From working in a 14-bed cottage hospital in Scotland to leading nurse-run hepatology clinics at Metro North, Val is always dedicated to the patient experience, no matter where she is. 👩‍⚕️

Val’s day to day at TPCH consists of coordinating care pathways and referrals, collaborating with gastroenterology and pharmacy and leading nurse-run hepatology clinics that manage approximately 140 patients per month to support timely diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment initiation.

“What matters most to me is that patients can access scans, diagnosis, prognosis information, and treatment plans without unnecessary delays,” Val said.

“It’s important that every patient feels informed, supported, and understood.”

Having completed her Master of Nurse Practitioner at the end of 2025, Val is looking forward to some more free time outside of work.

Medical imaging just got a whole lot better and faster at the Herston Imaging Research Facility (HIRF). 🩻

The new CimaX MRI scanner is producing much higher resolution images than previous machines and has already scanned over 100 patients since November 2025.

Operations Manager Marita and Senior MRI Radiographer Clare are excited for this new technology and what it will mean for developments in the research and in future, the clinical space.

“HIRF is a translational site between research and clinical practice. We are performing the trials and testing protocols before transitioning into clinical procedures,” said Clare.

The CimaX scanner will be integral for researchers and clinicians to expand their knowledge into many areas which affect the brain including Parkinson’s, Dementia, tumours, and even studying brain connections for certain mental health conditions. 🧠

Your spine supports you every day, so let’s return the favour and check in with your posture. 🧍

Not only does good posture help you stand taller, but it also prevents back pain, improves breathing, and helps maintain your natural spine alignment.

Nurse Cara from the RBWH Neurosurgery ward is reminding everyone to consider your posture whether you’re at work or relaxing as small adjustments can make a big difference.
