Celebrating 20 years since her heart, double lung and liver transplant at TPCH, Lucinda has not only defied the odds with her health, but she continues to rewrite the record books with every new accomplishment.
Taking hundreds of tablets a week, attending 55 clinical appointments every year and meeting with the transplant team every 12 weeks would be a challenge for most of us, but for Lucinda it`s simply an acknowledgement of the gift of life she was given all those years ago.
"Normal life is the important stuff," shares Lucinda.
"I`ve been really lucky to have all the same people looking after me from the beginning."
"I`m still seeing the same head doctor and the same physio and pharmacists, we`re so close that they feel like family."

“While many of our facilities are closed during the Christmas break, our unique facility, the Residential Transition Care Program (RTCP) continues to run 24/7. At RTCP, allied health, nursing, medical and support staff work with our consumers with the main goal of assisting them to return home or to other services. Our patients come from hospitals after receiving prior assessment. Most of our patients are discharged home, with others going on to other facilities/services and a few transitioning into Residential Aged Care. The Program supports people both in hospital and in their own homes. We have 60 beds which makes us a busy space, but we are a cohesive team who are resilient and use creative ways to think outside the box, because safe supportive discharges is our priority.”
Senior Physiotherapist Kirsti has been leading a very dedicated Physio team at RTCP for 18 months, and recently was celebrated on Allied Health Professionals day for her leadership in Community and Oral Health.
It’s that funny time of year when we aren’t really sure what day it is, but for our wonderful nurses it’s just another day in the festive season! 🫣🎁
While many of us debate if it’s Wednesday or Saturday (it’s actually Sunday FYI!) we do still have appointments running at many facilities, including at the Day Unit Investigation and Therapy Unit at TPCH where NUM Sarah with nurses Lachlan and Stephanie are ‘holding down the fort!’
📲 “If you get a call from No Caller ID and you have an appointment at this time of year, there’s a chance that it could be us calling," shares Sarah.
“We are open across the festive season every day except public holidays for all of your therapies and procedures.”
"If you need to reschedule, we are here to help - let us know if you can`t make it. 🤳
