Helen has some advice to those starting their nursing career - and it's to build your skills and learning as much as you can!

When she started over 31 years ago, Helen wasn't aware of the opportunities that lay ahead of her. She began as a junior in the maternity ward at Caboolture Hospital, and now years on, coordinates the new graduates in the very same facility.

"I never thought I'd be a manager," Helen shares.

"I know that the first year out of Uni is so important as you learn to manage shift work, work/life balance and ensure that you have support, both at home and with your work family.

"There are so many more options than working at the patient bedside. If you build your skills and learn, while exploring diverse pathways, you'll gain so much."

👏 Shoutout Saturday to Helen in Nursing Workforce team, for her decades of service to the Caboolture Hospital and community. ... See MoreSee Less

Some of the patient-focussed programs at TPCH are not only bringing our patient`s voices to the decision makers but winning awards along the way! 🏆

The Connection and Kinship program looks to connect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and families in the paediatric space with clinicians, to hear their voices and support health equity.

Uncle David, Caroline and Leesa recently met with the award-winning Cultural Capability team, to yarn about their experiences. 💬

"We`re happy to have a chance to have our son now being treated through TPCH paediatrics," Uncle David shares.

"It`s important to have a voice and to be able to talk about things that affects us."

Sharing clinical information on behalf of medical professionals requires a deft hand, an interest in medicine and science, and a curious approach. 🧑‍💻

Just as the clinician`s field of expertise is varied, so too are the patients they care for, so they need a supportive team like those in the Clinical Multimedia Unit! 💻🖨️

Graphic Designer Marie explains the variety of projects she oversees as she produces contemporary materials throughout Metro North Health.

"Here at Clinical Multimedia, we handle projects such as scientific poster designs, brochures, flyers as well as custom medical illustrations for clients," Marie shares.

"At the end of the day I feel that I have achieved something if I know that I have helped someone achieve a better outcome."

A vacancy exists for a Medical Illustrator in the Clinical Multimedia Unit, and interested parties are encouraged to check out the link in the comments for more details.
