Introducing Matt, our art therapist here at Mitcham Private Hospital 👋

Art therapy is an important element of our mental health service, helping people express their emotions, reduce anxiety and improve their general wellbeing.

Matt has been at Mitcham for 1.5 years, and loves his role as part of the allied health team.

He says the most rewarding thing about his job is "witnessing clients express their inner life and lived experience".

Introducing Alana, one of our physiotherapists here at Mitcham Private Hospital, as we continue celebrating Allied Health Professionals Day! 🎉

Alana (pictured centre) was inspired to work in allied health because of her own experience with sporting injuries when she was younger, and she wanted to help others in a similar position.

She says the proudest moment of her career was having her research article published in an academic journal - a huge achievement!

Her favourite part of her job is "helping people achieve their goals and return to the activities that bring them joy".

We are very grateful to have Alana as part of our team here at Mitcham.

As we celebrate Allied Health Professionals Day, we're recognising some of the wonderful members of our team here at Mitcham Private Hospital.

Meet Maria - for the past six years, she's been working as a physiotherapist across both Mitcham and Donvale Rehabilitation Hospital.

She says she was inspired to become a physio because she wanted to help people and make a difference in their quality of life.

"My proudest achievement in my career would have to be building strong relationships with my patients that I have treated multiple times over the course of many years and having them still remember our interaction years later.

"This is special as it shows me that what we do truly makes a difference to our patients' lives and it’s great to be able to offer the continuity of care through these relationships."

Her favourite part about her job is the variety she gets in her week.

"My week consists of working with acute orthopaedic post-op patients, running a postnatal information physio class, running an exercise group on the mental health ward, and helping rehabilitate outpatients with a number of different diagnoses."

Thank you to Maria and to all the members of our allied health team for your dedication to supporting our patients.

Welcome to a day in the life of physiotherapist Helen Lewis, who's been working here at Mitcham Private Hospital for almost 20 years!

"My favourite part of my job is seeing patients who are scared of particular activities they need to do to get home, such as getting out of bed or going up and down stairs, gain confidence and get to leave hospital safely.

"I also love talking about topics that most people are too embarrassed to even think about, from having a baby and other gynaecological operations, to decreasing stigma around bladder and bowels to help people get back to sport and other everyday activities.

"My proudest achievement as a physio is seeing new graduates, and even fellow physios, get excited about the human body, and what we can do as physios to help people, both through my tutoring at university, and mentoring with other physios. I love continuing to learn myself, and supporting my colleagues in this."

After 18 years working in oncology and general nursing, Margaret decided to make a change in her career, inspired by time she spent helping a family member with a mental health condition.

Margaret has now spent the last nine years working in our mental health unit here at Mitcham Private Hospital.

As an advanced enrolled nurse who has worked in both adult and perinatal mental health, her favourite part of her job is "seeing patients recover and leave hospital after making great progress and moving on with their life."

"I also enjoy providing outreach to our discharged patients."

This , we say thank you to all our wonderful team members who, like Margaret, dedicate their days to providing mental health support.

For psychologist Melissa Rugbur, making a difference in her patients' lives, from the big breakthroughs to the smallest of gains, is why she loves what she does.

Melissa has been with us here at Mitcham Private Hospital for a year, where she has focused on trauma-informed care for adolescents and young adults in our mental health unit.

Her favourite part about working here at Mitcham? "The team environment and different skills from other clinicians that inform and develop my unique style of care."

"With Mitcham offering 21 beds, it provides a community and inclusive environment that fosters a holistic and caring approach."

Melissa is also looking forward to expanding her skillset with an upcoming training course for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy.

We want to extend our gratitude to a beautiful local family, who have donated a Cuddle Cot to Mitcham Private Hospital in memory of their baby boy.

After experiencing the loss of their son during pregnancy, and while navigating their own grief, they raised $6,500 for a Cuddle Cot through Bears Of Hope Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support to provide support for other parents experiencing loss.

A Cuddle Cot is a temperature-controlled cooling bassinet that allows parents to spend meaningful time with their baby after death, supporting compassionate bereavement care.

"It was such a beautiful morning," said the family. "And the perfect way to honour our little boy."
