The new telehealth pod at Brighton Wellness Hub is alleviating the anxiety of visiting the hospital providing a private, soundproof way to see your specialists. 🤫
Manager of Consumer and Community Partnerships, Claire, said the pod was designed to help better connect patients to their scheduled hospital telehealth appointments.
“Anyone receiving care from a Metro North Health facility can access the telehealth pod,” Claire said.
“It can also save the patient time and money, as they don’t need to travel to hospital for appointments or pay for parking.
“While telehealth appointments can be done from home with a phone, computer or iPad, the pod at the Brighton Wellness Hub is perfect for anyone without technology, or who find it more convenient or aren’t tech savvy.” 💻

Are you looking to advance your nursing career in the rapidly emerging field of sleep services? 😴🌛
Clinical Nurse in Respiratory and Sleep, Hong, describes what it`s like to work in Sleep Services - a role where they help people in their day to day lives!
“I think this area is very interesting. Sleep is not just about closing your eyes and dreaming. It’s about the human body recovering and regenerating for the day. It’s highly related to chronic diseases and we need to look after our sleep," she said.
“We need a lot of sleep specialty nurses, so that’s why we are encouraging nurses to continue learning. Our nurses here have a high autonomy in the planning of nursing care."
The RBWH Sleep Services team is looking for a Clinical Nurse who may be interested in expanding their skillset into sleep nursing. If this sounds like you, don`t sleep on this role - check out the link in our bio to apply! 💤👩⚕️ #WorkforusWednesday
It`s Queensland Women`s Week, and nurse Lauren is taking us behind the scenes of her non-traditional nursing role in the Brisbane Watchhouse.
Lauren works closely with her Queensland Police Service colleagues, where she and a close-knit team of Metro North nurses provide care to those in custody.
She tells us how empowering the role is and shows us that being strong can mean being approachable and kind.
"At university I felt community and custodial nursing was overlooked and undervalued, and I thought that if I pursued this, I could make a difference in an area of nursing that is not as well recognised," she said.
"I feel it is very empowering as a woman to work here with your non-traditional patients, and over time I have learned how to build rapport quite quickly with people and being able to do that is a huge win for me.
"I feel even more accomplished when I can contribute to improved health outcomes for a vulnerable population." 🚓🫶
