If you`re a Caboolture-local expecting a new baby under the Christmas tree this year, there`s a high chance that Deb, Di and Steph from the Caboolture Maternity Unit could be helping you through your journey this silly season. 👶🧑🎄
Deb and the whole Maternity team share how the smaller-sized hospital can give families extra opportunities when having their baby a little closer to home.
"This is a unique space where all of our midwives are skilled in multiple areas," shares Deb.
"Having five maternity service areas and three MGP teams within the hospital means there`s continuity of care, and our midwives often see our families a number of times throughout their pregnancy, birth and post-natal period."
Could you be Caboolture`s new MUM? (Maternity Unit Manager) We`re on the hunt for someone to fill this role, whose specialised clinical expertise can further enhance the team. Check out the vacancy via Smart Jobs or in the comments below 👇
With the excitement of Christmas Day looming, some of our talented STARS patients took the opportunity during their rehabilitation sessions to craft some tasty Christmassy creations! 🎄🏡
Advanced Occupational Therapist Erin shares the joy that such a simple task like decorating food can bring.
“Meal preparation and baking is a great therapy tool to progress a variety of rehabilitation goals, “ Erin shares.
“It is particularly meaningful at Christmas when patients can help create food to share with family and friends at a time when they feel the weight of hospitalisation and absence from home.”
We hope our Christmas STARS have put you in a festive mood. 😍
"I was an assistant in nursing for 40 years, working in aged care, dementia wards, hostel and general nursing units. We’d like to pass on our thanks and accolades to the public health system; we know people get frustrated that there’s an element of waiting, but we’ve both greatly benefitted from the services. We’re not sure what Christmas looks like this year, I`m looking forward to getting better and am happy to close the door on 2025. Just last week we became great-grandparents for the first time to a lovely little boy. We can’t wait to meet him very soon."

Hayley, Brett and Kirsten love riding their e-scooters as much as you do, but they know how dangerous it can be after consuming alcohol or without the proper safety precautions. 🍻
The scooter safety trio from Jamieson Trauma Institute (JTI) and RBWH Emergency Department look at data from 30 emergency departments across Queensland, in line with the rising injury rate from Personal Mobility Devices (PMD) like e-scooters. 🛴🤔
RN Hayley from RBWH ED said December is known for people putting the silly in silly season, and she wants you to think before you ride!
"This is the peak month for Emergency Department (ED) presentations from ePMD injuries, with Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday afternoons/evenings being the most common times of presentation to the ED," she said.
So, if you’re enjoying bevvies this Christmas, hang up those helmets and antlers, park and lock your e-scooter, and opt for a safer way home. 👍
