As the largest Hospital and Health Service in Queensland, we offer care far and wide for a diverse range of patients.
Senior Medical Officer Ron is one of the 4,000 doctors that work at Metro North, in one of 20 different specialties. He says he loves his unique work environments, splitting his time between Bribie Island Satellite Health Centre and Woodford Correctional Centre.
"I was drawn to this role by the opportunity to work in a unique island community, maintain a broad scope of clinical practice, and deliver remote care where appropriate," he said.
"The combination of diverse patient presentations, a respectful patient base, and the island’s lifestyle made the position particularly appealing."

My time in Cancer Care...
40 years for me. Good, bad a funny moments. It’s the patients that keep me going. The ones I’ve been there for when they were leaving this world! The families I’ve helped when they are losing a loved one. The saddest moment in their lives. I’ve cried with patients and their families. These times can be beautiful memories. So many other wonderful memories. Seeing a patient leave ICU after a long battle and illness, to go home to their families. I can’t really talk about many funny moments. Sometimes in the hardest times, there are funny moments that make you laugh so hard you cry! That’s sometimes what keeps you going! If you don’t laugh you’d cry. Proud to be a nurse! ❤️

44 years and I’ve pulled the pin. Unfortunately, i can no longer put up with the crap, lack of support from management, expectations of daily overtime, the lack of respect from some medical staff. It got to the point, I did not like the person I became when I went to work. Decisions that are made, that make no logical sense. This is my experience of what nursing has become. Very sad!
"I had a stroke in March; I was at the Royal and then transferred to STARS four weeks ago. I do a bit of everything in the gym, and they got me going pretty quick, to the point where last week I was walking by myself. I was driving back from Caboolture and had my stroke when I got home, so it was lucky it didn't happen on the highway. I'm a handyman, I run my business myself, but I'm not sure if I'll get back to that as I'll have to work on my grip. It was very unexpected, but the staff are really good here and the goal is to get better."

All the very best for your recovery, Lawrence.

Mum and daughter duo Paola and Lina share a special bond having taken them from Peru to working side by side as midwives at Redcliffe Hospital, where they help other mums. ❤️👩🍼
Before moving to Australia, Paola was a dentist in Peru where she gave birth to her daughter Lina at 35 weeks. As a single mum, she raised Lina without any dedicated support before making the move to Australia where she decided she wanted to train as a midwife.
"Seeing the two sides of pregnancy in Peru versus Australia, makes us feel special being here at Metro North where we have all the resources to provide to women. It’s a life changing experience, and we are here to make the best of that moment when you have the baby," said Paola, who now conducts research in this space, between here and Peru, to help other women.
Lina says that her mother's career inspired her greatly in choosing to become a midwife, after initially studying law.
"I wasn’t really passionate about law, but talking about Mums' experiences with her, that’s what made me want to change. She has always guided me throughout my life, and it was like having a walking a textbook with me," said Lina.
We want to wish all of the mothers and mother figures at Metro North Health a very happy Mother's Day today. 💐👩👧
This is amazing!
Beautiful.
Aww 🥰
Inspirational women 💐🥳
Felicitaciones por su entrega a tan bonita profesión. Bendiciones para Paola y Lina.
This is a wonderful post. What a fantastic mother/daughter duo you two make Paola!!!
So nice to see your smiling face Paola and to see that your daughter has become a midwife too. What a special thing to share xx
Yay Lina!! so proud🩷🩷
Two beautiful midwives 💖
Felicitaciones y muchas bendiciones 🌻 🌷
Beautiful Paola!
I had the lovely experience with both back in 2020 Paola was my student midwife for my son. And in 2024 Lina was my student midwife for my baby girl! I miss them so much. They are amazing midwives xx
Amazing story, Paola and Lina are true inspirations! 🙏❤️
Beautiful photo Paola, and an amazing and compassionate midwife inspiring her, no doubt, amazing daughter ❤️ xx
Well done Paola and Lina.
Beautiful story. ❤️ I had the privilege of being cared for by an extraordinary midwife Lina recently. Her compassion, guidance, and gentle presence meant so much to me during this time. I’m deeply grateful for everything she did.

With Mother's Day around the corner, we want to celebrate the special people who help our new mums. 💐👶
The Midwives and Nurses in the NICU and Special Care Nurseries such as Udari and Khi are the reassuring hands, calm voices and caring hearts that support parents through some of life's most emotional moments.
"Being in this ward, we see the sacrifices that are made for babies. The parents never knew that they would end up on this path of neonatal care, but they still show up every day. It makes me appreciative of my mum," said Udari.
"These mums are sometimes going through things that they don’t understand yet, to provide them with education and to let them know we are there to support and encourage them, it makes me happy," said Khi.
#ShoutoutSaturday to all our midwives, nurses and supporters of mums across Metro North. 👏👩🍼
Aw Udari 🤍
Great work everyone.
Congratulations
But the baby in the cot isn’t real 😂
All the male nurses will be covering for the working mothers today. They won't see their wives, children and mothers today.

