From working in a 14-bed cottage hospital in Scotland to leading nurse-run hepatology clinics at Metro North, Val is always dedicated to the patient experience, no matter where she is. 👩⚕️
Val’s day to day at TPCH consists of coordinating care pathways and referrals, collaborating with gastroenterology and pharmacy and leading nurse-run hepatology clinics that manage approximately 140 patients per month to support timely diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment initiation.
“What matters most to me is that patients can access scans, diagnosis, prognosis information, and treatment plans without unnecessary delays,” Val said.
“It’s important that every patient feels informed, supported, and understood.”
Having completed her Master of Nurse Practitioner at the end of 2025, Val is looking forward to some more free time outside of work.
👏 Shoutout Saturday to Val and her fantastic work in TPCH Hepatology.
Val is a wonderful nurse! Congratulations on finishing your studies!!
Another amazing Nurse Practitioner for Brisbane!
Val! You're the bestest!!! Yay NPnow! Congrats ❤️
Val is amazing! TPCH are very lucky to have her ❤️
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Val. Such a strong patient advocate. An amazing nurse and now an NP! 🌟
Whilst many hearts will be won with roses and chocolate today, the Cardiothoracic Surgery team at TPCH are focused on something even more powerful - giving hearts a second chance at life! ❤️
Dr Nikunj, a Cardiothoracic Surgeon at TPCH says that heart transplants make up some of his most complicated yet rewarding work, not only due to the extreme precision required but also the levels of coordination necessary amongst the team.
“Being a part of the most profound act of altruism that the donor has agreed to, often the recipient has run out of all the options medical science has to offer and this is their final hope," he said.
“Not many cardiac surgeons get to do transplants, it is the pinnacle of cardiac surgery.
“You as a donor save one life, but the patient's whole family is impacted, and it improves everyone’s life.”
A big Shoutout Saturday to Dr Nikunj and the TPCH team on their work with our cardiac patients, and to all the organ donors out there. 🫀👏
God Bless you all and Thankyou for what do for the patients their loved ones and and of the the donars and their families too❤️
The best team! Thank you for what you do.
God bless this amazing team
I may not have had heart problems but had surgery for cancer there. Dr Yang as amazing finding every way to see where my cancer was and Dr Nadoo did an amazing surgery removing the top lobe of my right lung. Without this pair of amazing drs at the TPCH I may not be here today. I thank God and them every day. 🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗
From a young age, new graduate Kate always knew she wanted to follow in her dad Nathan's footsteps. Now she is starting her new role in palliative care just like her dad did 20 years ago! 🫶
Kate's decision to go into palliative care was solidified after her placement at TPCH in the specialty.
"I looked up to my dad, making a difference in people's lives, being a part of their life story," she said.
Nathan says how it is special to see his daughter follow the same path through Metro North.
"I'm still at Redcliffe Hospital, they are a great team, and we all support each other and work together to make a difference for our patients and families."
What an inspirational role model Dad must be. It’s a true “work of heart” and it sounds as if the profession is blessed to have you both. Welcome!
Congrats Kate and Nathan
Get it girl!! Miss you already Kate xxxx

“There were eight kids in the family, very adventurous days, and seven of us are still alive. When Dad was working out at Burramine doing fencing, we got a visit, but his work saved us from being part of the stolen generation. We were always in contact with community."
💭 Monday Mantra, TPCH Cardiac patient Clive, a proud Yorta Yorta man.
If you're being admitted to TPCH, one of the first friendly faces you're likely to meet is Michelle! 🎉😍
Michelle has supported patients at the Prince Charles Hospital for 40 years, joining the team fresh out of high school.
She spent time in a number of Units including X-ray, the Ellen Barron Centre, Admissions, and the ED, and has spent the last 25 years in Pre-Admissions, where patients come in for Orthopaedic, General Surgery or Cardiology procedures.
"I have had a lot of “thank you, great work”, “love your smile” and "God Bless you” in my time, and the occasional knitted teddy bear or tea towels," she said, reflecting on her experiences with patients.
"Prince Charles holds a special place in my heart because it was here that I met my late husband, and now years later, our son works here too.
"One day I will retire and relax, babysit, throw in a couple of cruises and look back on my time at Prince Charles with fond memories, life-long friends and a lot of tea towels!"
👏 Shoutout Saturday to one of our long-serving friendly faces, Michelle. 🚢💐
Woohoo 🎉 congratulations on 40 years Michelle. 🏅
My wife Maureen and I had the pleasure of working with you in the early days when your late husband was still with us, and over the years. Congratruations on your recognition.Always kind and smiling.

The team at TPCH are getting to the root of dental health problems for our eligible patients! 🦷
A new TPCH Dental Clinic is now open for current inpatients who may have an urgent dental need that are impacting on their medical treatment whilst at TPCH.
One of our main cohorts are cardiac patients who may require sudden heart valve surgery and must be deemed 'dentally fit' before their treatment.
Dr Arnella and Dental Assistant Yuki share why it is important for our cardiac patients to be seen on site before surgery.
“We want to ensure there’s no active infection in the mouth that can go into the bloodstream and affect the new heart valves,” Dr Arnella said.
“Getting patients off campus for treatment is a complicated process, logistically it’s a lot safer to stay on site.”
Such an amazing difference it must make to impatients.Well done TPCH for the great addition to your services.
This is amazing!!!! A great team looking after those in urgent need.
Great job guys 👏 👏
Fantastic initiative 🩷
Such a great team! Well Done Ladies!🦷🪥
