Donation Specialist Nurse, Barb knows that conversations about death can be difficult, but has seen firsthand how they sometimes lead to the ultimate gift of kindness for others. ❤️‍🩹

Barb is a nurse of 36 years, starting her journey as a student. Over the years, she has built many relationships with patients and their loved ones at Redcliffe and Caboolture hospitals. 🥰

"My main role is supporting families and staff within the ICU when we can offer organ donation," she shares.

"I have talked with many families and heard stories of their loved ones' wish to donate."

"It warms my heart when I can help a family as they move through their own grief to give consent for organ and tissue donation."

💞 Steve made the decision to donate his wife's organs after they had conversations before her untimely passing in 2022, and he continues to advocate for this important cause.

"Around eight in ten families say yes to donation when they know their family member is on the donor register, but this drops to four in ten when they don't know if their family member wanted to donate," Steve says.

"It's so important to have the conversation with your family, as well as registering, because while four in five people support organ donation, only one in three are registered."

"I've been humbled by the support our family have received from the Donate Life team and encourage everyone to have the conversation today."

Honoured to have worked with you Barb!

Nicely done Steve and the always fabulous Barb 👏👏👏 DonateLife 🩷

Barb is both Wonderful and inspiring.

Organ donation means a lot to me and my family as my father donated his organs earlier in the year. We received incredible support from the donate life team at SCUH

Absolute legends! Always have the conversation. It's so important

Did my Training with Barbara Williams she’s a fab person to have on the team ❤️

Lovely story Barb they are very lucky to have you on the team 🥰💕

💕🌹🌷💐🌺💜🙏

This is a conversation everyone should have with loved ones. I wish Australia would adopt an Opt Out policy so that donation was a given, respecting the rights of people to opt out if they so desired. Think of how many more lives could be saved by this simple act. 

Celebrity Barbara!!!!

Legend Barb, great work ❤️

Thanks Barb. I friend of mine recently received an organ donation and it's changed her life. Thank you to all donors and their families xx

Fantastic work Barb Barbara Williams 💕

Thank you for all you do Barb Barbara Williams 😘😘

Barbara Williams 💕💕💕💕

Steve Pardey 💎

Barb is an amazing asset to our team. It takes very special people to be able to have these conversations. Thank you to all the donation specialists nurses.

On International Security Officers Day, we acknowledge those that de-escalate sticky situations to keep the staff and hospital community safe. 🤩

Peninsula born and bred local Lachlan has been a Security Officer at Redcliffe Hospital for six years, and his quick thinking and expert skills keep staff and patients out of harm's way while they are in our care.

“People are in hospital for many different reasons,” Lachlan said.

“We often deal with people who are highly stressed or agitated, it’s very rewarding when you manage to engage with these people to de-escalate a situation and help them understand that hospital staff are there to help them.”

“It’s fair to say that no two days are the same and I really enjoy the variety the job brings.”

💓 Thanks to Lachlan and all our security team members for the important role they play in looking after our hospital community.

When it comes to leadership in nursing, having a shared vision and delivering exceptional care are important attributes to learn. ❤️‍🩹

A group of Metro North Nurse and Midwifery Unit Managers are taking part in the I-CARE #BraverLeaders Program, led by the renowned Professor Brian Dolan OBE, a nursing expert with a 30+ year career in healthcare.

🚶‍➡️ Professor Brian is the originator of the @endpjparalysis campaign and the #Last1000days concept and has created a social movement in healthcare providing leadership strategies for health professionals.

ICU Nurse Unit Managers Gary from Redcliffe Hospital and Liz from TPCH were lucky to take part in the Braver Leaders program and to spend time with Professor Brian as he shared important guidance and strategies. 🤗

"Patient's time is the most valuable currency in healthcare," Professor Dolan shared.

"Let's make very minute count."

Meet patient Geoffrey. He's affectionately known as 'Wombat' and has called STARS home since January. 👋

When he leaves hospital, he is looking forward to getting back to the Redcliffe and District Amateur Radio Club, where he is the logbook administrator.

“I’ve been involved in amateur radio clubs for many years. I love being able to talk to people all over the world, from the Maldives to Turkey to Illinois. We talk about our previous working lives, our hobbies and other interests.”

“Many of the Americans I talk to are really interested in our native animals, which is also a love of mine. I particularly like macropods, but also the platypus and, of course, the wombat.”

Despite his health challenges, Geoffrey remains optimistic about the future. 🥰

“You just have to stay positive and think about getting better. My motto is from Monty Python’s Life of Brian, ‘Always look on the bright side of life’.”

“There are a lot of people worse off than me.”

All The Credit of my recovery : Should go to all firstly the Neurosurgical Team at the RBWH, They were Brilliant . Then I had Awesome Doctors and Exceptional Nurses of Ward 4A in STARS , also the Delightful Angie , Dan, Ashlee and the rest of the Wonderful Physio and OT Teams . They are all STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️in my eyes.

Onya Wombat. Keep your chin up. I wish you more of that strength and resilience that has got you through to now. Keep going beautiful soul.

Geoff, you were one of my favourite patients! I’m so glad to see you doing so well.

Good attitude to have wombat

Thanks for sharing a bit about your journey and approach Wombat! I didn't know there was amateur radio clubs - sounds great!

When it comes to leadership in nursing, having a shared vision and delivering exceptional care are important attributes to learn. ❤️‍🩹

A group of Metro North Nurse and Midwifery Unit Managers are taking part in the I-CARE #BraverLeaders Program, led by the renowned Professor Brian Dolan OBE, a nursing expert with a 30+ year career in healthcare.

🚶‍➡️ Professor Brian is the originator of the @endpjparalysis campaign and the #Last1000days concept and has created a social movement in healthcare providing leadership strategies for health professionals.

ICU Nurse Unit Managers Gary from Redcliffe Hospital and Liz from TPCH were lucky to take part in the Braver Leaders program and to spend time with Professor Brian as he shared important guidance and strategies. 🤗

"Patient's time is the most valuable currency in healthcare," Professor Dolan shared.

"Let's make very minute count."

Meet patient Geoffrey. He's affectionately known as 'Wombat' and has called STARS home since January. 👋

When he leaves hospital, he is looking forward to getting back to the Redcliffe and District Amateur Radio Club, where he is the logbook administrator.

“I’ve been involved in amateur radio clubs for many years. I love being able to talk to people all over the world, from the Maldives to Turkey to Illinois. We talk about our previous working lives, our hobbies and other interests.”

“Many of the Americans I talk to are really interested in our native animals, which is also a love of mine. I particularly like macropods, but also the platypus and, of course, the wombat.”

Despite his health challenges, Geoffrey remains optimistic about the future. 🥰

“You just have to stay positive and think about getting better. My motto is from Monty Python’s Life of Brian, ‘Always look on the bright side of life’.”

“There are a lot of people worse off than me.”

All The Credit of my recovery : Should go to all firstly the Neurosurgical Team at the RBWH, They were Brilliant . Then I had Awesome Doctors and Exceptional Nurses of Ward 4A in STARS , also the Delightful Angie , Dan, Ashlee and the rest of the Wonderful Physio and OT Teams . They are all STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️in my eyes.

Onya Wombat. Keep your chin up. I wish you more of that strength and resilience that has got you through to now. Keep going beautiful soul.

Geoff, you were one of my favourite patients! I’m so glad to see you doing so well.

Good attitude to have wombat

Thanks for sharing a bit about your journey and approach Wombat! I didn't know there was amateur radio clubs - sounds great!
