Clinicians from the Solomon Islands recently visited the Royal Adelaide Hospital to strengthen care for people living with diabetes‑related foot disease in their community.

Pacific Island countries and territories experience some of the highest diabetes rates in the world.

The visitors from the Solomon Islands' National Referral Hospital (NRH), worked with RAH podiatry and vascular teams to build skills in preventing diabetes‑related foot complications through early detection, evidence-based wound care management, and new ways to educate their staff and collaborate with allied health professionals.

Director of Podiatry at Central Adelaide Local Health Network Cathy Loughry says the program, supported by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Interplast ANZ, highlights the value of knowledge‑sharing partnerships.

“Podiatrists play a critical role in preventing and managing diabetes‑related foot disease in Australia, and this knowledge exchange has offered an opportunity to strengthen care delivery in regions where such expertise is not yet available," she says.

Our recent PARTY Program SA (Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth) Program gave students a powerful, real-world insight into the impact of risk-related trauma and the importance of prevention.

Students went behind the scenes, exploring our Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit, taking part in hands-on simulations using real hospital equipment, and seeing our clinical teams in action.

They also heard directly from our Speech Pathology and Physiotherapy teams, gaining valuable insight into careers across health and allied health.

Programs like this play an important role in connecting with young people, supporting education, and helping to build the future healthcare workforce. 💙
