  • International Womens Day
    International Womens Day 08 March 2023 As we celebrate International Women’s Day, we are proud to announce that women hold some of the most senior roles at North Metropolitan Health Services, including (pictured left to right) Dr Jodi Graham, Diane Barr, Tanya Adair, Dr Shirley Bowen, Dr Theresa Marshall and Lara Moltoni.

We have an array of females working in leadership roles across the organisation, each providing high quality services and support to our patients, staff and visitors.

Genetics WA Familial Cancer Registry Manager Lyn Schofield said if a patient has a brain tumour, normally the neurosurgeon would deal with their brain, but there wasn’t any other surveillance happening for other parts of their body.” “It is difficult for patients with a rare disposition to cancer to access surveillance services and we recognised it was essential to establish an Adult Surveillance Clinic to ensure these patients could access appropriate surveillance,” she said. The Adult Surveillance Clinic is a comprehensive clin...
