sydney, our cardiac team continues to break new ground.

Using a 3D-printed model of a patient’s own heart to practise beforehand, doctors performed a complex valve replacement procedure, all without opening the chest.

The result? A smooth recovery, less time in hospital, and a valve designed to keep working long into the future.

New data from St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney shows serious injuries from e-bikes doubled in 2025 compared to the previous year and jumped 350 per cent since 2023.

The figures only include injuries serious enough to trigger a response from the St Vincent’s trauma team, with presentations for lesser injuries such as scrapes and minor soft tissue damage not included.

St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney’s Director of Trauma, Dr Tony Grabs, said e-bike injuries are more severe than traditional bikes, often involving high-speed collisions with cars or fixed objects.

This World Cancer Day, we pause to honour the lives touched by cancer and the dedication of our staff who care for patients and families every day.

Over 50 years ago, St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney performed Australia’s first adult bone marrow transplant. Led by A/Prof James Biggs, this pioneering procedure grew into a world-leading program, now performing over 80 lifesaving transplants each year.

Thanks to our incredible nurses, doctors, researchers and generous supporters, patients continue to receive innovative treatment and access to cutting-edge research when they need it most.

This ABC News report offers insight into Ya’akov’s incredible journey, alongside the specialised skills and coordinated care required to support healing over time.

The clinicians and researchers recommend using subsidies for healthy foods, taxes and warning labels for particularly unhealthy foods, and restrictions on aggressive marketing of high-calorie, low-fibre products, particularly in low-income communities and to children.

Published in 'Frontiers in Science' they also counter the perception that weight-loss drugs are a panacea for obesity, as they do not address the systemic drivers which also harm the climate.

“Although treatments such as medicines and surgeries offer important therapeutic options for individuals, they won't substitute for tackling our unhealthy, unsustainable food and living environments.”

Jonathan’s journey began at just four years old when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. At the time, his parents were told he wouldn’t live to see 21. Defying those odds, Jonathan entered his 22nd year under the specialist care of St Vincent’s Professor Don Chisolm, and later Professor Jerry Greenfield.

For the past 43 years, Jonathan has travelled six hours off Country to receive care at St Vincent’s. While he was offered treatment closer to home, he says he has never believed he could receive better care anywhere else.

Congratulations Jonathan! 🏅
