Having a procedure at this time of year might be overwhelming for your child, but that added layer of missing out on Christmas at home is something Lucy is here to help with. 😬
Child Life Therapist Lucy will be at Caboolture over the festive period, talking with children, their parents and siblings around having procedures, providing preparation, comfort and distraction if it's required as part of her role.
"It can be quite overwhelming for children walking into a clinical environment, and Christmas time adds that extra layer of anxiety," says Lucy.
"My job is to provide play opportunities as well as to help make families' hospital experience a more understood process and reduce the stress of the unknown."
🤗👐 If you happen to find yourself at Caboolture Hospital for your child this festive season, remember that friendly faces like Lucy's are always here to lend a hand.

While working at the front desk of the Intensive Care Unit at RBWH, Glenn has seen the broad range of human emotions and knows the challenges that an ICU stay brings to loved ones. 💝
Since starting nearly two years ago, Glenn has greeted 80-100 visitors each day and shares some tips for those who find themselves in the unfortunate situation at Christmas time.
"Families tend to come in big groups on days one, two and three when their loved one is in Intensive Care," shares Glenn.
"I like to reassure them that their family member is in the best place they can possibly be, with the best doctors and nurses who need time, space and room to attend to the patient`s high needs."
"As concierge, my role is to maintain the balance between visiting loved ones and caring for themselves, because their role will continue on after the patient leaves. They’re in it for the long haul so need to be taking care of themselves outside of hospital too." ⚖️💖
👏 Thank you for all that you do for the clinical teams and loves ones of the ICU patients, Glenn.
If you`re a Caboolture-local expecting a new baby under the Christmas tree this year, there`s a high chance that Deb, Di and Steph from the Caboolture Maternity Unit could be helping you through your journey this silly season. 👶🧑🎄
Deb and the whole Maternity team share how the smaller-sized hospital can give families extra opportunities when having their baby a little closer to home.
"This is a unique space where all of our midwives are skilled in multiple areas," shares Deb.
"Having five maternity service areas and three MGP teams within the hospital means there`s continuity of care, and our midwives often see our families a number of times throughout their pregnancy, birth and post-natal period."
Could you be Caboolture`s new MUM? (Maternity Unit Manager) We`re on the hunt for someone to fill this role, whose specialised clinical expertise can further enhance the team. Check out the vacancy via Smart Jobs or in the comments below 👇
With the excitement of Christmas Day looming, some of our talented STARS patients took the opportunity during their rehabilitation sessions to craft some tasty Christmassy creations! 🎄🏡
Advanced Occupational Therapist Erin shares the joy that such a simple task like decorating food can bring.
“Meal preparation and baking is a great therapy tool to progress a variety of rehabilitation goals, “ Erin shares.
“It is particularly meaningful at Christmas when patients can help create food to share with family and friends at a time when they feel the weight of hospitalisation and absence from home.”
We hope our Christmas STARS have put you in a festive mood. 😍
