Senior Medical Officer and Head and Neck Specialist Andrew explains how flexible working arrangements and collaborative team culture allows the team to produce the best results for patients.

"We are all travelling along this life and career journey together, we learn things from the young ones all the time. There is a real mentor and mentee relationship," he said.

"Occasionally we will all huddle around an interesting case, where everyone can learn from each other and collaborate. We also mix with a lot of clinicians that ask us questions and provide us information to make our reports better.

"We deal with such a wide variety of things, you’re not going to be pigeonholed into one specialty. It`s very `choose your own adventure` and if you have a specific strength that you are interested in, we can help facilitate that through teamwork and sharing the workload."

The beautiful hand-knitted bears given to little patients like Masie are made by volunteers, including 102-year-old Dale, the mother of paediatric ED Doctor Faye.

"We come to the hospital a bit, but this makes it more fun and takes the pressure off," said Masie`s Mum, Chelyce. 🫶

"We can`t always go home straight away as we wait for tests, so this is a good distraction for Masie." ...

"I`m originally from Monto, there`s not much out that way. I transferred from Monto to Bundaberg and then Bundaberg to here. Advice for my younger self would be to accept the help and don`t try to be the perfect mum, it won`t work. I thought I could go back to being a normal mum right after my c-section. But when they say that all your pain disappears when you hear the baby cry for the first time, well, it really does."
