When you're a patient at RBWH, you're so close but so far away from a famous Ekka Strawberry Sundae! 🍦🍓
Luckily patients like Neville have been able to enjoy the annual treat from their hospital beds with some careful planning and curation from the RBWH food services team.
"Every time we go to the Ekka we have a Strawberry Sundae, so it's nice to still enjoy the experience," Neville said.
"This was beautiful, I wish I could have seven more!"
We did this for my husband many years ago, but he was in the Wesley, so it was a little worse for wear by the time he received it.

Great work to the food services team! What a lovely idea. That’s so sweet.
I remember watching the ferris wheel from my bed after giving birth to my second daughter! It's her 23rd birthday today & I'll never forget the care & attention I received at the hospital (but no Ekka ice creams back then! 🤣).
Love this
Bless our older Aussies - they should have everything they want / need, esp when unwell in hospital.
What a wonderful thing to do 💐
That's great. When I was an RN on the wards we would ring ahead and go over the road and buy the icecreams for the patients. We would all chip in to ensure every patient who wanted/able to have an ice-cream received one. The many fundraising events we did for our ward and the amount of unpaid overtime,.....
Wonderful. ❤️
When I work as a nurse in ward 7JS at the RBWH. ( The tall building across the road from the Ekka). One of the Nurses ( Suellen) was a member of the Ekka who had a pass to get in. She would go over on her break and get all the nurses on duty a strawberry ice cream. J floor was 10 floor up and the fireworks used to go off about at our level. We would watch the fireworks while eating our strawberry ice in the evening. Great memories. I was a nurse for 43 years and 7JS was the best ward I ever worked in. Great staff and teamwork.
I was watching them being made & they were so popular. I think they were better than the real ones from the show. 🍓 🍓 🍓
Aw that’s lovely
I've always thought the food at RBWH is outstanding. I bet their Ekka sundaes are bigger than the original ones! 😅
Well done Food Services - such a lovely thought to a bring the Ekka to RBWH
Great
Great work Food Services team!!
So good
Have one for me mmm
Great work 👏
What a lovely thing to do for patients.
I remember as a child I was a cancer patient when the children’s hospital was still part of RBH at Herston. The Ekka looked very fun and I really wanted to walk over and have fun there! No such luck! It would cheer everyone up immensely having a sundae! Great idea 🙂
I saw them on the meal trays whilst working on Tuesday, they looked delicious! Good job Food Services 🙌🏼🍓🍦
Well done RBWH Food Services!! These small treats make all the difference 💗
Well done MNHHS this is a lovely idea!

One birth is special but four is unforgettable. 👶👶👶👶
Midwife Rebecca will never forget the moment she helped deliver a set of quadruplets at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital (RBWH) in 2022.
Transferred from Sunshine Coast University Hospital late at night in threatened labour, the babies' mum arrived to a team who had been preparing for weeks.
With four resuscitaires and 21 staff on deck — including paediatricians, NICU nurses and midwives — each baby had a dedicated team ready to care for them the moment they arrived.
“It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Rebecca said.
“We even had name labels on our scrubs so we knew exactly which baby we were caring for!”
Thanks to expert planning and teamwork, four tiny baby girls were born safely via caesarean section, each weighing just under 1.1kg.
“Every birth is unique, but this one was truly special,” said Rebecca.
Crazy it would be so hard!
This is awesome! 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Well done 👏 ✔️
Wow, this is indeed an unforgettable story! 👶👶👶👶
Awwww, Evelyn Lynch
Four girls how fabulous!
Great work keep going
And all four babies are doing well??
It can be easy to reach for artificial energy when you're short on sleep, but did you know that energy drinks could be putting you at risk of too much B6? 🥤💥
RBWH Research Coordinator and Senior Dietitian Carrie-Anne is working on a research initiative led by PA Hospital, looking at B6 toxicity, which can lead to weakness, numbness, and pain.
"The high levels of caffeine and highly processed nature of energy drinks are known not to be part of a healthy diet, but we are now discovering they also contain high levels of B6," she said.
"B6 is an important vitamin for healthy metabolism, but in large doses can increase the risk of peripheral neuropathy, and we are starting to learn that energy drinks and vitamins and mineral supplements like magnesium can lead to this toxicity.
"If you want a hit of caffeine, it may be safer to choose a tea or a coffee, and you should always introduce vitamin and mineral supplements with a health professional and ensure you have regular blood tests." 💊☕
Hang on Metro North Health. "...and multivitamins like magnesium can lead to this toxicity". Magnesium isn't a multivitamin, or even a vitamin, it's a mineral. Many people take magnesium for muscle pains and sleep issues. Is Carrie-Anne saying that magnesium is implicated in toxicity? Or do you mean magnesium supplements that also contain added B6? Or have you misquoted her? Some clarity would be good for the many people currently using magnesium.
I..... Can’t stop believing in natural remedies because it cures me from diverticulitis , I'm speaking from experience when I say that pills don't always work for everyone. I've had this terrible Pains issue for a long time, but it wasn’t until I found herbal herbalist ocoder medication on Facebook that recommended natural remedies to treat my diverticulitis.
