David and his partner Siobhan will be spending a special Father's Day in the RBWH NICU with baby Sonny, who arrived ahead of schedule at 28 weeks. 🍼🧑🍼
The trio are far from home, hailing from a property at Emu Park near Yeppoon, but are taking each day as it comes - and looking forward to getting home when Sonny is ready.
"We were hoping to have Sonny at Rockhampton hospital, but he must have wanted to be a Brisbane born boy like me," David shares.
"We've had little steps of progress, and the wonderful nurses say it's a marathon not a sprint.
"For now, it's about the little things, so I'm looking forward to a Fathers' Day cuddle." 👶💗
Happy Father's Day David, and Happy Father's Day to all the dads in the Metro North Health community. 💝
See you when you come home Sonny. Tick all the boxes & kick all the goals.
Happy Fathers Day ❤️
I was born in Brisbane same hospital in 1990 at 27 weeks.
Happy fathers day. Hope you can bring him closer to home soon.
Congratulations to you all you will be home before you know it good luck
We recently spent 107 days at the RBWH NICU and SCN with our twin girls and the care was amazing. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about the nurses and doctors that saved our girls lives 💕
Congratulations ❤️
Love to you all ..and happy fathers day
Happy Birthday Sonny. Only the best people have Sept 7 as a birthday. 🥰😉
Glad to see little Sonny doing well David and Bonnie! All those extra days counted!
Love and strength to you both, our babe was born at 33 wks at the RBWH and also had a lengthy stay in the NICU, we are a Gladstone family but there was another beautiful family from Yeppoon who also shared a room with us. Its a time full of ups and downs but the team at RBWH are amazing and our little fighters they honestly grow up to be the strongest little bubs you ever did meet! ❤️

The RBWH radiology team are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to support clinical decisions in medical imaging. 🩻
AI-powered software trials are now underway, providing an extra layer of imaging that can detect up to 124 findings on a single chest X-ray.
Our expert radiologists will inspect all images and will continue to create and finalise reports, with AI findings to complement the radiologist's work.
Metro North Health Chief Digital Health Officer Dr Jason said RBWH is the first public health facility in Australia to trial the AI decision support software feature. 🥇🩺
"The trial has the potential to identify service and clinical benefits that will enable clinicians to make accurate decisions faster," he said.

Well done JB and Shiv!

Noor and Steph are part of a dedicated team of pharmacists specialising in women's and newborn health, providing inpatient care as well as a specialist outpatient service at RBWH. 💞
For some women, the idea of falling pregnant can be challenging and stressful, especially if they are prescribed medication that they may not be certain is safe for their baby.
Noor said pharmacists in the outpatient clinic support women for a range of concerns from mental health through to treatments relating to cardiac conditions, transplant, epilepsy and infectious diseases. The pharmacist collaborates closely with medical and midwifery teams to provide evidence-based advice to ensure the best outcome for mothers and their babies. 🤰
“We provide advice and counselling for mothers on a full spectrum of conditions from pre-conception and throughout their antenatal journey. We work with patients who come through RBWH, as well as other clinicians in the community to provide specialist advice relating to any of these concerns,” she said.
Steph said the outpatient clinic also provides opportunity to administer antenatal vaccinations to protect women against contagious respiratory illnesses during their pregnancy.
“We opportunistically administer approx. 600 vaccines a year as part of our care for patients who may not get another chance to get their vaccinations.”
Fantastic team. Love working with both of these fabulous ladies ❤️
