A splash of colour, a bit of fun, and plenty of smiles, our team loves swapping their usual scrubs for something a little brighter on Fridays. It’s a small lift that makes a big difference for both patients and staff alike

Bowel Cancer Awareness Month
Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in Australia, but the good news is it’s often preventable and highly treatable when found early.

This month is a reminder to know the signs and take action:

KNOW THE SIGNS

Blood in your poo or bleeding from the back passage
Ongoing changes in bowel habits (diarrhoea or constipation)
Abdominal pain, bloating or unexplained weight loss
Fatigue or weakness (possible anaemia)

SCREEN REGULARLY

Free home screening is available for Australians aged 45–74 every 2 years
The simple at-home test can detect early signs before symptoms appear

REDUCE YOUR RISK

Stay active and maintain a healthy weight
Eat more fibre, wholegrains, fruit and vegetables
Limit red and processed meats
Cut back on alcohol and avoid smoking

Early detection saves lives—over 90% of cases can be successfully treated when found early.

As always, if something doesn’t feel right, talk to your GP.

A year can feel like a long time in a hospital, but somehow it also passes in the blink of an eye.
Our 2025 Annual Report is hot off the press, showcasing the achievements, milestones and moments that made the past year so meaningful.
We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished together.

What have you been up to? Or more to the point, what have your hands been up to?

Winter is here, and so are the germs!
Cold and flu viruses spread more easily in cooler months, making good hand hygiene more important than ever.
Washing your hands regularly is one of the simplest ways to protect yourself and others.
A quick wash can make a big difference in keeping our patients, visitors and staff safe and well this winter.

Vale Pauline.

We are saddened at the news of the death of Pauline Glover, Flinders Private Hospital Volunteer and Consumer Representative. Pauline has been a much loved and respected member of our hospital and the broader nursing and midwifery community in South Australia. Her legacy as an educator, champion and advocate for patients and nursing community alike, will continue. She will be missed.
