For the past week Biomedical Technology Services (BTS) at RBWH has been hosting six Australian Defence Force (ADF) electronic technicians, giving them invaluable hands-on experience maintaining the hospital’s 35,000+ medical devices. 🏥🔧
Scott and the five other ADF techs are diving into everything from routine testing to repairs on essential equipment, ensuring Metro North’s healthcare gear remains safe and reliable.
“The processes are similar to the army but working in a clinical environment - especially around patients, was a totally new experience,” Scott said.
The training helps prepare ADF techs to tackle high-pressure situations, whether deployed overseas or managing complex systems in remote locations. 🌏
Baby Lola spent 162 days in RBWH a couple of years ago, after she was born prematurely at 23 weeks, weighing in at just 579g.
Just recently, Lola attended her two-year assessment with the growth and development clinic and is hitting all her milestones! 🏆
"Lola was able to walk into the unit by herself for the first time. It was a very cool moment for us, and the team as well I think," said mum Kristy.
"She is just an amazing little person that has taken all of the challenges in her stride."
"The NICU team at RBWH are the absolute best there is. They got us through the toughest time of our life. We are forever a Royal family."
#ShoutoutSaturday to RBWH NICU team from Lola and her family. ♥
What a gorgeous head of curls Lola. You have come a long way and are such a little warrior. Great to see you go from the tiny dot that you were...to the wonderful girl you are now. I'm sure your doting Mums are so very proud of you. It was great to get to know your beautiful family.

RBWH Renal Department brought a little fun and fitness to the ward last week through the Get Moving, Get Better, Get Home initiative. The program is designed to keep patients active, prevent functional decline, and support them on their road to recovery. 🏃♂️🎾
Clinical Nurse Vanessa shared the importance of days like this for patients.
“Staying active is essential. Getting up and moving not only lifts spirits but makes a real difference in recovery," said Vanessa.
"On 9BS, we’ve transformed rehabilitation into recreation with cricket, quoits, croquet, and more. Patients are loving the chance to get moving, connect, and work toward their goal of getting back home."
For patient Pasquale this means getting home as quickly as possible to take care of his garden.
"I grow tomatoes, eggplant, beans, and cucumbers. Hopefully by getting moving I can get home quicker," he said. 🌱
Love your work Vanessa & team 9BS 🙌 A passion that brings smiles and positivity to so many patients ❤️
Vanessa is absolutely one of a kind and I feel so blessed to have her on our 9BS team 🥰
The nurses on 9BS are incredible. Well done 9BS ❤️❤️
Love your scrubs!
Love your style Vanessa, can’t help but feel up
Can exposure to environmental toxins be linked to Parkinson's disease? RBWH Neurologist Dr Robert explains. 🧠
Parkinson’s disease is the second most common age-related degenerative brain disease, affecting around 1 in 50 people over 60.
Dr Robert says that research shows a growing connection between environmental toxins and an increased risk of developing Parkinson’s.
“Factors like pesticides, metals like manganese, solvents, and organic pollutants could elevate risk for those exposed but pinpointing a single cause is challenging,” he said.
“Most cases arise from a complex interplay of genetics, environmental exposure, and other influences."
