Staff at the Brighton Health Campus are always exploring new technologies and robotic devices to help with orthopaedic rehabilitation and recovery.
Grant, the occupational therapist team leader at the Brighton Health Campus, is flying that robotic flag high, with a focus on helping patients return home and get back to a meaningful life. 🤖
“Robotics are now providing an adjunct to traditional approaches we have used for many years. It enables people to engage in activities or movements they couldn’t do.
“People get used to the upper or lower limb robotic device which gives them more variety in their therapy and is more engaging and helpful for their recovery, especially the orthopaedic games.
“It is very important that we continue to explore options for using robotics in therapy further.” 🫶

Heidi is just one of 11 midwife graduates to have started at Caboolture Hospital this year. 🙌
Caboolture hospital was the first preference for Heidi after completing placement rotations during her studies, experiencing all maternity services offered including pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatal care through group practice midwifery.
“It’s your AOs, your wardies, the cleaners, the doctors, everyone here is so friendly and says hello.
“It’s nice not to be lost in the system and get a very personalised experience as a graduate,” said Heidi. 🥰
Geoff's life changed in an instant when he received a shock diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis four and a half years ago. 🫁
Pulmonary fibrosis is essentially scarring of the lungs and there are many types. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is the term used when the cause of the disease is not known.
Lucky for Geoff, he has been put on a clinical trial at TPCH; with nurse Cathy there for support and education, as they try to slow down the process of this life threatening and complex disease.
"Looking back, I was short of breath for a while, but didn’t realise there was something wrong. I just persevered and pushed through," Geoff said.
"The benefit of being in this trial means I can ring Cathy at any time with any questions I might have. There is no cure, but the hope is to halt it from progressing."
For nurse Bec, getting a spot in the theatre nursing graduate program at Caboolture Hospital was a dream come true. ✨
The competitive program is helping Bec get one step closer to the area she wishes to end up in - anaesthetics.
"I love the one-on-one interaction with the patient. We are the last person they see when they fall asleep, and when they wake up," Bec said .💤
"There is so much to learn about the types of drugs in anaesthetics, its such a specialised area and its where I see myself working long term."
For former RBWH patient Molly, there is plenty to celebrate - not only did she get to meet this year's Australian Idol winner, Royston, but Thursday September 14 marked four years in remission for the 22 year old. 🙌
Molly is a frequent visitor of the Sony YouCan centre at RBWH, a centre for young cancer patients and their families. She even gave a speech about her remarkable story at it's grand opening in 2019.
When Molly heard that Royston, was stopping by for pizza and chats ahead of his performance at the Sony Foundation Australia Brissy4Ward event last week, she was excited to come in and meet the pop star.
"It's so nice that other people are aware of what Sony are doing, and happy to give their time and be part of the community. Not just people with cancer," Molly said. 🥰
