Bathrooms with more bench space, additional hooks and a disposable bin in every cubicle. These may sound like small adjustments, but for people living with a stoma, they can make a big difference.
To coincide with Stomal Therapy Awareness Week, RBWH this week opened its first stoma-friendly toilet to provide personal space and dignity for patients who would otherwise just 'make do'.
Patient Mel is one of more than 50,000 Australians living with a stoma - a surgically created opening in the abdomen that allows waste to be eliminated effectively.
"This is the first time I've seen a public toilet truly set up for people like me." she says.
"Changing or emptying a bag can be stressful. Regular cubicles just don't give you the space of surfaces needed to do this hygienically."
"I hope this is the start of a wider shift towards more inclusive and thoughtful design in public facilities."
The RBWH Stomal Therapy Team perform around 200 procedures each year for patients with various conditions including bowel cancer and diverticulitis.
More bathrooms at RBWH will be modified to make life easier for patients with a stoma soon.
Also need this for people who self catheterise . Most public toilets don’t have the room to setup if you have to measure your output 😥
Just Ashame the Toilets at Metro North Health Northlakes all have Small Toilet Cubicals tho....Dont cater for slightly larger guys .......
Awesome 👏

Ladies, are you pregnant, recovering from birth, or do you want to improve your core strength?
If so, it's time to show your pelvic floor some love! 💖
The pelvic floor is an important group of muscles and ligaments that support your bladder, bowel, pelvic organs and your sexual health.
RBWH Physio, Liv is here with a simple exercise you can try to start strengthening those muscles today.
No matter your stage of life, a strong pelvic floor can make a world of difference to improve bladder and bowel control and can even enhance sexual function.
Great work,Liv!

A birthing experience that inspires you to become a midwife? That's worth celebrating! 👶
As the RBWH Birth Centre marks 30-years of bringing new Queenslanders into the world, Graduate Midwife Sarah is one of the few who've experienced the service from both sides.
"I've had both of my children in the birth centre," Sarah said.
"The experience having my first child inspired me to become a midwife to be able to provide that same level of care for others."
Across its 30-year history, the Birth Centre has welcomed more than 10,000 new additions to families in an environment that feels more like home than hospital.
"The birth centre offers a home-like setting for low-risk pregnancies," Sarah said.
"Each of our birth rooms has a large bed, a beanbag and a bathtub, which allows the option for a water birth."
"Helping other families have the same great experience I had, while working alongside other midwives who share the same passion for care is a dream come true."
Expectant families in the Metro North Health catchment area interested in accessing the Birth Centre should speak to their GP about this option.
So sorry to have missed the celebration today! What’s even more exciting; women can self refer online in 2 weeks time at ALL Qld hospitals!!!! A great example of what good looks like by metro north’s own Caboolture already does this, so it’s wonderful every other site will have caught up, and means no more delays in access to the safest models of care and places of birth!
I painted that lovely room . So glad it’s a nice environment to bring a new Bub into the world.
