After eight years in the role, our Chief Medical Officer Liz is stepping away, leaving some big shoes to fill!
Dr Liz spent 25 years working her way through the ranks in the Royal Australian Navy before returning to Queensland and commencing at Metro North in April 2017.
She's guided our doctors each day, including leading Metro North through the pandemic - and is now ready to enjoy some travel and focus on specific areas of interest to her such as the disaster and emergency medicine space and plans for the Olympics.
"Everyone here is so welcoming, and we have so many people with a can-do attitude. That really motivates me, working with people that understand the problem and are willing to sit down and work through issues we may face," said Liz, reflecting fondly on her time as CMO.
"Covid really changed the ways we looked at things, some people thought I was mad when talking about doing drive through testing, but it really changed our ability to do virtual and at home care for the better.
"[Metro North] is so large, but the scale and the flexibility is exciting. My advice is to go out and get to know the people from day one. The medical students, the junior doctors, the senior doctors and executives. If you do that, you'll be able to do the most exciting things!"
We congratulate Liz on her next move. 🫶 Think you think you have what it takes to step into the CMO role? Click the link in the comments to find out more and apply today! #WorkforusWednesday

For Caboolture Hospital midwife Alyce, the connection to her workplace goes well beyond her role - having given birth to all three of her children there and been cared for as a patient, by her own colleagues. 🧡
“I was looked after by the people I work alongside every day, which makes it really special,” Alyce said.
“My sister experienced a pregnancy loss 19 years ago and being around that environment made me look towards nursing and midwifery, I knew I wanted to support women through those moments.
“My favourite part is watching first-time parents become a family, I always look at the dad’s reaction too, that’s what really gets me going. Becoming a mother is such a huge transition and every woman’s journey is different."
"My husband and I moved to Bribie to retire in 2008. We love it here; I always wanted to live by the water. Before I started on Dialysis, I used to do ceramics and patchwork quilting, and my husband fished. Nowadays we like to go for drives on sunny days and visit the local shops. We`re both very grateful to have each other, we take life as it comes."

You may not realise it, but in the heart of Spring Hill is a team helping those in the Brisbane CBD who are experiencing homelessness. ❤️🩹
We joined some of our Homeless Health Outreach Team as they shared how they provide mental health support for the community, outside the walls of our hospitals.
