25.01.2022 It's the first day of school holidays for most of us; how are you faring?! Whether you're traversing NSW or simply staying put, do take care out there. COVID-19 is still circulating in the community. It's likely to increase the more people there are moving about our towns, cities and holiday spots. ... By all means relax, but don't relax your social distancing or your hand hygiene. And don't be afraid to pop on a face mask if you can't sustain physical space. Enjoy your holiday in a COVID safe way! @Everett Collection #NSWschoolholidays #safetravels #tourismNSW #princeofwalesprivatehospital

25.01.2022 What an effort! I-MED Radiology Network is supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month this year by donating $4 from every mammogram in October to breast cancer research. I-MED expect to perform 7,500 mammograms this month, so about $30,000 will go towards breast cancer research, awareness and improved treatments for women diagnosed. The I-Med clinic here on Level 7 of Prince of Wales Private Hospital has the latest Hologic Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography unit. It delive...rs the highest quality in breast imaging. Tell your friends about this amazing initiative and help raise awareness for breast cancer. Read more: i-med.com.au/abou/articles-and-news/breast-cancer-awareness

24.01.2022 Summer's coming, folks! @newsouthwaleshealth want us to enjoy the gorgeous weather and fun times ahead SAFELY. When using parks and beaches, here are their top tips:... Keep a towel’s-length (1.5m) between you and other beachgoers. Look for circular markings in parks and respect the space of others. Avoid crowded environments. Limit outdoor gatherings to 20 people. All great additions to the usual COVID practices - hand hygiene, physical distance, mask-use when distance is not possible/hard to maintain, testing even for mild symptoms. Let's make it a safe summer of well-deserved good times! @brontegoodieson #NSWHealth #Covidsafesummer #easternsuburbssydney #easternbeaches #clovellybeach #gordonsbay #coogeebeach #maroubrabeach #malabarbeach #laperousebeach #parksandrec #princeofwalesprivatehospital

24.01.2022 Hey, hey it's Hand Hygiene Day! The importance of hand hygiene to stay healthy has been highlighted over the past year as the world tries to reduce COVID-19 infections....

23.01.2022 This glorious gal is Shelley, our Postnatal Ward Clerk. Shelley supports all the staff and doctors on our Maternity Ward, and is usually at the other end of the phone if you happen to call Postnatal. We're fairly certain Shelley's default setting is 'above-and-beyond,' such is her willingness to help you find a solution.... "I love working with a great team that is always caring and giving support to each other. I'm happy to help and provide customer service with a smile to both patients and partners. I love seeing new parents leave the ward happy and complimenting the staff on a job well done." Thank you Shelley for your kindness and for everything that you do! #healthcarehero #maternityward #alwayssmiling #princeofwalesprivatehospital #powphmaternity

19.01.2022 Who's this lovely lady? Why, it's Karen, one of our star Midwives! Karen's megawatt smile is concealed by a surgical mask these days, but she will still go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and supported. I have been privileged to be with birthing woman for over twenty years. Each birth is so special and precious. I have the best jobbirthday parties everyday.... Thanks Karen, we're so lucky to have you! #midwifelife #healthcareheroes #childbirth #princeofwalesprivatehospital #powphmaternity

18.01.2022 Ring-ring! Ring-ring! If you happen to call our Delivery Suite, there's a good chance our Irene will be on the other end of the phone. Irene is our Delivery Ward Clerk who fields many a call from labouring mums, concerned relatives, busy doctors, and a variety of hospital staff (including one annoying lady who made you pose for this photo!).

18.01.2022 Female Contingency Brain. ABC journo and broadcaster Virginia Trioli believes it just might quash any further hold-ups to the COVID vaccine deployment. "Women are contingency thinkers. We have to have more than one. I've simply never met a woman, in any field, in any kind of life circumstance, who is not operating on the assumption that several of her plans might fall over. So she always has a back-up."...

