🦴 When it comes to healthy skeletons, RBWH registrar Dr Lachie makes no bones about looking after yours as a top priority, especially as our population ages.
During his term with the Geriatric Evaluation and Management Service (GEMS) team at Caboolture Hospital, Dr Lachie saw a number of patients whose undiagnosed osteoporosis was contributing to preventable injuries and possibly landing them in hospital.
🩺 Dr Lachie's interests in prevention as well as community-based rehabilitation play an important part in a patient's recovery, and he believes that prevention is the best medicine.
"Fractures from small falls are considered minimal trauma, and these falls from a standing height are sometimes the first indication of osteoporosis," he says.
"While treatment is easily managed, prevention is a much better way to avoid long-term problems."
"Having a good, continuous relationship with your GP and getting regular health checks as well as keeping active are the best preventative measures."
Great bloke! Great doctor!
Oh my gosh, this is the most beautiful, wholesome bunch of comments I’ve ever seen on a fb post! So refreshing. Dr Lachie sounds amazing and very much loved 🥰
What a legend!
Smashing goals Lachie. Patients in your hands are blessed and you are an asset to your team.
He's the man. It's as simple as that 🙌🙌
Loved working with you at Caboolture, Lauchie, such a compassionate doctor xxx

A great Reg indeed. Lachie continues to passionately contribute what is best for Geriatric population. Hope he comes back to Caboolture Hospital someday.

Queenslanders know there's no place like home. Luckily for students studying to become Nuclear Medicine Scientists, they now have an opportunity to complete their studies in the sunshine state. 🏠💓
Queensland Health has partnered with @rmituniversity to offer Queensland students studying Nuclear Medicine opportunities with three Metro North Health teams as part of the Embedded Students Program.
RBWH Technical Director of Nuclear Medicine Travis is excited to provide training and cutting-edge healthcare opportunities for students, with RBWH and TPCH currently taking applications for the 2026 program.
"We're excited to open the doors to Queenslanders who haven't been able to undertake Nuclear Medicine studies previously due to geographical limitations," Travis shared.
"Both school leavers and mature aged students have had no choice but to be away from their families in the past, which is a hard decision to make."
Alexander from TPCH understands the need for a local workforce to have access to the program, especially as the demand for services and the aging population increases.
"We've been looking at ways to improve access for students and recruit locals, as we want to train people who want to work in their community."
Scholarships of up to $15,000 per year are available for eligible students enrolled in the program. Click here for more information: www.health.qld.gov.au/ahwac/html/cet/nms-embedded-student-program
Such an exciting opportunity! One of the most innovative and rapidly advancing areas of medicine 🤩.
