“I cared for my husband for six years before he passed two days before Christmas, but he was no longer in any pain, so it was a blessing. In my earlier career, I worked at a popcorn factory; I ate more than I packed! Before that I was a machinist; I loved making dresses for Christmas, and I even made a special outfit for my dog. I love Christmas - carols especially, Silent Night is my favourite. I moved into a new place for Christmas last year, and I’m looking forward to being there again this year. We have a seven-foot Christmas tree and Santa that will need to be sorted, lucky I can delegate that job to my son to put them up. “
💭Ward 1C patient Denise with Sue, Eat Walk Engage Clinical Assistant at TPCH
I'm a social worker Denise. Have a wonderful Christmas and Sue, I wish you a happy Christmas. Xx
Sue, our lovely Eat Walk Engage assistant has been doing lots of creative Christmas themed activities with patients in hospital - including decorating candy canes with yarn which are featured in this photo.
Bless your heart Denise. Have a wonderful Christmas. 🎄 🌲 🎄 And Sue what beautiful work you do. Whether working or at home I wish you and all those working with compassion to help others, a very happy Christmas. 🎄
Love the job you do Sister, and our little chats now and then when we see each other ❤️🌹
Lovely work sister Sue. Well done. ❤️
That’s our Denise looking good for Christmas xxx
Some of the patient-focussed programs at TPCH are not only bringing our patient's voices to the decision makers but winning awards along the way! 🏆
The Connection and Kinship program looks to connect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and families in the paediatric space with clinicians, to hear their voices and support health equity.
Uncle David, Caroline and Leesa recently met with the award-winning Cultural Capability team, to yarn about their experiences. 💬
"We're happy to have a chance to have our son now being treated through TPCH paediatrics," Uncle David shares.
"It's important to have a voice and to be able to talk about things that affects us."
At the time of the last census, over 40,000 people living in Brisbane said they had difficulty speaking English. This means many of our patients who need the ED might have a language barrier and could find it a little daunting!
🗣️ Fortunately a new trial at TPCH has meant that interpreters are available with the click of a button, as a 24/7 on-demand video and phone interpreting service launches.
Multicultural Officer Madi explains how the trial is providing almost immediate access for patients, in a Queensland-first.
“There are more than 200 different languages spoken in Queensland and one in five people in Metro North speak a language other than English,” Madi said.
“This exciting new trial will allow staff to communicate more effectively and provide better care to patients from multicultural backgrounds at the touch of a button.” 📱
More details about the trial can be found via our newsroom story, link in the comments below. 👇

🚨🚨
Health system is struggling for funding. Why are tax payers paying for interpreters. If non English speaking should pay own interpreters like other countries if don’t speak the language. I don’t think people realise how much interpreters cost tax payers and take away from the health budget. It’s massive
Entry requirement - you must be able to speak English
