When life’s no oil painting – a look at art therapy with Peta Mitchell
Putting paintbrush to paper has become a popular past time of late, as thousands of Australians pass the time in their homes.
Why you should ask RUOK? everyday
Asking someone if they’re OK should be a simple human interaction, but often fear of the answer stops people from asking. Before you ask if someone’s OK, you need to prepare yourself to manage the situation if the answer is no and know what to do next.
JOMO: An introvert’s perspective on isolation
This might be an unpopular opinion, but the call to stay at home and bans on non-essential activities has been a great relief for me.

COVID-19 vaccinations kicked off at Metro North this week and clinical nurse immunisers like Mel have been working non-stop! 💉
"I've lost count of how many vaccines I've administered this week, but the hub itself has reached over 1,000!" she said.
"It's such a huge team effort, we have staff here from all over Queensland and from so many different disciplines ready to help in whatever way they can.
"I feel so privileged to be in one of the first groups to vaccinate and protect those in our community. Our patients have provided great feedback and it's wonderful to see everyone's hard work into setting up the hub pay off."

Did you know that 31,000 blood donations are needed every week across Australia to help patients in need? 🩸 Registered nurse and midwife Tenash is such a regular blood and plasma donor, she can't even remember how many times she's done it!
"I know it's been at least 25 times, but honestly I've lost count!" she said.
"I work with sick babies and mums all the time, I know how important and life-changing these donations can be to patients and their families.
"Everyone who can should donate! You never know when someone near and dear to you could need it."
Australian Red Cross Lifeblood are calling for all existing and new donors to book a blood or plasma donation by visiting lifeblood.com.au or by calling 13 14 95.
What a lovely pic, Tenash! We’re fortunate to have you as a proactive member of our amazing donor family. Thank you so much, and have a great weekend. 💗 – Irene

#Caboolture Hospital’s Dr Emma Maguire is an emergency expert when it comes to snake bites, treating a number of patients each year when they’ve inadvertently crossed paths with one. 🐍 As the toxicology lead in her hospital, she’s responsible for making sure patients who present to the ED are okay and assessing whether they’ve been bitten or envenomed.
Not every bite will require antivenom, but in some cases it can be life-saving! Emma’s message is simple – if you think you've been bitten by a snake, put on a pressure bandage, immobilise the limb that's been bitten, and call 000 to get to the ED as quickly as possible. And please... don't bring the snake! 🚑
Emma is a fantastic clinician! It was a privilege to have worked with her and the team in Caboolture
Hope I don’t need you Emma, but very glad you are there with the expertise if I do.
You're a smart cookie Emma. Glad you are ours
Yes! Antivenom. Great job 🐍
Great doctor 👏 👍
Matthew Stephenson is this her ?
A great person and doctor!
Caroline Hubbard .....
Excellent Doctor 👍👍👍
Great Doctor.

Birthday boy Krispin celebrated his special day yesterday by getting the COVID-19 vaccine! As the Director of Infectious Diseases at RBWH, he couldn't have been more excited to be one of the first to receive the vaccine. 💉🎈🍰
"On my birthday last year COVID-19 was starting to really ramp up and I was worried about what the year had in store for us," he said.
"But this year I got to celebrate my birthday as well as our vaccine rollout at Metro North! It was a great day and I can't wait to see the impact this will have in our communities as more and more Queenslanders get vaccinated."
Happy Birthday Krispin. Thank you for your terrific efforts and very hard work throughout the last year.
So proud of our amazing State and Qld Health. Again, Happy Birthday to you Krispin. We are so luckily to have such a kind soul leading the way in this pandemic.
Happy Birthday Krispin and thank you for all you do. Keep up the good fight.
