Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital

"I’ve been in Brisbane for 46 years, moved here from Bunbury WA. My mother was here having an operation and asked me to come and visit. I wasn’t going to stay, but I made friends and ended up not wanting to leave. Bunbury is a beautiful regional town; I miss the scenery, but not the flies. I’ve been on dialysis here at RBWH for 2 years. Dialysis takes time to adjust to, but I’m used to it now; it’s all part of getting older. Outside of this, I’m grateful for my good health. For Easter, I used to go away a lot. I enjoyed going to Noosa for the long weekend. Sometimes I’d go camping, too. I’ve been overseas 3 times. The first was to the UK in 1978. I stayed with a friend on Portobello Road. A very famous road in London, famous for antiques. I’ve also been to Italy, my favourite place to visit was Pompeii. I haven’t been to Portofino, but it’s somewhere I’d love to go."

Senior Medical Officer and Head and Neck Specialist Andrew explains how flexible working arrangements and collaborative team culture allows the team to produce the best results for patients.

"We are all travelling along this life and career journey together, we learn things from the young ones all the time. There is a real mentor and mentee relationship," he said.

"Occasionally we will all huddle around an interesting case, where everyone can learn from each other and collaborate. We also mix with a lot of clinicians that ask us questions and provide us information to make our reports better.

"We deal with such a wide variety of things, you’re not going to be pigeonholed into one specialty. It's very 'choose your own adventure' and if you have a specific strength that you are interested in, we can help facilitate that through teamwork and sharing the workload."

"I'm originally from Monto, there's not much out that way. I transferred from Monto to Bundaberg and then Bundaberg to here. Advice for my younger self would be to accept the help and don't try to be the perfect mum, it won't work. I thought I could go back to being a normal mum right after my c-section. But when they say that all your pain disappears when you hear the baby cry for the first time, well, it really does."
