Last week, our surgeons hosted a dinner with local referring doctors in Mount Gambier to thank Dr Tony Spriggins ahead of his retirement in September and recognise his outstanding contribution to orthopaedic care in the region.

The evening also provided an opportunity to introduce Dr Jake Jagiello and Dr Tom Gieroba, who will begin consulting locally and continue providing orthopaedic services for patients across the region.

Thank you, Tony, for your contribution to your patients and the wider Mount Gambier community.

Not your average commute 🦘

Our Home Care Physiotherapist, Kylie Webber, came across a few traffic delays on her way to visit a patient this week.

Kylie travels across Adelaide helping patients recover from surgery, improve mobility and maintain their independence, all from the comfort of their own home.

It's a role that combines clinical expertise, practical support and plenty of adaptability.

Some days that means navigating traffic.
Other days ... it's kangaroos.

Our physios are no strangers to supporting athletes on the international stage… although not always one that’s 10 metres high 😲

sportsmed physio Anita Bruce (pictured far right) recently travelled to Fort Lauderdale with the Australian Diving Team for the Canada and America Cups ahead of the Commonwealth Games.

A fantastic opportunity for Anita, reflecting the hard work and dedication she’s put into supporting athletes at the highest level of their sport.

Safe to say the physio table doesn’t usually come with that much altitude.

Great to welcome the Year 10 students from Cleve Area School back to sportsmed Stepney for the second year in a row 👋

In partnership with Burnside Hospital - Stepney, students toured the Healthcare Hub and heard from our practitioners about the many career pathways available across sportsmed.

Always a pleasure sharing a behind-the-scenes look at healthcare with the next generation.

We said “plastering training”… the team heard “free casts” 👀

Our casual orthopaedic nurse Alannah Matthews recently undertook 1:1 plastering training with Katrina, learning from one of our most experienced orthopaedic nurses, as part of our ongoing focus on developing clinical skills and maintaining high standards of care.

Plenty of volunteers were willing to lend a hand… mainly for the signatures 🖊️
