NOTIFICATION - Temporary closure of hospital drop off / collection area If you are planning to drop off or collect a patient from the hospital, please be aware of the closure of the hospital drop-off zone and provisions for a temporary drop-off / collection area.   Wayfinding and signage improvement St John of God Murdoch Hospital has worked with wayfinding specialists, campus users and consumers to produce a new way of assisting patients and visitors to find their way onto and around the campus.   New Chapel and Foyer Refurbishment Upgrading the Murdoch Foyer and construction of our new Chapel is about to commence, and will be managed in several stages to ensure our patients, visitors, caregivers, medical practitioners and other suppliers maintain access to the hospital. Key features: New Chapel New Patient Administration and expanded patient waiting area New reception desk Expanded foyer area Expanded ambulance and patient drop-off / pick-up area   To enable construction, between May and December 2015, access to various sections of the foyer area and main hospital entrance portico will be restricted. Diversions and signage will be in place to enable safe and easy access to various destinations around the hospital. We appreciate your patience and understanding as this final exciting part of our redevelopment gets underway, renewing and enhancing some key areas of the hospital and creating an even more welcoming environment for patients, visitors, caregivers and medical practitioners.     Ward refurbishment As part of stage 2 of the Murdoch Redevelopment project, the six original 1994 wards located in the hospital’s North Wing are being refurbished. The general finish will mirror the style of the new South Wing wards, with minor alterations to general layouts. We will refurbish one ward at a time, with construction commencing in May 2015. Every step will be taken to avoid noise and vibration during the refurbishment, however as with all construction works some disturbances are possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding during the refurbishments, and we look forward to bringing our original wards up to the same stunning standard as our new South Wing wards.

The first patient was direct transferred via helicopter from another WA hospital to the FSH Intensive Care Unit in April 2015. While the helipad has been operational since February 2015, this is the first time that a patient was transferred directly from a regional hospital to FSH. The patient was transferred from the South West Health Campus, highlighting the extensive capability of the RAC Rescue Helicopter Retrieval Service in the South West of Western Australia. This is an example of the varied use of the helicopter retrieval service that is available to over 90% of Western Australians. The FSH helipad is strategically located above operating theatres, intensive care and the emergency department with special access via a priority lift to ensure patients receive treatment as quickly as possibleWhen you require Fresh Flowers for friends, family, loved one or work colleague that is a patient at St John of God Hosital in Murdoch, we have the perfect solution!
