MDNS President Jessie Henderson described the hospital as “a new expression of an old need”.

Monday, 24 September 1945 – 80 years ago today – Queensland Governor Sir Leslie Orme Wilson officially opened the Kenmore Repatriation Sanatorium on the site of what is now Bolton Clarke Fairview, Pinjarra Hills. The first 12 veteran patients had been in residence in August under the watchful eyes of medical superintendent Dr George Cherry and Matron Viola Everett from the 112 Australian General Base Hospital. The sanatorium was founded to support ex-service personnel suffering from tuberculosis and continued to serve the veteran community until its closure in 1994.

A very big Aged Care Employee Day thank you to all the Bolton Clarke teams for 140 years of caring.

It's National Diabetes Week this week and to mark the occasion, Bolton Clarke Research Institute Senior Research Fellow Dr Rajna Ogrin has been chatting with Diabetes Victoria about foot health.
If you have diabetes, taking care of your feet is really important. High blood sugar can affect your nerves and blood flow, which means you might not feel injuries and they may take longer to heal. This can lead to serious problems like ulcers or even amputations—but the good news is most of these can be prevented!
Top tips for keeping your feet healthy include:
* Check your feet every day – Look for cuts, blisters, redness, or swelling. Use a mirror or ask someone to help if you can’t see well.
* Wash and dry your feet daily – Especially between your toes. Keep your skin soft with moisturiser (but not between the toes).
* Trim your nails carefully – Or ask a podiatrist to help.
* Wear comfortable shoes and socks – Avoid tight shoes or seams that rub.
* Never walk barefoot – Even at home.
* See a podiatrist regularly – They can spot problems early and help you manage them.
* Get help quickly – If you notice anything unusual, don’t wait.

Europa on Alma by Bolton Clarke

Our name Bolton Clarke honours two key community leaders from our past whose values have shaped our organisation and still drive its purpose today.

William Bolton, a Lieutenant Colonel at Gallipoli and Cape Helles, was the first president of the Returned Sailors and Soldiers Imperial League (later to become RSL) in 1916. He saw an urgent need and responded by providing support and rehabilitation for those who had served their nation so selflessly.

Lady Janet Clarke was a much-loved philanthropist who used her means and influence to improve the lives of those less fortunate in the rapidly expanding city of Melbourne. In 1889 she became president of the Melbourne District Nursing Society, a forerunner of the Royal District Nursing Service (RDNS), and remained a driving force in over two decades of service.

Our name reminds us of a combined 200 years of experience, and the energy and passion that continues to inspire and guide our work today.
