Today is National Philanthropy Day, a chance to acknowledge the range of services provided by the nonprofit community across our country. Philanthropy has made a profound impact on the history of the Eye and Ear. Since our humble beginnings over 160 years ago, and right through to today, people have donated generously to the hospital, enabling us to continue our care, treatment and groundbreaking research to prevent and treat vision and hearing loss. Today and every day we are thankful for the impact these individuals have made and continue to make. If you’d like to support the hospital, please get in touch with our Philanthropy and Fundraising team by email to fundraising@eyeandear.org.au or call 1800 808 137.

Today we celebrate World Kindness Day. Below we asked one of our doctors what kindness meant to him, and his response embodies what World Kindness Day is all about.

On #rarecancerawarenessday , we announced we have been working closely with Western and Central Melbourne Integrated Cancer Service (WCMICS) to produce a patient education package on Plaque Brachytherapy, a common treatment for patients with Ocular Melanoma, a rare form of cancer affecting the eye. With the help of Eye and Ear specialists and consumers who have personally undergone this procedure, working with WCMICS and Lifebuoy Video we’ve created a video resource and fact sheet aimed at streamlining the information and alleviating the anxiety around the procedure. View the video resources here: https://bit.ly/3YZcMn2 View the fact sheet here: https://bit.ly/3ACx1he Receiving any type of therapy for cancer can be a daunting experience, but we hope this package can help support future patients on their treatment journey in Victoria and around the world.

Today we remember and honour all who served and sacrificed. The bravery of those who served during times of war and peacekeeping will be remembered. Earlier in the year, we brought you the story of former Eye and Ear ENT surgeon Sir Ernest Edward ‘Weary’ Dunlop. You can read his inspiring story here: https://bit.ly/4aS8gum We thank him and the countless others for their service during times of unrest. We will remember them. #LestWeForget
