  • Celebrating World Environment Day 2024 21 June 2024 On 5 June 2024, the staff at QEII celebrated World Environment Day 2024 with a theme that resonated deeply with everyone ‘Nurture Our Planet and Yourself.’ During an engaging morning tea, staff members exchanged plant cuttings, symbolising their commitment to nurturing both the environment and their own wellbeing.

This initiative aligns with PathWest’s Strategic Pillar to protect our environment and stands a testament to the collective effort of staff to contribute positively to the environment while enhancing their connection with nature. Special thanks to Microbiology QEII and Immunology QEII for the photos.
  • Clinical Immunologist - Finalist at the 2024 WA Rural Health Excellence Awards 21 June 2024 Congratulations to Dr Dominic Mallon for his recent achievement as a finalist in this year's WA Rural Health Excellence Awards in the Specialist (Non-GP) of the Year category. Reflecting on the importance of caring for rural communities, Dr Mallon shared, 'A sign of a just society is equitable access to health care for all its citizens. Achieving this is particularly challenging in rural and remote Western Australia given our vast size, relatively small population, and pockets of disadvantage or low health literacy. Being able to provide care in a way that is accessible, timely, and reduces inequity for rural and remote patients; and to be recognised by my primary care colleagues as providing an effective service is enormously satisfying.' 'Working in a Laboratory Medicine specialty such as Immunology, I am reliant on patients being able to access diagnostic laboratories from wherever ...
  • HPV self-collection: are YOU ready to support the choice? 20 June 2024 One Test, Two Choices: How empowering your patients can result in more equitable cervical screening More than 70% of cervical cancer cases in Australia occur in people who have never been screened or are overdue, making under-screening the main risk factor. Did you know that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and people with a cervix, as well as those from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds, are among under-screened groups, placing them at an increased risk of cancer? In an effort to address disparities, an Australian Government funded national campaign is set to launch to these audiences in September, promoting the option to self-collect. This campaign , will likely result in an increase in patient demand. Are YOU ready? Self-collection is just as sensitive for the detection of HPV and CIN2+/adenocarcinoma in situ as a clinician-collected sample and can ...
