Step into the TPCH Children’s Emergency Department with nurses Alex and Michelle as they talk you through some of the most common things they see every day. 🚸🏥
Memory changes can be difficult and emotional, impacting not only the individual but also the people closest to them. Our TPCH Memory Clinic is here to help, supporting those experiencing changes in memory. 🧠
Specialists in Geriatric Medicine Dr Benignus and Dr Sarah are part of the team tackling growing dementia rates across Australia, with early assessment of memory issues playing an important role.
“Memory issues can present in simple ways like forgetting to attend appointments or pay bills, getting lost, changes with language, difficulty finding words, or repeating things,” Dr Benignus said.
“Memory issues are not always due to dementia and might be the result of other factors such as mental health, mood, sleep and medications—all of which can affect the brain’s function.
“That’s why early assessment is critical, as it allows people and their families to understand what is happening and plan ahead accordingly, especially if there is a clear diagnosis of early onset dementia."
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 our bio to find out more and apply today! #WorkforusWednesday
