Certified girl Dad Will is looking forward to a quiet one this Father's Day after his second daughter, whose name is still undecided was born earlier this week at the RBWH. 🩷

"We will sort of play it by ear and see how my partner is going, we would love to go get a massage," Will said.

"We haven't decided on the name yet, but we are leaning towards Sunday-Rose, we've always loved the name Sunday."

Fittingly, Father's Day falls on a Sunday - with this year looking extra special for Will.

"It's pretty surreal, our other daughter is very excited to be a big sister. She has plenty of girl cousins with sisters and has been very patient and now she has one of her own," he added. ... See MoreSee Less

Everyone deserves to feel safe at our hospitals, and Security Officers like Georgia make that possible. 🦺💪

"Every day is different, some days we are on 'jobs' at the wards or in certain areas and then sometimes we are just on patrol," Georgia explains, about her role at Redcliffe Hospital.

"If we are on the wards often the nurses are so busy that if a patient just needs some reassurance or some food, we are able to help them out in little ways.

"I have always had an interest in policing and security and have been at Redcliffe for the last year and a half, it's so awesome and we have quite a close-knit group here that always looks out for each other."

There are many unique roles in healthcare, and you might be surprised to know that getting behind the camera can be of them! Rachelle combines her clinical knowledge from dental nursing and prosthetics with her love for being creative to capture important clinical moments. 📸

Working as a Clinical Photographer and Medical Illustrator, Rachelle meets patients "from all walks of life" and sees photography through a scientific lens, as an important part of the healthcare team.

"We run around to many different areas, our big ones are dermatology and plastic surgery doing mole mapping, wound progress photos and also pre- and post-surgery shots," Rachelle explained.

"I come from a background in dental prosthetics and dental nursing but then did my certificate and diploma in photography. Although working in dental wasn't for me, I still have so much knowledge of anatomy and biology so being able to put all that knowledge into something creative, I love that aspect.

"Often times I'm seeing patients at their most vulnerable moments, after just learning they require a mastectomy or that their mole is a skin cancer. I do my best to make them feel as comfortable as possible and be that smiling face for them." ... See MoreSee Less
