Tahlia has her sights set on a 3D printing future

6 September 2023|

Biomedical education and research assistant, Isabel, is one of the Herston Biofabrication Institute’s (HBI) biggest advocates. The first of its kind, HBI is changing the way we approach medicine with 3D scanning, printing, modelling of bone, cartilage and human tissue and Isabel is eager to share that knowledge with the next generation. 

All roads lead to care

The Prince Charles Hospital has expanded their Short Stay Treatment Area within the Emergency Department, meaning more capacity to care for the growing North Brisbane community! 🙌

TPCH Emergency Medicine Staff Specialist Francesco “Joe” Passantino said short stay units are used for patients who require additional monitoring without the need for hospital admission.

“We treat a range of patients in our Short Stay Treatment Area including mild concussions, elderly patients who have had a fall, or patients requiring short-term IV antibiotics.”

“The refurbishment allows us to spend extra time with these patients before deciding next steps, and also improves our ability to move patients through the emergency department more effectively.” 🥰

Geoff's life changed in an instant when he received a shock diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis four and a half years ago. 🫁

Pulmonary fibrosis is essentially scarring of the lungs and there are many types. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is the term used when the cause of the disease is not known.

Lucky for Geoff, he has been put on a clinical trial at TPCH; with nurse Cathy there for support and education, as they try to slow down the process of this life threatening and complex disease.

"Looking back, I was short of breath for a while, but didn’t realise there was something wrong. I just persevered and pushed through," Geoff said.

"The benefit of being in this trial means I can ring Cathy at any time with any questions I might have. There is no cure, but the hope is to halt it from progressing."

"I spent a lot of time on the water as a young boy and never used sun protection. My right arm was amputated just below the shoulder in 2010 due to melanoma. I never liked the prosthetic, its in the cupboard. My hobby is making miniature models. I've made the titanic its 1.1m long, a Spitfire plane and Mustang. The Titanic took me 2 years! I've learnt to be patient. I sit down and say to myself there's a lot of people worst off than what you are. Get your act together, brush yourself off and get into it."
