New dose of doctors for Metro North
Queensland’s largest Hospital and Health Service is welcoming more than 160 junior doctors this week.
How can we do better?
This is the question Metro North Mental Health Director of Psychology Anthony Bligh asked himself while undertaking a Graduate Certificate in Health Services Innovation. #ThinkyThursday research is undertaken to help Metro North offer the best possible healthcare to our patients.
Home for first Christmas in 4 ½ years
It has been a long and very difficult journey for father of two and caring husband Mark McLaren after suffering a brain haemorrhage while on a family holiday to Disney Land in 2015.
Congratulations to our Health Science graduates!
Metro North staff were among the first cohort of students to graduate from the new Graduate Certificate in Health Science (Health Services Innovation) at the University of Technology (QUT).
Trial reduces medication errors
Happy Thinky Thursday! Caboolture Hospital Nurse Unit Manager Colleen Herrmann is inspiring nurses to include research in their day-to-day duties having taken on an Associate Investigator role in a research study in collaboration with the University of the Sunshine Coast.
RBWH’s favourite married couple become cross country caravanners
With 50 years’ combined service, RBWH’s favourite married couple Pete and Di Atkinson are going from co-workers to cross country caravanners.
Congratulations to the Clinician Research Fellows for 2020
Recipients of the second round of Metro North Clinician Research Fellowships have been announced which awards up to five Fellowship awards annually, specifically designed to allow Metro North’s emerging and highly skilled clinician researchers to develop and advance a body of research aligned to the Research Strategy.
Queensland Health Awards for Excellence
Metro North staff have been recognised for outstanding achievements at the 2019 Queensland Health Awards for Excellence. Associate Professor Kerstin Wyssusek and Dr Peter Russell were among those recognised, as well as Metro North based Queensland Occupational Violence Strategy Unit.
Research improves care of ventilated patients
It’s #ThinkyThursday! Today we look at ICU Dietitian Alicia Wiese’s research into improving the nutrition of patients in Intensive Care Units. Working alongside an expert team, Alicia and other researchers have moved away from GRV monitoring and, under a new protocol, have improved health outcomes for patients.

Our #rbwh staff are helping bushfire victi9 News Queenslandind 🐨 Keep an eye out for them on 9 News Queensland tonight! 📺
Thanks very much for trying to help. In many ways it can seem like a drop in the ocean, as there are so many nonhuman animals that have already perished, but those few that you can salvage should be grateful. <3
Laura Leonard you’re famous 😎😂

Our staff and volunteers moved by the bushfire crisis have been working hard over the past week collecting expired medical supplies for injured wildlife. They’ve already packed more than 50 boxes to donate! 🌳🐨📦 Great work team!
Ohhhhhh that is sooooo awesome !!!! I started a koala box at work to. This makes me so happy ♥️
This is great. Sooo wonderful and well done💕Would also be great to consider developing countries where in some cases only choice is to reinsert used equipment with risk of introducing HIV. Donated expired unused equipment a much better option. Could send with those volunteering overseas.
This is fantastic ❤️ Well done, Metro North HHS!
Brilliant effort Lex! 👏 You're so thoughtful
Great work to all.
Great work Metro North!
Love this so much! What a great idea!
I have more to give. I'm at TPCH. Who do we give them to? I have giving sets, large plastic bowls, kidney dish sets etc
That is so good.🐈🐕🐴☺️
Thanks for doing a bit to save the animals. That's the area I work in.
Great work team
Great work.
