Like Brighton Health Campus senior pharmacist, Tessa, who supports patients needing that extra bit of time to recover from an acute condition or injury following a hospital admission.

“As a pharmacist, I aim to safely transition the care and medication management of a patient from the acute setting to the home.” 🫶

“There has been such a significant growth in the importance pharmacists play in the community and home care setting, this is making a big difference to the health and wellbeing of patients who return home safely and who are continuing to live independently.”

Staff at the Brighton Health Campus are always exploring new technologies and robotic devices to help with orthopaedic rehabilitation and recovery.

Grant, the occupational therapist team leader at the Brighton Health Campus, is flying that robotic flag high, with a focus on helping patients return home and get back to a meaningful life. 🤖

“Robotics are now providing an adjunct to traditional approaches we have used for many years. It enables people to engage in activities or movements they couldn’t do.

“People get used to the upper or lower limb robotic device which gives them more variety in their therapy and is more engaging and helpful for their recovery, especially the orthopaedic games.

“It is very important that we continue to explore options for using robotics in therapy further.” 🫶

Geoff's life changed in an instant when he received a shock diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis four and a half years ago. 🫁

Pulmonary fibrosis is essentially scarring of the lungs and there are many types. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is the term used when the cause of the disease is not known.

Lucky for Geoff, he has been put on a clinical trial at TPCH; with nurse Cathy there for support and education, as they try to slow down the process of this life threatening and complex disease.

"Looking back, I was short of breath for a while, but didn’t realise there was something wrong. I just persevered and pushed through," Geoff said.

"The benefit of being in this trial means I can ring Cathy at any time with any questions I might have. There is no cure, but the hope is to halt it from progressing."
