As a relative newcomer to the Pharmacy team at Redcliffe Hospital, it didn't take Janine long to understand why some of the team have worked there for more than 25 years. 🗓️

Whether she's on the wards, in the dispensary, or working behind the scenes, Janine collaborates with a range of specialities to ensure patients receive the best possible outcomes.

"Our team works alongside pharmacists to help streamline medicine delivery and ensure safe practices when it comes to medication management," Janine says.

"No two days are the same. We help share the load of the busy pharmacy team, looking after vital tasks such as inventory management, prescription medication rooms on wards, and medication-related data entry."

💊 If you'd like to work alongside this enthusiastic team, who also offer flexible work arrangements such as nine-day fortnight opportunities, check out the vacancy via Smart Jobs - smartjobs.qld.gov.au/jobs/QLD-RD663576

Bee stings are part of the job when honey is your business, but when a sting leads to a life-threatening reaction, it takes an expert team to find the 'sweet spot' treatment for a safe return to the hives. 🐝🐝 

Beekeeper-turned-patient Chez had the unfortunate luck of suffering a bee sting in April last year. Unlike every other sting, this time she had an anaphylaxis reaction, meaning her throat started to close up as her body reacted to the venom.

"It was one of the scariest experiences of my life," shares Chez, pictured here with CN Catherine from Immunology.

"It meant I could no longer work with the bees alongside my husband like I used to."

Chez was treated in emergency and referred to the Immunology team at the RBWH, where she is undergoing a venom desensitisation therapy so she can eventually work with bees again.

Each month she receives injections to the equivalent of two bee stings which will allow her to build up a resistance, and after 490 days, she's finally able to work with the bees again. 🐝😊

"Modern medicine really is incredible, and I feel so lucky to be experiencing the benefits of it."
