1946 was a big year: Cannes held its first ever Film Festival, Frank Sinatra made his official solo debut, the two-piece swimsuit ‘the bikini’ was officially launched - and our very own Brighton Health Campus opened!
Now celebrating its 80th birthday, the Brighton Health Campus is home to residential aged care, and interim and rehabilitation care for people transitioning home or to a nursing home following a hospital stay.
But before it was a home for many patients, it was a personnel base that was used by the Royal Australian Air Force during World War 2, with the land and RAAF accommodation huts re-purposed as the Eventide Nursing Home in 1946.
During its peak in the 1970s, the facility cared for over 900 residents and was run by 450 nurses and attendants.
Celebrating eight decades of caring for Queenslanders, we wished Brighton a very happy birthday today! 🎉

For graduate radiographer Natalia, her experience at Redcliffe Hospital as a student made her sure that this is where she wanted to get her first job out of university! 🩻
"Throughout the first few months of your graduate year, you do shifts with a grad buddy to help you find your footing in the working environment, and then once you gain more confidence, you work independently across various areas including theatre, emergency and general," Natalia said.
"A big draw for working here for me is the new graduate project that you complete within the first nine months of the year, where you choose a topic that is relevant to your department, and either collect or retrospectively analyse data which you then present to all the other new graduates across Metro North."

After representing Australia at the World Cup in American Football (Gridiron), Dr Tyler faced a big decision. He had opportunities to continue playing in the United States at college level or stay in Australia and begin his medical degree. He chose to stay home and get stuck into university, trading the football field for medicine. 🏈
He`s now working at RBWH as a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery PHO and will commence the plastic surgery training program next year as one of only a handful of Queenslanders.
"Through early high school I started playing Gridiron, and I initially wanted to play college football in the States, but in the end, I decided to stay here and start my medical degree," he said.
"Since then, I have been so fortunate to find the same teamwork [as football] in plastic surgery - it’s a collegial environment, everyone has so much fun and is incredibly supportive.
“Working in plastic surgery is incredibly satisfying. It’s amazing to see how we can help patients recover, restore function and ultimately improve their quality of life.”
In addition to his surgical role, Tyler has been part of a research team with the University of Queensland, looking at how augmented reality could be applied to support planning and intraoperative guidance for reconstructive surgery. 💭
"I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, which was a hell of a shock. Speaking to someone who had already had a lung transplant [at TPCH], they told me you have to try and get in and see Dr Peter Hopkins and I can`t tell you how much that changed things, he is absolutely exceptional. Since I have been under him, it`s given me a lot more hope. The tests came back and it is idiopathic so even though I was in the construction industry and it may have been caused by asbestos; turns out it wasn`t. As I`ve got older, and I look back it puts life into perspective and the things that were important to me when I was younger are not as important now. When you are younger your currency is money, but as you get older, your currency becomes time."
