"Great care and service availability"

About: Karratha Health Campus / Maternity Unit Karratha Health Campus / Medical Imaging Department

(as the patient),

Recently I went into Karratha Health Campus after experiencing some bleeding in my first trimester

All I can say is the staff I saw is amazing and took well care of me. 

Never made me feel invalidated for coming in for being worried.

I felt very at ease in their care and knew I was being looked after.

Scheduled me in for a Ultrasound straight away and ran a few test. 

Dr D was fantastic. Came out talk to me and explained a few things and let me know my baby was healthy and thriving without having to sit in the waiting room for hours waiting for the report.

I know someone has already posted.

I was a bit disappointed that there is no MGP in Karratha. I know it's hard with it being a FIFO town and a lot of people are in and out.

I'm in my first trimester and I believe I know won't get the opportunity to build a relationship with my midwife and I feel I won't know who will assist in delivering my baby. I'm staying positive and hoping that the experience will still go well. But I think it would be a great program to have at the hospital

Dear izartp99,

Thank you for the feedback and taking your time to share this journey on Care Opinion.

There are complexities to establishing such a service however the Maternity Team are currently exploring ways in which care is delivered which are sustainable and safe for the community.

We appreciate the feedback and the Manager of Maternity will be able to pass this on to the staff.

Kind regards,

Liam Avery, Operations Manager, WACHS West Pilbara
