New Department of Perinatology
Since St John of God Midland Public and Private Hospitals opened, the departments of paediatrics, midwifery and obstetrics, and gynaecology have been working closely to maintain and advance a first class maternity and newborn service.

Through the understanding of each other’s roles within the team and supporting each other, the level of service achieved by both departments has been excellent.
In recognition of this harmony and to amalgamate forward planning, we have renamed our combined service as the Department of Perinatology. This is a first for Western Australia and one of the first such departments in Australia.
The department will still be led by Heads of Department Dr Preggie Nair, Neonatology, and Dr Chris Griffin, Obstetrics. This new structure ensures the departments will continue working cohesively to deliver the best service to our patients.
