Local comedian Emma Zammit and her peers are real stand-up people! Last Friday, Emma generously rallied her funniest friends from around Brisbane to bring a bunch of belly laughs to our youth cancer patients at RBWH.
The intimate stand-up comedy night was held at our Sony You Can Centre, and together with Sony Foundation Australia and Ooh! media, our young patients living with cancer were able to escape the hospital for some side-splitting giggles. 🤣
Attendee and Youth Advisory Group Co-Chair Sarah said she loved attending the event.
“It was such a fun and entertaining way to connect with other young people beyond our hospital experiences. Events like this really make a difference to our wellbeing and sense of belonging," Sarah said. 💛
Oh I love her! Fantastic! 👏🏼👏🏼

You don't have to suffer in silence with Allied Health professionals like Carla from RBWH Audiology available to help with your hearing concerns. 👂🦻
While it is a common misconception that hearing loss only affects older people, 1 in 6 Australians across all ages experience hearing loss for a range of reasons including head injuries, stroke, accidents, infections and hereditary conditions.
Audiologist Carla explains how hearing loss can impact a patient, which is why she feels so passionate about working in a diagnostic and rehabilitative space.
“70% of adults over 70 years of age will have a degree of hearing loss that could benefit from hearing aids,” Carla shares.
"The World Health Organisation has stated that hearing loss is the third most burdensome condition in the world ranked only behind back pain and cardiovascular disease."
“The economic burden and impact to quality of life for people with hearing loss is significant, and the social isolation that hearing loss causes can in turn affect people’s mental health.”
If you suspect your hearing needs attention, Carla encourages you to have a conversation with a GP for referral to a specialist. ❤️🩹
Great work Carla
Well done Carla!!
RBWH parents - was your baby a ‘NeoBuddy’ recipient? 🚑
The NeoBuddy is a special keepsake gifted to those families who use the Neo Return service, established in 2020, following a need to coordinate more efficient transfers between tertiary and regional hospitals. 🥰
Neo Return Coordinator Karen said the organic cotton NeoBuddy gifts are a reminder of the journey and the safe transfer of their baby.
"The service is about getting families back closer to home, familiar surroundings, community and other family members,” Karen said.
"The return vehicle, affectionately known as R4LPH (Returning All Little People Home), is also the star of the show on the NeoBuddy that we have created, which was possible with support from the RBWH Foundation."
NeoRETURN is a wonderful service. The NeoBuddy is such a special keepsake for all the little babies returning home 💕
