She's making a list, she's checking it twice, and Dr Hollie knows if the Christmas presents you're buying are naughty or nice! 📝
With tomorrow marking the first day of December, Redcliffe Hospital Emergency Doctor Hollie wants everyone to remember the risks associated with certain toys when shopping for little ones this festive season.
Hollie and her peers will see many kids over the Christmas break, with lots of broken bones and sprains from trampolines, bikes and scooters, through to small objects which are accidentally swallowed or put in ears and noses.
Her message when buying gifts this year is simple - no small parts, and supervise your children when using their new gifts.
"Choose age-appropriate toys and think about who else lives in the home, particularly younger siblings who may put things in their mouths. Review the age recommendations on the packaging and inspect the toy for small removable parts, sharp edges, or poorly secured batteries and wiring. If the toy requires batteries, make sure any spares are stored safely and out of reach," she said.
"If you’re buying bigger items like bikes, scooters, or skateboards, don’t forget to include the proper safety equipment and ensure children are supervised while using them." 🎁 🛴

Helen has some advice to those starting their nursing career - and it`s to build your skills and learning as much as you can!
When she started over 31 years ago, Helen wasn`t aware of the opportunities that lay ahead of her. She began as a junior in the maternity ward at Caboolture Hospital, and now years on, coordinates the new graduates in the very same facility.
"I never thought I`d be a manager," Helen shares.
"I know that the first year out of Uni is so important as you learn to manage shift work, work/life balance and ensure that you have support, both at home and with your work family.
"There are so many more options than working at the patient bedside. If you build your skills and learn, while exploring diverse pathways, you`ll gain so much."
👏 Shoutout Saturday to Helen in Nursing Workforce team, for her decades of service to the Caboolture Hospital and community.
Some of the patient-focussed programs at TPCH are not only bringing our patient`s voices to the decision makers but winning awards along the way! 🏆
The Connection and Kinship program looks to connect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and families in the paediatric space with clinicians, to hear their voices and support health equity.
Uncle David, Caroline and Leesa recently met with the award-winning Cultural Capability team, to yarn about their experiences. 💬
"We`re happy to have a chance to have our son now being treated through TPCH paediatrics," Uncle David shares.
"It`s important to have a voice and to be able to talk about things that affects us."
