What does patient-centred care really look like? Well, for us, it starts with seeing everything through your eyes.

At Vista Day Surgery, did you know that our team is trained by walking through the same steps our patients take from admission to discharge? By experiencing the process firsthand, our staff better understand what you might be feeling and how to support you with care and compassion.

That’s what helps turn understanding into genuinely better care. That's what helps us put your comfort, dignity and privacy first in everything we do.

If you’d like to learn more about how we prepare our team to care for you, give us a call on (08) 8373 1300.

Surgery can bring up a lot of feelings. Add in paperwork and personal questions, and it’s normal to pause and think, “Who’s seeing all this, and why?”

At Vista Day Surgery, we handle your information with the same thoughtfulness we bring to your care. From medical details to everyday concerns, everything you share with us is treated with discretion, respect and genuine care.

Your confidence in us matters. That’s why we’re open about how your information is used and make sure our team is trained to keep it protected at every stage of your visit.

Because peace of mind should come with your treatment.

After many years of calm hands and kind words, Dr Jon Clarke has officially retired!

Jon was never “just” an anaesthetist. He helped shape the culture of Vista from the very beginning. He came in early. He joined every safety huddle. He made time for every question, and he cared deeply about making sure patients and staff felt safe and supported. He brought a love of teaching into every day. Nothing was too small to explain. No one was ever too busy for help. Many of our team, both here and in the public system, still carry lessons they learned from Jon. We already miss his morning ritual of a pot of tea, followed by an espresso.

Now his focus turns to travelling with his wife and discovering cultures far and wide.

Yes, we miss him deeply. But we do not miss the Crocs. They have been ceremonially retired. 😂

Thank you Jon, for everything you gave to Vista Day Surgery and to the people who walk through our doors.

New year, new cover?

Associate Professor Richard Mills completed his final operating list last week, bringing to a close a chapter that has shaped generations of ophthalmologists.

Richard’s career has been grounded in science, teaching and patient care. His research into keratoconus, Fuchs’ dystrophy and corneal transplantation has advanced global understanding of these conditions. He was the first surgeon in South Australia to perform DSEK, helping bring modern corneal techniques to local patients.

He has trained surgeons, guided medical students and shared his knowledge with health workers across Australia. His influence will continue through the many people he has taught and inspired.

Pictured with him in the first slide is Dr Stephen Kinnear, his Anaesthetist, who has supported him throughout his surgical journey for the last 26 years!

💗 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 💗

This year, our Vista team showed their support with pink scrub tops!

Every pink scrub top tells a story of giving, with some sponsored by colleagues and others proudly donated by our doctors. Together, our efforts have raised an impressive contribution for the foundation. 🌸

Breast Cancer is a cause close to many of our hearts, reminding us all to:

💗 Know the signs and symptoms 👀
💗 Do regular self-checks 🤲
💗 Book your screenings 📅

Thank you to everyone who contributed. Together, we’re helping raise awareness, fund research, and support those affected by breast cancer.

Last week, our Vista Day Surgery team came together to mark R U OK? Day. In the operating theatres it was “socks in scrubs,” and across the hospital our team wore R U OK? t-shirts — each one a small reminder of the power in simply asking someone how they’re really going.

We also joined in fundraising efforts to support mental health, because care and connection are things we build together as a community, not just for a single day.

Mental health matters every day. Sometimes, the smallest question “Are you OK?” can open the door to hope, to healing, and even save a life. 💛

Today is R U OK? Day and we’re going all in!

At Vista Day Surgery, we’re proudly supporting R U OK? Day by raising awareness around mental health and the importance of checking in with our patients, our team, and the people we care about.

This year, we’ll be doing our part with fundraising and in-practice activities to spark connection and remind everyone that a simple conversation really can make a big difference.

You don’t need to be an expert to help. Just someone who cares.

💚 Ask the question
💚 Really listen
💚 Be there

Let’s show up for each other. Not just today, but every day.

Too often, women carry the weight of family, work, and community, and their own health slips to the bottom of the list.

Last week’s Women’s Health Week reminded us that women’s health is not optional. It matters. You matter.

At Vista Day Surgery, we’re proud to stand behind this movement. When women say yes to themselves, they build stronger, healthier communities for everyone.

At Vista Day Surgery, your care starts well before you arrive. That’s why we ask all patients to complete our secure online eAdmissions form ahead of their visit.

This form helps our team prepare for your arrival, ensuring we have the correct information to support your procedure and make your experience as comfortable as possible. Please submit your eAdmission form 7 to 14 days before your admission to Vista Day Surgery to ensure a smooth process.

Whether it’s your first time with us or you’ve been here before, eAdmissions is an essential step in your personalised care. It only takes a few minutes to complete, and if you need a hand, our friendly team is always happy to help. Just give us a call on (08) 8373 1300.
