With more than 360 cancer care nurses in Metro North, it`s important to have a strong backbone behind them - and our ultimate sweet duo, Em and Em, are just two of our nurses` biggest supporters!
Both cancer care nurses themselves, Emilly (left) and Emma (right) are now working in roles to educate our nurses on best practice, clinical trials and patient care innovations to ensure our staff feel supported and our patients get top level care.
Nurse Educator Emilly says her role training new and existing cancer care nurses is not just focussed on clinical practice, but looks at the human side of the role.
"Those that stay in cancer care nursing are the people who help patients find and seek little joys in the day, so it`s not just clinical practice, it`s teaching how to care for people," she said.
Acting Nurse Researcher Emma is looking at improving care needs for CAR-T cell patients in an acute hospital setting, which will then ultimately form part of nurse education.
"It`s acknowledging what the patients are experiencing and how we can better support them, as nurses we follow protocols but it`s just as important that we listen to the patient and then get that evidence on how best to care for them," she said.
#ShoutoutSaturday to Em and Em, and our cancer care nursing cohort at MN. 🫶
In 1985, a fresh-faced 18-year-old trainee nurse started her career at Royal Brisbane and Women`s Hospital on a gynaecology ward. Over 40 years later, she`s given her entire career to Metro North - as the time comes to finally say goodbye.
Tami is well-loved across Metro North, having worked in many wards at RBWH including as a midwife, before heading up Community and Oral Health and The Prince Charles Hospital, where she has most recently been Executive Director for the past six years.
Making friends wherever she goes, it`s easy to see how much Tami will be missed, with constant hugs and `hellos` following her through the TPCH hallways.
But what will she miss? "The people", of course.
"It`s always a hard decision to make but I know it`s the right time to say goodbye - I`ll miss the staff and the patients that I see on the wards," she said.
"For me it`s always been about people, I didn`t know I wanted to be a nurse, but I knew I had to be with people. My Dad trained as a medical student in Greece and when he moved to Australia, he had to start medicine again, while my Mum worked as a medical secretary at RBWH.
"So, health has always been in my family, and I have never looked back - nursing is so diverse, from the Emergency Department to surgical wards and humanitarian work, I have done it all."
Congratulations Tami on an amazing career, you will be missed! ❤️
In 1941, Physician Saul Hertz discovered that radioactive iodine could be used in a targeted way to treat patients with overactive thyroid disease, which is a technique that is still widely used today.
Theranostics is now considered one of the key pillars of cancer care and can be used to treat neuroendocrine tumours, thyroid cancer and prostate cancer. Find out more from Dr David, Director of Nuclear Medicine at the RBWH.
