Having a procedure at this time of year might be overwhelming for your child, but that added layer of missing out on Christmas at home is something Lucy is here to help with. 😬
Child Life Therapist Lucy will be at Caboolture over the festive period, talking with children, their parents and siblings around having procedures, providing preparation, comfort and distraction if it's required as part of her role.
"It can be quite overwhelming for children walking into a clinical environment, and Christmas time adds that extra layer of anxiety," says Lucy.
"My job is to provide play opportunities as well as to help make families' hospital experience a more understood process and reduce the stress of the unknown."
🤗👐 If you happen to find yourself at Caboolture Hospital for your child this festive season, remember that friendly faces like Lucy's are always here to lend a hand.
We are so grateful to our amazing and generous community for helping fund the first Child Life Therapist at Caboolture Hospital!
Go Lucy! We are so lucky to have you 🙂
Lucy was great at getting my sick child to eat by bringing a doll to feed 🤗
Well done Lucy, you truly are amazing in what you do!!
We love having you Lucy, thank you for the wonderful work you do!
Lucy really is amazing 🤩
What a fantastic, rewarding job!!
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 👇
