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 💙

Celebrating 25 Years of Care at Pacific Private Hospital (2000–2025) 🎉

This year marks a significant milestone for Pacific Private Hospital, which celebrates 25 years since opening its doors in 2000. For a quarter of a century, the hospital has been honoured to serve the Gold Coast community in QLD, supporting thousands of patients and families with safe, compassionate and high-quality care.

From its beginnings as a boutique private hospital to today’s expanded facility, Pacific Private Hospital has remained committed to delivering personalised, patient-centred care in a warm and welcoming environment. Over the years, the team has cared for countless individuals, from routine procedures to complex surgeries, always with the professionalism and kindness that define our Nexus values.

In 2024, Pacific Private Hospital underwent a major transformation under the guidance of the wider group, Nexus Hospitals, expanding its facility with two additional operating theatres and eight additional inpatient beds to help meet the growing needs of the community.

As part of our ongoing commitment to excellence, Pacific Private Hospital is also proud to announce the launch of its new ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) program in late 2025. This state-of-the-art, evidence-based perioperative care pathway is designed to help surgical patients recover faster, experience fewer complications, reduce pain, return to normal activity sooner and benefit from shorter hospital stays overall.

ERAS represents a new era in patient care at Pacific Private Hospital. By combining modern surgical practice with coordinated care across all stages pre-surgery, in theatre, post-operative and beyond, the hospital aims to make every patient journey smoother and safer.

To past, present and future patients, to the dedicated employees, Vising Medical Officers, and to the community that has supported Pacific Private Hospital for 25 years: thank you. Here’s to continuing a legacy of excellence, and to many more years of health, healing and compassionate care.

A Huge Milestone for Eye Health in South Australia! 👁️✨

Please join us in congratulating Dr Simon Phipps, specialist Cataract & Glaucoma surgeon and Consultant Ophthalmologist, on reaching an incredible achievement - the successful implantation of his 100th MINIject device! 🙌💚

Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” and is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. With 1 in 50 Australians developing glaucoma in their lifetime and half not even knowing they have it, innovative treatments like MINIject can be life-changing.

Developed by iSTAR Medical, MINIject is a soft, flexible silicone implant designed to safely lower eye pressure by enhancing the eye’s natural drainage. Results presented at the 2025 World Glaucoma Congress showed impressive long-term pressure reduction and decreased reliance on medications lasting up to five years post-surgery.

Since its Australian launch in late 2023, Dr Phipps has been at the forefront of this innovation. He is currently the only certified MINIject surgeon in South Australia, offering this minimally invasive procedure at both Tennyson Centre Day Hospital and Port Pirie Hospital.

Here’s what Dr Phipps had to say about this milestone:
💬 “MINIject gives my patients the opportunity to effectively lower their eye pressure and medication use with minimally invasive surgery. They recover faster and experience fewer complications than with traditional glaucoma surgery, so I’m pleased to be able to offer MINIject to my patients.”

👏 Congratulations again, Dr Phipps and thank you for your continued dedication to protecting the sight of South Australians.

Albany Day Hospital hosts Vascular GP Education Evening to launch new Varicose Vein Treatment Service

Recently, Albany Day Hospital welcomed GPs and emergency doctors from across the Great Southern region for an engaging vascular education evening led by Dr Mahmoud Al-Najjar, consultant vascular and endovascular surgeon.

Dr Al-Najjar, who holds dual fellowships in rural generalist and vascular surgery, shared valuable insights on the early detection of peripheral arterial disease, venous insufficiency, and minimally invasive treatments now available locally at Albany Day Hospital.

His presentation emphasised the importance of timely referrals and collaborative care, particularly in regional areas where access to advanced diagnostics can be limited.

Attendees were especially interested in case studies showing how local access to vascular procedures can spare patients the cost and disruption of travelling to Perth. Dr Al-Najjar also outlined referral pathways and imaging protocols to make specialist input even more efficient.

The evening concluded with a Q&A and networking session, reinforcing Nexus Hospitals’ commitment to continuing education and multidisciplinary collaboration.

“Our facility has enabled specialist practitioners like Dr Al-Najjar and others across surgical and procedural disciplines to expand their private practice from Perth to Albany,” said Martlie Horn, General Manager/Director of Nursing at Albany Day Hospital.

“For patients in the Great Southern, the establishment of local venous services has been a game changer, significantly reducing wait times and eliminating the need to travel for many procedures.”

This event comes at a time when Albany’s healthcare options continue to improve. Opened in 2019, Albany Day Hospital continues to play a pivotal role in expanding specialist-led healthcare services for the Great Southern community.

🧡 World Patient Safety Day – Teamwork in Action

Today is World Patient Safety Day, and at our hospital we’re highlighting the importance of surgical safety through the power of teamwork.

A key part of this is Team Time Out – a brief pause before surgery where the team confirms the patient’s identity, the procedure, and the surgical site. This critical step which forms part of the World Health Organisation’s Surgical Safety Checklist enhances communication, prevents errors, and keeps patient safety front of mind.

This July marked the fifth year of Time Out audits across our hospital network, and it was our biggest and best yet! Every one of our 22 hospitals participated, with 462 doctors audited by Nexus Hospitals nursing champions – the highest level of engagement to date – further strengthening the compliance and collaboration across our theatres.

A huge thank you to our doctors and employees who made this year such a success, and our Chief Medical Officer Anthony Chambers for leading this important initiative. Patient safety starts with our teams around the table and together we’re making every check count.

💛 Today is R U OK? Day 💛

Caring for people is at the heart of everything we do not just for our patients, but for each other.

R U OK? Day is an important reminder to check in with the people around us. A simple, genuine “Are you okay?” can open the door to a conversation that makes all the difference.

In healthcare, we’re often busy giving our best to others, and it’s easy to miss the small signs that a colleague or friend might be struggling. You don’t need to have all the answers - just being present, listening without judgment, and encouraging support can truly help.

We encourage everyone today, and every day, to:
✔️ Check in with someone you care about
✔️ Listen with empathy
✔️ Encourage seeking help when needed
✔️ Take time to look after your own wellbeing too

Our hospital is committed to building a culture of kindness, compassion, and connection. Thank you to our incredible team for all that you do not just today, but every day.

Let's keep the conversations going. 💛
