“Michael spent over a week in neonatal care and then another nine days in the SCN. We’re here for our final visit as part of the NeoHOME program and we’ve just been discharged. If I could give myself advice before I had Michael, I would say sleep more, get out more, and prepare as early as you can. You don’t realise that you’ll probably be at home for at least eight weeks when the baby is first born.”

An Australia-first Phase-2 clinical trial of a new prostate cancer treatment is underway at RBWH, offering new hope to end-stage metastatic prostate cancer patients.
Clinical Trial Coordinator Jasmine and Director PET Technology Louise are just part of the team working on the trial, which can deliver a powerful blast of radiation to within a fraction of a millimetre of cancer cells, thus leaving healthy cells untouched.
“Accurate, high-quality imaging and precise clinical data improves the reliability of trial results and can accelerate new diagnostic or treatment approvals,” Jasmine shared.
“By combining technical expertise and patient-focussed skills, we ensure trials run smoothly, safely and effectively, which ultimately improves the care and outcomes for patients.”

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 Doctor imose on Facebook that recommended natural remedies to treat my diverticulitis. Attempt to find him 👇👇 Dr imose
I'm so glad I followed natural route. I've also been through rough experience and I found success with naturapathic meds for Neuropathy, UTI, MCAS, and Fibromyalgia.

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.
Chloe MacKellar-Edwards plan B.
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!
Great to see!!!
Midwifery is one of the oldest professions in the world, and still today, one of our most crucial. After all, the midwife might be the first person you ever meet when you are born!

"Supporting women and families through this pivotal moment of their lives is an incredibly rewarding profession," Kellie shares.
"Building trusting relationships and making a difference as our patients transition into parenthood is a job like no other," Sophia added.
RBWH is seeking registered midwives to join Kellie, Sophia and the team. If you want to be part of these special moments at one of the busiest and biggest maternity departments in the state, apply today at the link below. 👇

Best job in the world!!!
Two of the many wonderful midwives we get to work with every shift at the RBWH 💖💖
I will never forget one of the midwives that cared for me at RBWH after I had my baby at the end of 2022. Rachael was so supportive, caring and fun, which is just what I needed in that postpartum period. We had so many laughs that she felt like my bestie for the short time I was there. Midwives are the best!
Midwives are the best! 🫶💕
Yesssss these midwives are QUEENS. 👑🐣🤰🏼👶🏼👩🏼⚕️

Sophia was my home visit midwife and we have nothing but positive things to say about her. She was such a gem and made me feel so comfortable and reassured as a first time mum.
Am so blessed to work beside you every day and am still in awe of the job you do ❤️ midwives are fabulous x
Midwife’s Sabrina and Gina from Logan are absolutely the best. So blessed to have had them as apart of our birth journey for our daughter!

I wanted to be a motor mechanic when I was younger, but I took on an apprenticeship as an upholsterer in Windsor in the 50's and did that until I retired in my early 80's. It's a dying art now that most things are made on a production line. Using your hands and your brain is recommended.

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!
Great to see!!!

Two of the many wonderful midwives we get to work with every shift at the RBWH 💖💖
I will never forget one of the midwives that cared for me at RBWH after I had my baby at the end of 2022. Rachael was so supportive, caring and fun, which is just what I needed in that postpartum period. We had so many laughs that she felt like my bestie for the short time I was there. Midwives are the best!
Midwives are the best! 🫶💕
Yesssss these midwives are QUEENS. 👑🐣🤰🏼👶🏼👩🏼⚕️

"It's no good whinging about what you don't have. I was born here at RBWH, in the ward down near where the tennis courts used to be. I wanted to be a motor mechanic when I was younger, but I took on an apprenticeship as an upholsterer in Windsor in the 50's and did that until I retired in my early 80's. It's a dying art now that most things are made on a production line. Using your hands and your brain is recommended. I can't complain about my life; I'm a very simple man who is grateful for what I've got."
