Patients with a range of serious health conditions are now much closer to innovative therapies and medical devices, thanks to a new Clinical Trials Centre at The Prince Charles Hospital. 🔬📝
It’s the first time in Queensland and only the second time in Australia that a centre of this kind has been built within a hospital, rather than as a standalone facility.
Assistant Nursing Director Jenny is excited about the life-changing opportunities the new centre can offer, not only for our patients who want to take part in trials, but also in freeing up hospital capacity to treat acutely unwell people. ✅🙌
“The new centre can offer investigator‑initiated and industry‑sponsored drug and device trials, observational studies and registries,” Jenny said.
“Evidence-based studies give patients access to new opportunities that will improve the health outcomes for patients at TPCH, Metro North Health and across Queensland.”

If you`re looking for inspiration from a master of mind and fitness, Jamie is the guy to keep an eye on! 💪 🙂↕️
Jamie is one of our Security team who has worked at Caboolture Hospital and now at the Satellite Health Centre.
Jamie`s fitness was in his words, below average, and at an age when most people`s health begins to decline, he took it upon himself to turn his attitude to fitness around. The result? Entering into the Masters League competition for over 35-year-olds and being name the fittest in Queensland in the 50+ years category last year. 🏆
"I want simply to help all Metro North Health employees and the public to understand that we @qldhealth, can be more of a positive part in people`s lives with the right attitude," he said.
👏Shoutout Saturday to Jamie for his commitment to health, both personally and professionally.
Rhys was in his early twenties when his touch football game turned into a life-altering emergency. ⚕️⚡
Rhys had a cardiac arrest on the field and only then discovered he had a condition that would eventually require a heart transplant, with his operation making him the 500th recipient at TPCH.
He is now a Community Ambassador for the Prince Charles Hospital Foundation @thecommongoodau and was onsite as they celebrated their 40th anniversary this week. 🎉🙌
"There were so many times when research saved my life," Rhys shares.
"It gets better over time, it`ll go on to save even more - the impact research will have in the future is enormous."
Twins Elizabeth and Elliott were born on Monday, three weeks early - spending their first few days apart before being reunited on the ward yesterday. 💗
Elizabeth went to Special Care for a few days for low blood sugar and low weight, but Mum and Elliott were down to see her every three hours at least!
Keeping the twins together was a key priority for both Mum and the RBWH midwives, who knew how much they wanted to stay close.
"I was so excited to have them both back with me so we can have cuddles all together," Mum said, who can`t wait to take them home to the rest of the family. 💖
Around 2-3 per cent of births in Australia are twins, who have a rare and special connection with each other. 👯
