Today is R U OK? Day, and Sasha, Clinical Coder at RBWH, is this year's R U OK? Champion Award winner! 🌟
"I was honestly shocked! There are so many kind and compassionate people here, I don’t feel like I’m that special," Sasha shared.
"We spend a third of our lives at work. It’s so important to look out for your colleagues. You never know what someone might be going through, so just be kind and listen without judgement."
Sasha wants more workplaces where everyone feels confident enough to ask, "Are you OK?" – because that one question could save a life. 💛
R U OK have a range of resources available on their website with tips for starting conversations.

Bundaberg mum Brittany was shocked when she felt her baby's foot prematurely coming out of her cervix.
"At this point, I was 19 weeks pregnant" says Brittany. "The doctors in Bundaberg told me that if I could make it to 22 weeks, they would send me to stay in Brisbane, so I'd be near the Royal for when I delivered."
Brittany made it to 23 weeks and was soon admitted to the RBWH. Baby Wyatt was born a month later and spent eight weeks in the NICU with help to support his breathing.
Thanks to the "amazing" care received at Bundaberg Base Hospital and the RBWH, Wyatt now happy and healthy at home with his parents. ✨

Where the blazes was this team in 2020 while my husband was taking a week to pass away in the P.C.U.?. My family and I was too griefstricken to even ask or think about a chaplain and the staff never let us know such a service existed and none of the chaplains showed up in P.C,U., anyway