On this International Nurses Day, Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer Alanna reflects on her 45 years as a nurse and how far nursing has come in that time. 👩⚕️
Do you have a favourite nursing memory you’d like to share? Let us know in the comments below. ❤️
💜Thanks to the nurses 🙏
Happy International Nurses Day 💐 we appreciate you all 🫶🏼
So proud of my daughter being a registered nurse
We are so grateful for all our nurses 🥰
Thank you to the nurses for their compassion and service
Thank you to all the wonderful Nurses! 💕
My time in Cancer Care...
40 years for me. Good, bad a funny moments. It’s the patients that keep me going. The ones I’ve been there for when they were leaving this world! The families I’ve helped when they are losing a loved one. The saddest moment in their lives. I’ve cried with patients and their families. These times can be beautiful memories. So many other wonderful memories. Seeing a patient leave ICU after a long battle and illness, to go home to their families. I can’t really talk about many funny moments. Sometimes in the hardest times, there are funny moments that make you laugh so hard you cry! That’s sometimes what keeps you going! If you don’t laugh you’d cry. Proud to be a nurse! ❤️

44 years and I’ve pulled the pin. Unfortunately, i can no longer put up with the crap, lack of support from management, expectations of daily overtime, the lack of respect from some medical staff. It got to the point, I did not like the person I became when I went to work. Decisions that are made, that make no logical sense. This is my experience of what nursing has become. Very sad!
"I had a stroke in March; I was at the Royal and then transferred to STARS four weeks ago. I do a bit of everything in the gym, and they got me going pretty quick, to the point where last week I was walking by myself. I was driving back from Caboolture and had my stroke when I got home, so it was lucky it didn't happen on the highway. I'm a handyman, I run my business myself, but I'm not sure if I'll get back to that as I'll have to work on my grip. It was very unexpected, but the staff are really good here and the goal is to get better."
💭 Monday Mantra, Lawrence, STARS Rehabilitation Patient
All the very best for your recovery, Lawrence.

Mum and daughter duo Paola and Lina share a special bond having taken them from Peru to working side by side as midwives at Redcliffe Hospital, where they help other mums. ❤️👩🍼
Before moving to Australia, Paola was a dentist in Peru where she gave birth to her daughter Lina at 35 weeks. As a single mum, she raised Lina without any dedicated support before making the move to Australia where she decided she wanted to train as a midwife.
"Seeing the two sides of pregnancy in Peru versus Australia, makes us feel special being here at Metro North where we have all the resources to provide to women. It’s a life changing experience, and we are here to make the best of that moment when you have the baby," said Paola, who now conducts research in this space, between here and Peru, to help other women.
Lina says that her mother's career inspired her greatly in choosing to become a midwife, after initially studying law.
"I wasn’t really passionate about law, but talking about Mums' experiences with her, that’s what made me want to change. She has always guided me throughout my life, and it was like having a walking a textbook with me," said Lina.
We want to wish all of the mothers and mother figures at Metro North Health a very happy Mother's Day today. 💐👩👧
This is amazing!
Beautiful.
Aww 🥰
Inspirational women 💐🥳
Felicitaciones por su entrega a tan bonita profesión. Bendiciones para Paola y Lina.
This is a wonderful post. What a fantastic mother/daughter duo you two make Paola!!!
So nice to see your smiling face Paola and to see that your daughter has become a midwife too. What a special thing to share xx
Yay Lina!! so proud🩷🩷
Two beautiful midwives 💖
Felicitaciones y muchas bendiciones 🌻 🌷
Beautiful Paola!
I had the lovely experience with both back in 2020 Paola was my student midwife for my son. And in 2024 Lina was my student midwife for my baby girl! I miss them so much. They are amazing midwives xx
Amazing story, Paola and Lina are true inspirations! 🙏❤️
Beautiful photo Paola, and an amazing and compassionate midwife inspiring her, no doubt, amazing daughter ❤️ xx
Well done Paola and Lina.
Beautiful story. ❤️ I had the privilege of being cared for by an extraordinary midwife Lina recently. Her compassion, guidance, and gentle presence meant so much to me during this time. I’m deeply grateful for everything she did.
Amazing story
This is amazing Paola & Lina 💫🍃
Son lo máximo
Hermosas peruanas!!!! Que Dios las bendiga y proteja siempre
Such beautiful midwives!
Wonderful to see you both here. 🥰
Que bueno
With Mother's Day around the corner, we want to celebrate the special people who help our new mums. 💐👶
The Midwives and Nurses in the NICU and Special Care Nurseries such as Udari and Khi are the reassuring hands, calm voices and caring hearts that support parents through some of life's most emotional moments.
"Being in this ward, we see the sacrifices that are made for babies. The parents never knew that they would end up on this path of neonatal care, but they still show up every day. It makes me appreciative of my mum," said Udari.
"These mums are sometimes going through things that they don’t understand yet, to provide them with education and to let them know we are there to support and encourage them, it makes me happy," said Khi.
#ShoutoutSaturday to all our midwives, nurses and supporters of mums across Metro North. 👏👩🍼
Aw Udari 🤍
Great work everyone.
Congratulations
But the baby in the cot isn’t real 😂
All the male nurses will be covering for the working mothers today. They won't see their wives, children and mothers today.
