The STARS perioperative team are celebrating the largest month ever for procedural services, clocking up an impressive 1885 patients cared for in October.
Nurses Bree and Kalyca from the perioperative team share some incredible insights into this facility that supports approximately 250 patients a week, on average.
"It truly takes a village, albeit a sterile, highly organised and exceptionally well-trained village, to ensure each procedure is a success," shares Bree.
"Each procedure requires at least ten team members, with many more if the procedure is complex, and we often hear how much the patients appreciate this new facility.
"The team here at STARS are a great village to be a part of!"
👏 Shoutout Saturday to Bree, Kalyca and the entire perioperative team at STARS.

At the time of the last census, over 40,000 people living in Brisbane said they had difficulty speaking English. This means many of our patients who need the ED might have a language barrier and could find it a little daunting!
🗣️ Fortunately a new trial at TPCH has meant that interpreters are available with the click of a button, as a 24/7 on-demand video and phone interpreting service launches.
Multicultural Officer Madi explains how the trial is providing almost immediate access for patients, in a Queensland-first.
“There are more than 200 different languages spoken in Queensland and one in five people in Metro North speak a language other than English,” Madi said.
“This exciting new trial will allow staff to communicate more effectively and provide better care to patients from multicultural backgrounds at the touch of a button.” 📱

The Eat Walk Engage team are celebrating 10 years of service since their humble beginnings at RBWH, with the program now helping thousands of patients in their recovery across the state. 🔟🥳
Program managers Prue, Karen and Margaret have been with the team since its inception in 2015, supporting clinical staff in initiatives that get patients moving, nourished and connected whilst in hospital.
"By listening to our patients talk about their experience and guiding their recovery, we`ve been able to improve our care practices and introduce some pretty exciting initiatives," shares Margaret.
"From music concerts, interactions with Kindy kids, visits from the Delta Dogs and inter-hospital ward challenges, the program that started right here is now internationally recognised.
"We`ve taken our healthcare teams on a journey of improvement, making changes to the physical environment and motivating everyone along the way."
Congratulations to the Eat Walk Engage team on their remarkable 10 years of care! 🎂
