Dr Kasi has cared for patients in India and the UK, including completing a Hepatology and Liver Transplant Fellowship at the University of Cambridge. She holds Fellowships with both the Royal College of Physicians, UK and the Royal Australian College of Physicians.

She treats all liver conditions, including complex liver diseases, and has presented her expertise at national and international meetings.

Her gastroenterology special interests include:
• Surveillance endoscopy for Barrett’s
• Functional GI disorders
• Coeliac disease
• Complex reflux disease
• General gastroenterology

Dr Kasi was the proud recipient of the Excellence in Patient Care award during her Cambridge Fellowship, and continues to provide patient-centred, high-quality care to this day.

We are delighted to have her caring for patients at Westside Private and North Lakes. Both hospitals offer rapid access endoscopy services, so patients can have their colonoscopy or gastroscopy within 7-14 days, avoiding lengthy wait times.

Please give Dr Kasi a warm welcome! 💚

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 👇

As summer approaches, it’s a great time to check in on your sun safety habits, book a skin check and encourage others to do the same.

Each November, people around the world 🌎 unite to raise awareness and funds for men’s health through Movember - focusing on mental health and su***de prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

Our hospital is proud to support this important cause. Movember isn’t just about growing a moustache it’s about starting conversations that can save lives and reminding one another that it’s okay to talk about health, both physical and mental.

Across our national hospital network, team members are getting involved by growing a mo, hosting events, and spreading awareness. Whether it’s a freshly sprouted moustache, a walk with colleagues, or a chat over coffee ☕ about mental wellbeing, every action makes a difference.

Here’s how you can join in:
〰️ Grow: Sport your mo proudly this Movember.
〰️ Move: Run, walk, cycle, or swim 60km for the 60 men lost to su***de every hour across the globe.
〰️ Host: Bring people together from morning teas to team challenges to spark meaningful conversations.
〰️ Donate: Support a colleague or contribute directly at movember.com.

Together, we can help change the face of men’s health one conversation, one moustache, and one movement at a time 💚

Today, the world’s attention turns to World Sight Day 👁️ – a global initiative dedicated to eye care awareness and equitable access.

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

Protecting your vision can be as simple as:

〰️ Taking regular screen breaks by following the 20-20-20 rule – every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds
〰️ 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.

Take time to love your eyes this World Sight Day 💙. Book an eye test 👓 if your vision has changed, and encourage others to do the same.
