Gillian Nasato, Acting Executive Director, Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital

Just like that, we’ve almost reached the end of 2022. I’d like to start with a heartfelt thank you to you, Team Royal, for your hard work, support and trust as we continued to navigate the new world we live in. We have so many reasons to be proud this year. The dedication shown to caring for our patients has been nothing short of incredible and it has been an honour to work alongside such a talented and kind team.    

In the final issue of News at the Royal for the year, we find out who has taken out the coveted annual Christmas Decorating Competition. The end of year staff thank you BBQ was also a hit, with staff coming from throughout the hospital and beyond to enjoy a burger on us. You can check out some photos below.  

Read on to find out about the ophthalmology team’s new virtual interpreter service, as well as the international conference recently organised by RBWH’s Queensland Trophoblast Centre. The RBWH Foundation also provides an update on their annual Christmas appeal and how you can give the gift of time this Christmas. 

I hope you all have an opportunity over the festive season to celebration and enjoy the company of loved ones be that friends or family.  

Merry Christmas and a happy new year! 

Kind regards,

Gillian Nasato
Acting Executive Director
