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."

Welcome to the world, Evelyn! 🐣 On 24 Feb, little Evelyn was born to first time parents Emma and Sam at #RBWH who were thrilled to finally meet her.
"She weighed 9.89 lbs and was born at 2.02 am, but she certainly kept us waiting! Evelyn was due a day earlier and I had about a 16 hour labour," Emma said.
Join us in wishing Emma, Sam and Evelyn a safe trip home! #FeelgoodFriday 💕
Only afew days old and she's already got a ring on it!?
Beautiful. Impressive show of hair
Great name
So cute.Welcome little one.
A new Ambassador program trial is underway at RBWH, and the team in 9A South couldn’t be happier! 🤗 Ambassadors like Evile work with the nursing team to identify patients who may need some extra support as they recover in hospital. Their role is to help patients feel safe and secure by having a chat and re-orientate them if they are stressed or confused after surgery, meaning that the busy nursing team can focus on their clinical duties. Thanks to all our Ambassadors for making our patients feel safe! ❤️🏥
This is an amazing initiative, lets hope its rolled out across more facilities. Well done RBWH 💚
Since having the ambassadors on the ward I have never felt so safe and supported on the ward!! These guys are worth their weight in gold 😃❤️
What a great idea can this program be across all MN ?
How blessed are we to have our wonderful public health system Thankyou 🙏❤️
Absolutely fantastic initiative.
Solid toko! Ofas
Amazing stuff🙌🏼🙌🏼

Awesome idea to have these ambassadors they should be implemented in IMS wards also (9BN)🤷♀️🤔👍👍
I have never felt safer being at work in the after hour period. Our four Ambassadors are angels and l would like to thank them and also management for making this happen. They help comfort patients and diffuse any potential conflict. Thankyou to you all.
Gold star team ⭐️ patient centred care in action. Congratulations to the RBWH, QOVSU and Protective Services for a great initiative to keep both patients and staff safe and comfortable.
We caught up with 25-year-old Clinical Nurse Kelly to find out what it's like caring for patients who visit the Oncology Day Therapy Unit at RBWH. 🏥
"It's nice to be able to support patients through what usually is a pretty terrible time for them. You grow to know them so well so seeing them in bad way can be hard, but we do our best to care, support and comfort them and their families," she said.
"I wanted to work in oncology after I completed my prac here and I found the team easy to work with. It gets quite busy and it really makes a difference when you know you can rely on each other."
Nurses like Kelly make a huge difference to the lives of others every day, thank you Kelly for all that you do! 🤗
Well done Kelly and Cancer Care Services!! “Life is short, work somewhere awesome!!” #proudtobeChiefNurse&MidwiferyOfficerMNHHS
Your dedication and kindness during uncertain times is greatly appreciated. 💝👏
