Phone calls to hospitals don't stop over Christmas, and Peter and the switchboard team at TPCH can testify to that. 🎄

This busy team are taking up to 7,000 internal and external calls per day, patching through to patients, staff, other facilities on campus, plus providing advice on various topics.

If you have a loved one in hospital on Christmas Day, you can call TPCH switch on 3139 4000 and ask to be put through. 📞

"On Christmas Day we will try to change our greeting to "Merry Christmas, The Prince Charles Hospital," Peter said.

"We get such a wide variety of calls that require empathy and understanding, and also knowledge of random things like bus timetables, accommodation in the area, and florists."

#ShoutoutSaturday👏 to Peter and the TPCH Switch team.

"I am from the UK, I was born in Scotland and I came to Australia while serving in the British Marines. We did an exercise in Shoalwater Bay. I did two postings to Malaya and one to Borneo. I officially moved to Australia in 1970, and met my wife, we've been married for 51 years. I joined the Army Reserves and retired as a Warrant Officer Class Two. I am a member of the Samford Men's Shed, I help to repair all sorts of things like tables and cabinets. It's great for the company and something to get involved in."

We breathe in and out about 22,000 times a day, and are powered by our breathing, which is why TPCH senior respiratory scientist Alanna has made it her career focus. 🫁

A respiratory scientist works with patients who have who have lung, chest wall, airway or blood oxygenation problems by performing tests using a variety of skills and equipment.

Alanna and the team see a diverse range of patients, and offer a suite of respiratory assessments such as spirometry, lung volume measurements, gas transfer, bronchial provocation testing and cardiopulmonary exercise testing.

"Our patients are an interesting group of thoracic and cardiac - we might see a cystic fibrosis patient as a child, to pre-transplant, to post-transplant then right through to adulthood, it's pretty special," Alanna said. 🫶

Receiving an interstitial lung disease diagnosis, which is an umbrella term used for a large group of diseases that cause scarring (fibrosis) of the lungs, can be a complex and challenging process to navigate. 🫁

Sarah is one of the interstitial lung disease nurse coordinators at TPCH, who acts as the point of call for patients and their families, and provides education and support.

"More often than not it's completely life changing," Sarah said.

"We understand this and aim to support patients and their families through the process, and I am here for when the patients need to ask any questions and talk them through their medication and potential side-effects." 🫶

Receiving an interstitial lung disease diagnosis, which is an umbrella term used for a large group of diseases that cause scarring (fibrosis) of the lungs, can be a complex and challenging process to navigate. 🫁

Sarah is one of the interstitial lung disease nurse coordinators at TPCH, who acts as the point of call for patients and their families, and provides education and support. 

More often than not its completely life changing, Sarah said.
