June is Cataract Awareness Month, a timely reminder that cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision loss and affect around half of all Australians over the age of 50. While common, cataracts are highly treatable, with surgery proven to restore sight for most people.

At Cura Day Hospitals Group, cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures across our hospitals. We work closely with leading cataract surgeons and use modern, state‑of‑the‑art equipment to ensure patients receive high‑quality, personalised care.

Our experienced clinical teams support patients at every stage of their cataract surgery journey, prioritising comfort, safety and positive outcomes to help improve quality of life.

If you’re experiencing changes in your vision, we encourage you to arrange an eye examination with your optometrist or GP.

Happy International Nurses Day!

Today, we celebrate the incredible contributions of nurses to healthcare and patient well-being.

At Cura Day Hospitals Group, we’re immensely grateful for our exceptional team of nurses. Your dedication, compassion, and professionalism make a profound difference every single day.

You are the heart of our organisation and the reason our patients feel so well cared for. Thank you for everything you do!

Today, Cura Day Hospitals Group recognises World Hand Hygiene Day, reaffirming our shared commitment to patient safety through simple and effective hand hygiene practices.

This commitment is reinforced through our ongoing Rub In, Rub Out (RIRO) initiative, reminding our teams that clean hands help save lives by preventing the spread of infection through correct hand hygiene.

Consistently following best practice hand hygiene is one of the most effective frontline measures to protect our patients, our colleagues and ourselves from infection.

Building strong habits also means supporting one another by speaking up, welcoming reminders and working together to uphold a culture of safety and accountability.

We are delighted to announce the promotion of Sarah Smith to CEO/Director of Nursing at Canberra Microsurgery.

Since joining Canberra Microsurgery as Director of Nursing, Sarah has demonstrated exceptional leadership, a strong understanding of the facility, and an unwavering commitment to delivering high‑quality patient care. Her dedication and vision have made a significant impact across the team and the broader facility.

In her expanded role, we are confident that Sarah will continue to lead Canberra Microsurgery forward and support its ongoing success and growth.

Please join us in congratulating Sarah on this well‑deserved promotion!

This Falls Awareness Month, we’re raising awareness about falls prevention and supporting those at risk.

After surgery or a procedure, falls can happen more easily due to factors like:
🔹 Poor balance & low blood pressure
🔹 Medications that cause dizziness
🔹 Inactivity during recovery

It’s important to stay safe both in hospital and at home. Simple fall prevention tips, like staying active and creating a safe environment, can help reduce falls and prevent injuries.

Today is World Health Day! At Cura Day Hospitals Group, we’re proud to provide high-quality healthcare services that prioritise patient safety, well-being, and excellence in day surgery.

We are committed to maintaining modern, well-equipped facilities that meet the highest safety standards because we believe a safe environment is essential for both patients and staff. Through continuous improvement and strong clinical governance, we ensure the best possible care for every patient.
