We wish to inform patients and visitors that the lifts in the Point Parking Car Park (multi-story car park on Butterfield Street) are currently out of order as a result of flood damage. While the repairs are underway, we advise that patients with mobility issues should park on level 3 of the car park which links directly to the hospital. Alternately, patients can be dropped off outside the main entrance to RBWH.

Point Parking are working hard to restore the lifts as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience.

A wheelchair accessible roaming buggy service is available with pick-up points at the lifts on each level to assist car park users who have difficulty using stairs to access the hospital.

Theres a small but mighty team working hard behind the scenes to ensure the flow of patients in and out of RBWH as effectively and efficiently as possible. 

Gareth is the director of patient flow services, who oversees the coordination of patient access and care delivery from point of entry right through to discharge, throughout the entire hospital. 

The team work closely with a range of other teams who coordinate bed management, after hours management, clinical support team through the UPLATE service as well as central clinical equipment coordination. 

We work to improve flow of patients in and out of emergency so that there is a flow on effect for ambulance and offload calls in the community, Gareth said. 

The end goal is to provide and coordinate better care for our patients in a timely manner, — its not just based on efficiency. 

If you are an agile dynamic leader looking to improve care for our patients, who also has a brain for logistics, then apply for the assistant nursing and midwifery director for patient flow & clinical effectiveness today: http://bit.ly/3zf6pyp

My wife and I had just bought a caravan and planned to travel around Australia, but that is all on hold now. We still might be able to do some local trips. We always loved travelling. I have had to accept that this is my life now. I feel sorry for the younger people who are in here. It has opened my eyes to the work that goes on, I had never been to a hospital in my life and now I practically live here.

RBWH clinical nurse consultant Angela has been going purple for epilepsy today, raising awareness for all her patients and the 28,000 Queenslanders who live with active epilepsy.  💜 

“Seventy per cent of epilepsy patients live relatively normal lives, but it’s the thirty per cent that don’t due to drug resistant epilepsy that we need to assist,” she said.

“They might have seizures once a month to multiple times a day despite medication, and those seizures mean they can’t work or drive.

“It’s a debilitating disease so anything we can do to alleviate that and help our patients lead a happy life is what  keeps us going.”

Little Zarli Gray was born at RBWH on 21 March at a plump 4.1 kgs.  

Her Mum Jazmine admitted that a dream was the source of the inspiration for her babys name. ✨

The day I found out I was pregnant, that night I went to sleep and had a dream that I was wearing a necklace saying Zarli - so I knew then that would be her name, Jazmine said. 

Zarli is the first baby for Jazmine and her partner, who also happened to get engaged on boxing day and plan to marry by the end of next year. 

Zarli will be big and walking by then, we will have our own little flower girl. 🌸 #FeelgoodFriday

There is no question that what we eat can impact our overall health, but our food can also affect the health of the trillions of beneficial bacteria living in our gut – also known as our microbiome.

Microbiome plays a key role in our health and its diversity provides a multitude of benefits, associated with reducing obesity, depression, cancer, and dementia.

RBWH dietitian nutritionist Rhiannon says the key to increased microbiome is to aim for 30 different plant foods per week, with diversity playing a key role in your health! 

“While 30 different plant foods might sound like a lot, the average person is likely already eating 10-15 different plant foods in a week – meaning you only have to increase it by another 15 to give your gut the benefits, she said.

There is no question that what we eat can impact our overall health, but our food can also affect the health of the trillions of beneficial bacteria living in our gut – also known as our microbiome.

Microbiome plays a key role in our health and its diversity provides a multitude of benefits, associated with reducing obesity, depression, cancer, and dementia.

RBWH dietitian nutritionist Rhiannon says the key to increased microbiome is to aim for 30 different plant foods per week, with diversity playing a key role in your health!

“While 30 different plant foods might sound like a lot, the average person is likely already eating 10-15 different plant foods in a week – meaning you only have to increase it by another 15 to give your gut the benefits," she said.
