If you’re looking for a great gravy recipe, you can be inspired by Paul Kelly on Gravy Day, or take a leaf from culinary cooking champions from STARS Food Services 🍽️🏆

Rajesh and Stephanie are adding a festive feeling to their gravy this year, having been declared the 2025 Winners of the Hospitality in Healthcare Culinary Competition held in Melbourne.

Their standout dish of crispy duck breast with a very special gastrique (a type of French pouring sauce), makes them champions both in competition and for the patients enjoying meals from them and their Food Services teammates.

Both Rajesh and Steph agreed with Paul Kelly when he said that a good gravy should include a dollop of tomato sauce for sweetness and that extra tang.

👏 Congratulations to Rajesh and Stephanie, and thanks for the gravy.

Santa is coming! Can your child hear the sleigh bells ringing?!!! 🔔⁉️
 
Clinical audiologist Heidi and the Audiology team are like Santa's elves, working hard and providing a range of diagnostic tests for infants and children.
 
"Hearing is really important for children to be able to develop normal speech and language skills, and finding hearing loss early helps children reach their full potential," Heidi says. 

"A referral from your GP is all that we need if you are worried about your child’s hearing or speech and language development.
 
"As someone with a genetic hearing loss who wears hearing aids, I know first-hand the importance of early detection and management of hearing loss.” 
 
📃 The paediatric audiology team at Caboolture Hospital encourage you to put an audiology referral on the Christmas list for your child if they need it, to make sure they can hear Santa coming! 👂

As business and family activities start to ramp up towards the end of the year, so too does the team at Virtual Emergency Care Service (VECS), ensuring that families have a safe way to get emergency care by video call if their illness or injury isn't life threatening. 🤕

Medical Director Kim and team members Jess and Kesha know that the silly season means some services are closed, but VECS are here to support when you need it most; and will be open if you need remote help every day from 8am to 10pm including public holidays.

"We’re a great resource to touch base with if you’re unsure if you need an emergency department or not and can make sure you get the specialist emergency care you need," Kim says.

"The community can be assured that there is always medical support for them no matter what day it is or where they are in Queensland."

👉 People who need immediate care for conditions that aren't life threatening can access virtual care via the link in the comments below 👇
