RBWH Foundation Giving Day 2020<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s official! The countdown is on to Royal Giving Day 2021. RBWH Foundation is excited to announce the 24-hour fundraising appeal will be held on Wednesday, June 23.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The inaugural Raise it for the Royal<\/strong> was held in 2019 and raised just over $500,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain in 2021, every dollar donated to Raise it for the Royal<\/strong> will be doubled thanks to the generosity of our Matched Donors,\u201d said RBWH Foundation CEO Simone Garske.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat means every dollar makes twice the impact on RBWH patient care initiatives, medical and clinician-led research, and any additional staff training and education programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

RBWH staff can also expect the return of the competitive Royal Giving Day Cup. Details about how Departments can compete for this year\u2019s honours will be revealed in coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Some of the research projects supported through Royal Giving Day 2019 included:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Non-surgical multidisciplinary management of knee osteoarthritis in tertiary care<\/li>\n
  • Ideal catheter to vein ratio parameters for peripheral venous and midline devices<\/li>\n
  • Imaging and DNA markers for non-penetrating traumatic brain injury<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    A range of patient friendly initiatives were also funded such as patient lounge upgrades, therapy dog visits, the Stairwell Music Project\u2019s live music sessions, and sound equipment and a Spotify account for the hospital\u2019s front foyer.<\/p>\n

    \u201cRaise it for the Royal is Queensland\u2019s chance to say thank you to each and every person who works hard every day to make RBWH the world-class health institute it is,\u201d said Ms Garske.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe day is also a chance for Team Royal to stand up and be proud of the hospital and its achievements – and have a lot of fun along the way!\u201d<\/p>\n

    Expect more details in weeks to come about how RBWH staff can be involved and Raise it for the Royal!<\/p>\n<\/div>