18.01.2022 Interesting read in Hospital + Healthcare Mag: "Extroverts less likely to comply with COVID-19 regulations." The reason for this might surprise you...

18.01.2022 It's Midwives' Day!!! Did you know that increased investment in midwives could save up to 4.3 million lives every year by averting 67% of maternal deaths, 64% of neonatal deaths, and 65% of stillbirths? To all our midwives who play an essential role in the miracle of life, we say THANK YOU. We recognise your tireless work and contribution to maternal and newborn health in our community.... If you've had a great experience with one of our midwives or maternity nurses, give them a shout-out below! #princeofwalesprivatehospital #powphmaternity #privatehospital #maternityhospital #privatematernity #sydneyhospital #randwick #easternsuburbs #midwivesday2021 #IMD #midwivesmatter #midwivesrock #healthcare #health #childbirth #postnatalcare

17.01.2022 These two! It's Administrative Professionals' Day, and we would like to thank our Executive Office superstars, James and Jackie (L-R), for everything they do for us. Our administrative professionals play a very important role in helping us provide care for our patients. They work both front of house (handling queries from doctors, doctors' practice staff, patients and families), as well as behind the scenes (tirelessly supporting staff and keeping the Hospital operations t...icking along). Our Hospital never stops and neither do these two. Thanks kids, we heart you

15.01.2022 It's Cervical Cancer Week and we asked the incredible A/Prof Rhonda Farrell (Gynaecological Oncologist and Pelvic Surgeon) where we are in eradicating this disease. "Cancer of the cervix (cervical cancer) is the fourth most common cancer in women around the world and causes over 300,000 deaths annually. "Almost all (over 99%) of cases are caused by an infection with human papilloma virus (HPV), a common virus transmitted through sexual contact. In most women and men, HPV is... cleared by the immune system within 1-2 years. "Cervical cancer is therefore a truly preventable disease."

13.01.2022 There’s more to say after R U OK? 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, and it has become even more important for us all to stay connected and seek out support should we need it.

11.01.2022 Our screening process has changed a little...for the better and for the quicker! When you come to Hospital, you can check in using your phone and our unique QR code. One of our friendly screeners, positioned on Levels 5 and 6, will then take your temperature. NB This process is for the Private Hospital only.

11.01.2022 Having a baby is one of the most emotionally-vulnerable times of life. Ahead of World Mental Health Day this Saturday, 10 October, we'd like to urge new and expecting parents (especially mums) to be proactive about their wellbeing. Digital support services, like the Gidget Foundation's Virtual Village, can go a long way towards helping you feel connected and less isolated, particularly in these current times...

10.01.2022 Tomorrow we close out October; a month dedicated to raising awareness for women's cancers. The Cancer Council Australia's annual Pink Ribbon campaign raises funds for breast cancer as well as gynaecological cancers like ovarian, cervical and uterine cancers. Every day, around 65 Australian women are told they have breast or gynaecological cancer, so the work of the Cancer Council has never been more important. ... Dr Vivek Arora, Gynaecologist and Gynaecological Oncologist, treats a variety of women's cancers here at Prince of Wales Private Hospital. He believes it is now time to support women cope with the long-term effects of their experience with cancer. "Gynaecological cancers and their treatment have a long lasting impact on quality of life and can alter the perception of self in a woman. "It is a long journey and women need support in adjusting to the ‘new normal’. It is imperative that treatment options and future research look beyond cure rates and focus on cancer survivorship right at the start of the treatment journey." It's not too late to support Pink Ribbon, with funds raised going towards research to help further understand and fight against cancer. www.cancer.org.au/pink-ribbon

10.01.2022 Check out this haul! Every year our beautiful Paediatrics Nurse Unit Manager, Helen, rallies the troops and collects donations for @thesmithfamilyaus's Toy & Book Christmas Appeal.

It's not too late for you to support The Smith Family in their mission to supply gifts to 32,550 families in need.
