Hi Team Royal,<\/p>\n

With the ever-changing COVID-19 hospital restrictions, the recent introduction of mandatory staff vaccination and children 12 years and older now eligible to receive the vaccine, life as part of the RBWH team continues to evolve. Thank you for being receptive to these changes, supporting your teams and working with your managers and executive to ensure we stay up-to-date with our requirements.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to start with a huge thank you to our Emergency and Trauma Centre team. In addition to supporting our COVID-19 Fever Clinic and the emergency care requirements of our community, the team have also been providing care to Afghan evacuees as they arrive in Brisbane on repatriation flights. I am proud we have been able to provide our expertise as part of worldwide humanitarian efforts, and thank our staff members from across RBWH who have risen to the challenge of helping those in need. You can read more about their efforts, as well as the Women\u2019s and Newborn Services team who have been collecting donations for Afghan women and children in this edition of News at the Royal.<\/p>\n

This newsletter highlights how the Ophthalmology Department is helping our multicultural patient cohort, the Social Work team\u2019s Pets in Crisis campaign and RUOK? Day activities across the hospital. We also welcome three McGrath Foundation Breast Care Nurses to Cancer Care, and officially open the new Queensland Adult Specialist Immunisation Service (QASIS).<\/p>\n

Finally, I would like to share some positive feedback from the parents of a patient who is currently recovering at RBWH from a serious accident that left her with brain damage and unable to move.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are two very happy and grateful parents today. When our daughter walked to the end of the corridor, all the nurses and staff cheered for her. We feel such support from this hospital and we are so thankful.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you for all that you do.<\/p>\n
