Cath Lab Nurse Zuzana has been on her own health journey outside the 9-5 at TPCH, recently celebrating being cancer-free after going through breast cancer. 💝

After being given the 'all-clear', Zuzana shared how appreciative of the care and dedication she received, including deciding to grow her hair and shave it to raise over $2000 for breast cancer awareness with all donations going to the BreastScreen clinic in Chermside where her cancer was detected. 🪒👩‍🦲

"When you face the results, your heart and your head stop communicating," Zuzana says.

"It is such a shock, and then you have people in the clinic who organise everything and make appointments with specialists, so you don't have to worry about it.

"I am eternally grateful for everything, and as a healthcare professional, I do appreciate the support and gentle care given to me in this clinic."

Admin relief and casual pool coordinator Kristine is an avid reader can see the benefits of the Book Nook on Level 1, an initiative rolled out to deliver care and support for dementia and delirium patients. 🥰📖

“I love to escape into a book, and this provides the opportunity for patients to find new stories and discover new authors,” says Kristine.

“It’s great to see recommendations from staff and patients through their donations, and the pictures featured on the walls of the old Chermside library bring familiarity that supports patients with dementia who are moving through this area.

“Now I know where I can donate my read books for others to enjoy, because I have so many!”

The Book Nook is supported by @thecommongoodau, an initiative of The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation.
