23.01.2022 Tell us what you think about a Purple Book app We are looking for parents of newborn - 4 year olds to tell us what they think of a Purple Book app. All children who are born in WA get a Purple Book to record things like their weight, height and Child Health appointments. We would like to understand if this would be easier to use and access as an app on your phone or device.... The online consultations are being held on 1 December (10.30 - midday, 7pm - 8.30pm) online. You will receive a voucher for taking part.

Thanks to Cerebral Palsy Alliance for funding this project and our research partners at The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, Children's Health Queensland, Syd...ney Children's Hospital, Randwick and Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Adelaide. https://www.cahs.health.wa.gov.au/News/2020//12/CP-research https://www.abc.net.au//healthy-lungs-key-to-help/12873192

20.01.2022 We know our nurses do an amazing job but research is one way our nurses can deliver better ways of caring for our patients in the future. If you have a view about which nursing research projects we should pursue, we’d love you to read on. The views of our young patients, families and community members are important in shaping the research projects we pursue.... Have your say on the top 10 list of research priorities for future paediatric nursing research in WA by completing this short survey: https://redcap.telethonkids.org.au/redcap/surveys/ Photos were taken prior to COVID-19 social distancing

20.01.2022 To make our Aboriginal families feel more welcome on Ward 3B - Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a new piece of Aboriginal art has been revealed. The Aboriginal Health team at PCH organised a yarning session with families to talk about what makes them welcomed in hospital. They agreed on a piece of art and the commissioned result is the amazing 'Rainbow Sunset' by Deborah Bonar-Mills. Deborah Bonar-Mills wrote about her artwork and the meaning behind it:... "In the Dreamtime, Goolarbool the powerful Rainbow Serpent created the rivers, billabongs and waterholes of Gija country and filled them with water containing spirit children. The spirit children changed into animals that lived around the waterholes. Before a child is conceived, a particular animal appears to the father, or sometimes to the mother, in a dream. The spirit child leaves the animal and enters the mother's womb. That animal becomes the child's totem and he or she will have a strong spiritual connection to the animal, the waterhole and the surrounding country that their spirit came from." Mum Jaylynn with baby Torreto by the new artwork on Ward 3B
