  • Madisen Sotirovska pictured with Dr Tom Walwyn at Perth Children's Hospital
    Trailblazing Madisen leads the way in new clinical trial offering hope for children with neurofibromatosis 15 April 2021 A six year old Perth girl, Madisen Sotirovska, has become the first patient in Australia and New Zealand to be enrolled in a new clinical trial offering hope to children diagnosed with neurofibromatosis. Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH) Oncology Department is one of several hospitals across Australia and NZ taking part in the TiNT MEK Inhibitor clinical trial that aims to reduce tumour growth caused by neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that causes several medical conditions including tumour growth, both benign and cancerous, along the nerves in any part of the body. Madisen’s mum, Angela said neurofibromatosis was a difficult condition to live with because of the uncertainly around when tumours might grow and how they might impact on her daughter. “Madisen currently has tumours growing on her thigh and one on the joints outside of her spine which is causing significant pain together with weakness in her left leg,” Mrs Sot...

    Celebrating our nurses: Chelsey Catchpole14 October 2020International Year of the Nurse & Midwife celebrates the invaluable contribution that nurses and midwifes make to global healthcare. At CAHS, we're profiling the diversity of roles and people that make up our nursing services. Meet Chelsey Catchpole. Chelsey is the Staff Development Educator for Ward 5A, CAMHS Inpatient Unit at Perth Children's Hospital. Tell us about your background and how you became a nurse Before I became a nurse, I worked in lots of different roles including as a waitress, retail assistant, health care assistant, working on a sheep station… however while travelling throughout Australia when I was in my 20’s, I decided to stay in Perth and applied as an international student to complete my nursing degree. I am a real 'people person' and love being able to help, so nursing just seemed to fit. I love the variety it brings and the wonderful stories I get to be a part of. What made you want to be in a leadership role? I didn't ever think I would want ...
  • Sarah Cherian
    Three questions about research with Dr Sarah Cherian29 September 2020Dr Sarah Cherian, Clinical Lead of the Refugee Health Service and General Paediatrician, has worked at Perth Children's Hospital and the former Princess Margaret Hospital since 2000. Until recently she was also the Director of Clinical Training in the Department of Postgraduate Medical Education, which she held for more than a decade. Dr Cherian is a proud champion of research into refugee health who said receiving a Telethon Fellowship in 2006 was a pivotal shift in her career and gave her a springboard to transform her research into a PhD. The Telethon Fellowship allowed me to devote one year to dedicated research, but also helped develop my scientific writing and leadership skills, Dr Cherian said. Four years after receiving the Fellowship, Dr Cherian achieved the notable honour of becoming the first candidate to be awarded a PhD in paediatric refugee health in Australia. Dr Cherian said the research skills and knowledge she gained through this Fellowship also shaped her clinical ...
