RBWH takes the top gong at netball
RBWH once again demonstrated their fine sporting skills and costume prowess with four teams participating in the annual Metro North Netball Tournament!
The Splintaz team from RBWH Occupation Therapy took our first place for the second year running thanks to their speed, precision and overall enthusiasm.
The I-V Leaguers, made up for RBWH Registered Nurses, won best dressed on the day and it’s easy to see why!
RBWH team Put Me Anywhere placed forth, while the Net Fash team also delivered some stiff competition.
Well done to everyone who got involved in this great event.
Clean and green for National Recycling Week
RBWH celebrated National Recycling Week from 8-14 November. The Metro North Environment and Waste team in collaboration with the RBWH Green Team hosted a Recycling Showcase and Forum to help showcase what is already happening at RBWH in the sustainability space and highlight ways we can do more.
The showcase included a forum with a Q&A, workshops hosted by Reverse Garbage designed to inspire staff to reduce, reuse and recycle, and displays from RBWH’s recycling partners.
Here’s some of the highlights of the week!
Well done to the Nutrition and Dietetics team for their work on the drive!
Team Royal provides meals for those in need
The RBWH Nutrition and Dietetics team would like to say a huge thank you to Team Royal for their huge contribution to the annual Foodbank Hunger Drive.
Overall, we raised $3,125 for FoodBank, which provided 6,250 meals for Queenslanders in need.
RBWH senior dietician Cindy Jennings said that 47 per cent of Queensland residents experiencing food insecurity have accessed food relief at least once since the start of the pandemic.
“Thanks to the generosity of Team Royal staff and friends, we smashed our initial target of $2000,” she said.
“Next year we will be aiming even higher.”
