Christmas cheer arrived early at Redcliffe Hospital as Santa made a special stop to the Paediatric Emergency Department to visit our youngest patients! 🎅✨Tyson was particularly excited to see Santa while in hospital. "I saw some commotion and then next thing you knew Santa was coming round the corner, I was very excited, I told him what presents I want this year." Thank you to RBWH Foundation and everyone who helped make this visit so special. 🎄❤️
The Paediatric ward in the Redcliffe Hospital are amazing, my son was in there for Christmas last year and they went above and beyond for the kids in their care .
Who was Santa?
❤️😍
Our RBWH medical imaging service provides imaging for emergency, acute inpatient and outpatient services and performs over 200,000 examinations each year.
Tim, Damon and Ashleigh work in the department and are part of a team that provide 24/7 medical imaging services to the hospital.
"We get to work with patients from basically all areas of the hospital with such a varied case mix. I love that our work is highly specialised," Tim said.
RBWH is looking for its registered nurse superstar to join the medical imaging team. If this sounds like you, apply here: smartjobs.qld.gov.au/jobs/QLD-RBH609846 #WorkforusWednesday
You guys rock 👌

Tomorrow is a special day for twins Cooper and Bradman, who turn 18 on the 18th, after being born at just 24 weeks.
The boys recently returned to the RBWH NICU where they spent their first few months of life to say hello to some familiar faces who cared for them.
Babies born at 24 weeks face significant challenges, but advancements in neonatal units mean more babies born early are getting greater care and doing well. For this duo, they have gone on to do incredible things, with both set to study at university next year where they are considering economics degrees paired with computer science and commerce respectively.
For Cooper, seeing a 24-week-old baby on his recent visit was eye-opening.
"To see this in person, it puts it into perspective to see just how small and fragile we were and shows how far we have come," he said. 🤗
Thank you to all the staff that helped organise this visit. It was emotional! The care of all the amazing staff in the NICU allowed us to defy the odds and for our boys to show that despite their fragile start, the world is still their oyster! The NICU is a confronting and isolating environment for new parents, especially given the lack of media coverage of what the risks are and what is involved in caring for these tiny babies. It is comforting to recognise the experience, knowledge and care the staff at RWBH have in ensuring these babies have the best outcomes. Thank you again for providing us the opportunity to be a family that includes 2 amazing young men x
Well done & Happy 18th Birthday to you.both! 🎊🎁🎉🎈
What an amazing, miraculous story! Well done young men
April is one of our social workers at Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital working in domestic and family violence. She has worked with women and children for almost 30 years and knows that Christmas isn’t always a joyful time for families.
“The expectation is that Christmas is a happy, family focussed time – but not everyone is safe at home and the pressures of Christmas – spending more time together, financial pressure and increase alcohol intake can make things worse for them,” April said.
“The pressure never justifies the behaviour, but it can exacerbate violence and control, and it can also make it hard for people to reach out for help when they feel everyone is having a happy time around them.
“We have our social workers on at RBWH 24/7 and emergency and support services for DFV will not close over the holidays, so there will be people working hard to make sure support is available.”
If you need support, you can contact 1800 RESPECT.
What about Men who suffer with DV Or isn't that an issue?
Beautiful photo! Thank you for all the hard work you and your staff do for everyone affected by domestic and family violence 💕
April and the DFV team (and all of the Social Work team at the RBWH) do amazing work to advocate and support people in need. Thank you April for sharing a very small snippet of all you and your team does.
