Are you deep in the trenches with your baby’s sleep and settling? You are not alone!

Making changes to your baby’s routine and trying new settling techniques can be all encompassing.

Some key things to remember:

• Change starts first with you and then your baby.

• Evidence based, gentle sleep management like

Responsive Settling will not negatively affect your baby.

• Consistency and persistence is important. Change is not quick, and it can take you and your baby weeks to learn new skills in settling.

• You need to be kind and patient with both yourself and your baby when making changes.

• Every parent/care-giver will have their own threshold for needing help. We are all different people with different stressors.

If you feel you need support, know that there is support services available like the Ramsay Health Care’s Early Parenting Centres who can support you with sleep and settling, adjustment to parenthood and so much more.

It’s finally happening! You’re in labour! If you are comfortable and planning to manage early labour at home, it's time to check in with your Ramsay hospital to let them know that labour has started.

Your midwife will assess you over the phone, which will help them understand how much your labour has progressed. If you’re reassured that it’s ok to stay at home – swipe to read some strategies, you can implement.

We are pleased to advise our IT teams have successfully restored the servers impacted by the global CrowdStrike network outage, meaning patients can continue to proceed with their upcoming procedures and treatments as planned.

We would like to thank our staff, doctors and patients for their support and understanding as we worked through this outage.

- Important information about network outage -

We are aware of a global network outage impacting many organisations including Ramsay Health Care.

We are assessing the impacts at a local level across our hospitals and health services network to understand which systems are affected and developing contingency plans for patients.

At this stage, we do not know how long the outage will last. During this time, if you have questions regarding current Ramsay patients please contact your local hospital by phone.

We are working to address the situation and appreciate your patience. We will provide further information as the situation changes.

It's Crazy Socks 4 Docs Day – a time to break down the stigma around mental health in doctors and health professionals.

Wearing crazy socks might seem like a small gesture, but it carries a powerful message. It's a reminder that it's okay not to be okay, and that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

So, whether you're wearing neon stripes or polka dots, let's rock those crazy socks raise awareness about mental health in healthcare workers.

On Saturday the Cardiac Rehab Team kicked off National Heart Week by attending the PPH Sponsored Healthy Heart Bowls Tournament at The Village Baxter, Frankston. Jonathan, Michelle and their amazing volunteers conducted nearly 100 healthy heart checks of the bowlers and residents of the Village. This was a great opportunity to engage with the community offering advice on how to look after their hearts.

Last weekend 12 members of the Cardiac Rehab Cycling Team began their 2024 campaign at the Great Ocean Road and Otway Classic Ride. The team, consisting of patients, staff, family and friends took part in events ranging from 60km, 145km and 204km. All members safely crossed the finish line, once again proving that there is life after a cardiac event.

During National Heart Week 2024, we celebrate Ramsay's commitment to empowering individuals to prioritise heart health. Our out-of-hospital teams, like Ramsay Connect and Ramsay Pharmacy, provide essential services such as at-home monitoring and health checks. Ramsay Health Plus offers tailored programs to strengthen heart health through education and exercise. These services all contribute to our continuum of care at Ramsay Health Care.

Today we honour and remember our founder, Paul Ramsay AO, who passed away exactly 10 years ago today. Paul was a philanthropist and iconic figure who helped shape Australia’s healthcare landscape for the better.

So much has changed in 10 years, but one thing that remains the same is Ramsay Health Care’s commitment to people - and this is something that would make Paul proud.

Paul lived by the phrase “people caring for people”. It’s a philosophy we continue to uphold today through looking after our patients, our staff and all our healthcare partners.

As we celebrate Ramsay Health Care’s 60th anniversary in 2024, it’s a chance for us to reflect on Paul’s legacy and pledge to continue to lead in The Ramsay Way for many more years to come.
