Today we hosted our Paediatric and Neonatal Symposium, bringing our doctors together to learn from an inspiring lineup of guest speakers — including 2026 Australian of the Year (WA), Dr Daniele Vacchio, Head of Mental Health and Addiction Services at Fiona Stanley Hospital and the founder of Australia’s first publicly funded gaming clinic.

This event followed Friday’s JHC ED Medical Symposium, where clinicians explored a wide range of important topics, from clotting issues in pregnancy to complex cardiac conditions.

At JHC, our doctors are a valued and integral part of our workforce. Educational events like these are just one of the many ways we support their ongoing learning, professional growth, and career ambitions.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in organising the symposiums — and to all who attended and contributed to such vibrant, insightful discussions.

Today is World Prematurity Day, when we celebrate little bubs born premature, like River Jackson, born to parents Caroline and Jammie at 33 weeks gestation, and the dedicated team at JHC who support them, and their families, with skill, warmth and compassion, as our tiny patients take baby steps towards being ready to head home.

A premature baby is one born before 37 weeks and at JHC we can care for bubs born as early as 32 weeks. Our 16-cot Neonatal Unit is staffed around the clock by dedicated and skilled neonatal nurses and paediatricians, with access to neonatologists.

Around one in 10 births worldwide are premature for a range of reasons and while we continue to work towards getting all babies to reach their due date, our Neonatal Unit is here to help all those who can’t.

In celebration of Perioperative Nurses Week (9 – 15 November), a breakfast and jigsaw puzzle competition was held to celebrate the STARS who care for our patients on their surgical journey at JHC.

In an inclusive style typical of our close-knit periop team, it wasn’t just nurses who were recognised. Our STARS include the Scrub nurses, Theatre technicians, Anaesthetic nurses, Recovery nurses and the Support staff.

Thank you to our STARS who work around the clock with our surgeons, proceduralists, and anaesthetists to ensure patients receive a safe and supported surgical experience.
