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." ...

Twins Elizabeth and Elliott were born on Monday, three weeks early - spending their first few days apart before being reunited on the ward yesterday. 💗

Elizabeth went to Special Care for a few days for low blood sugar and low weight, but Mum and Elliott were down to see her every three hours at least!

Keeping the twins together was a key priority for both Mum and the RBWH midwives, who knew how much they wanted to stay close.

"I was so excited to have them both back with me so we can have cuddles all together," Mum said, who can`t wait to take them home to the rest of the family. 💖

Around 2-3 per cent of births in Australia are twins, who have a rare and special connection with each other. 👯 ...

With 18 years of experience under his belt, you can only begin to imagine the number of lives TPCH Patient Service Officer Matt has touched in that time.

Matt is placed in the Cardiac Investigations Unit, where he enjoys building rapport with regular patients who come in for treatment.

"Some of the more memorable patients love to banter with me during State of Origin, and it’s especially fun when they barrack for New South Wales!" he said.

“I enjoy working in a great team, both in patient services and in the CIU, and know it’s important to do my work well so clinical staff can focus on direct patient care."

A vacancy in Patient Support Services is available now, so check out the link in our bio to join this wonderful team. ...
