We were excited to recently welcome 24 aspiring medical students to Westside Private Hospital as part of the Future Doctors Australia program 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

The students were given a special behind-the-scenes look inside an operating theatre, where they learned what really happens before, during and after surgery and just how important teamwork is in delivering safe, high-quality patient care.

Led by Dr Blake Fidock, Orthopaedic Surgeon, the group gained insight into surgical procedures, the sterile theatre environment, and the careful preparation required before any operation begins.

With the support of Bev Owen, Director of Nursing, students also enjoyed a hands-on experience learning how to properly “scrub in”, highlighting the importance of infection control and attention to detail in keeping patients safe.

It was a fantastic opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world experience, and the enthusiasm from the students was wonderful to see.

At Westside Private Hospital, we’re proud to support programs that inspire and educate the next generation of healthcare professionals and help shape the future of medicine 💙

☀️ National Skin Cancer Action Week is a timely reminder for all Australians to protect their skin and prioritise regular skin checks.

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world — yet most cases can be prevented by following the five forms of sun protection:
🧴 Slip on sun-protective clothing
🕶️ Slop on SPF30+ broad-spectrum sunscreen
👒 Slap on a wide-brimmed hat
🌳 Seek shade
🌤️ Slide on sunglasses

The health and well-being of our people and patients is always our highest priority. Across our national hospital network, we continue to provide specialised skin surgery services — including dermatology and Mohs surgery, reconstructive plastic surgery and oculoplastic surgery — to deliver the best clinical and cosmetic outcomes for our patients.

Meet our national network of specialists who offer skin surgery services here 👇

This year’s theme, 💚 encourages everyone to prioritise their eye health — at home, at work, and in everyday life.

〰️ Wearing sunglasses and a hat for UV protection
〰️ Eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3s, vitamins, and minerals to help slow macular degeneration and diabetes-related vision loss
〰️ Quitting smoking
〰️ Wearing safety glasses in hazardous environments
〰️ Scheduling routine eye checks every two years, or more often if you’re at risk

Our hospital is proud to support better eye health by providing high-quality ophthalmic care to our local community.
