"I used to love reading a good murder mystery and sewing my own clothes. We didn't have kids of our own, but I made all the clothes for myself and our three great-nieces. These days it's puzzles and code crackers that keep my brain going; it's good because you can pick them up and put them back down. I was a telephonist with Telstra from 1966 until the 90's and used to socialise often. I still enjoy visiting friends with my husband; it's important to mix around with others and find a day each week to get out and be social."

Patients with a range of serious health conditions are now much closer to innovative therapies and medical devices, thanks to a new Clinical Trials Centre at The Prince Charles Hospital. 🔬📝

It’s the first time in Queensland and only the second time in Australia that a centre of this kind has been built within a hospital, rather than as a standalone facility.

Assistant Nursing Director Jenny is excited about the life-changing opportunities the new centre can offer, not only for our patients who want to take part in trials, but also in freeing up hospital capacity to treat acutely unwell people. ✅🙌

“The new centre can offer investigator‑initiated and industry‑sponsored drug and device trials, observational studies and registries,” Jenny said.

“Evidence-based studies give patients access to new opportunities that will improve the health outcomes for patients at TPCH, Metro North Health and across Queensland.”

If you`re looking for inspiration from a master of mind and fitness, Jamie is the guy to keep an eye on! 💪 🙂‍↕️

Jamie is one of our Security team who has worked at Caboolture Hospital and now at the Satellite Health Centre.

Jamie`s fitness was in his words, below average, and at an age when most people`s health begins to decline, he took it upon himself to turn his attitude to fitness around. The result? Entering into the Masters League competition for over 35-year-olds and being name the fittest in Queensland in the 50+ years category last year. 🏆

"I want simply to help all Metro North Health employees and the public to understand that we @qldhealth, can be more of a positive part in people`s lives with the right attitude," he said.

👏Shoutout Saturday to Jamie for his commitment to health, both personally and professionally.

Rhys was in his early twenties when his touch football game turned into a life-altering emergency. ⚕️⚡

Rhys had a cardiac arrest on the field and only then discovered he had a condition that would eventually require a heart transplant, with his operation making him the 500th recipient at TPCH.

He is now a Community Ambassador for the Prince Charles Hospital Foundation @thecommongoodau and was onsite as they celebrated their 40th anniversary this week. 🎉🙌

"There were so many times when research saved my life," Rhys shares.

"It gets better over time, it`ll go on to save even more - the impact research will have in the future is enormous."
