![After spending eight years as a forensic cleaner, RBWH Patient Support Officer Kathy made the career switch in September 2024 and hasnt looked back.
When I went and did my first deceased clean, I was quite scared, but it actually smelt really familiar; that was my passion at the time before wanting to move into a different environment, Kathy said.
She was inspired to apply after hearing work stories from one of her friends who also works as a Patient Support Officer and felt that it was the right fit for her.
I am based in [Infectious Diseases Unit] Wattlebrae, and the Wattlebrae family just accepted me. The support network is so strong, and we are like a well-oiled machine.
The patients in that ward often stay a long time so I am fortunate to build a good rapport with everyone, I love leaving messages of happiness and healing for the patients.
Ive never once had a bad day in this role, sometimes we have sad days, but Ive never had a bad day.](https://metronorth.health.qld.gov.au/rbwh/wp-content/plugins/custom-facebook-feed-pro/assets/img/placeholder.png)

Listen up, because the RBWH Audiology team is growing, and they are looking for their next superstar Audiologist to support their inpatient and outpatient services! 👂🔊
Senior Audiologist Courtney says working in Audiology at the RBWH for the last four years has enabled her to further broaden her clinical knowledge and experience across a wide patient cohort.
"Choosing audiology for me combined multiple interests into one. I wanted to be in the health field and there is also a counselling aspect to audiology which I was interested in," Courtney said.
"You will get to see a lot more here even compared to other hospitals and private practice because we have such a variety in terms of case load and working in specialised areas.
"There are lots of opportunities for growth in terms of your scope of practice and being able to work closely with other medical specialities."

When words are hard to find, music can fill the gap and hold the power to connect, comfort and heal. 🎶🎧
Metro North’s very own Music Therapist Vlada explains the benefits of Music Therapy and how it is utilised in the RBWH Mental Health Centre.

Ive always enjoyed sitting with her and sharing our songs together. Thank you so much Vlada, im forever grateful that you have been there for me during some of my worst times.

Executive Chef Reed who is repping Algeria and Chef David who is originally from Venezuela but is cheering on Brazil are two of the passionate supporters leading the friendly fire and banter.
"Football is a big part of culture in South America, we live and breathe it, and we love to celebrate with our friends," David said.
"[The decorations] adds to the team culture, we have a lot of passionate supporters which makes for a lot of happiness and fun," Reed added.
