Gillian Nasato, Acting Executive Director, Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital
Welcome to 2023. I hope you all had an opportunity to enjoy some downtime with family and friends over the festive period and have returned to work feeling refreshed. To those who worked we collectively thank you for continuing to care for our patients over the Christmas New Year period.
I’m excited for a big year ahead and I hope you are too.
We’ve kicked off the new year with some exciting refurbishments and relocations for some of our teams. The BEMS team completed their much-anticipated refurbishment of 6A just before Christmas and the gynaecology department recently returned to their home in 6AN. Read on to find out more.
The RBWH Peer Responders are ready for the new year after a fantastic 2022. Read about how they’ve supported Team Royal below. In this issue of News at the Royal you can also find out about Professor Leonie Callaway’s exciting recent achievement, hear how the Social Work Department brightened patients’ festive season and find out the latest update from the RBWH Foundation.
Have a great month.
Kind regards,
Gillian Nasato
