For TPCH ICU nurse Nadine, helping others less fortunate than herself is a passion. That’s why two years ago, she joined Mercy Ships, the world's largest non-governmental hospital ship that provides free surgical care and training to developing nations in Africa.
Nadine recently returned from eight weeks in Sierra Leone, Africa, for the second time in two years, providing nursing care to hundreds of adults and children with health conditions and ailments not treatable through the local healthcare system.
For the humanitarian nurse, using her skills to help disadvantaged people live normal lives again is a great privilege. One of her most memorable moments of her recent trip was seeing a young child see for the first time after having their cataracts removed. ❤️
“The look on the child’s face was priceless, one of awe and amazement. They realised they had a bright future ahead,” Nadine said.
“It is wonderful to help bring so much joy to people who are so grateful to be healthy and live a normal life again – you can’t measure it."

The TPCH blood management team have the all-important job of managing patient blood products, as well as managing and proving knowledge on hemovigilance, pre-op anaemia, and blood management quality improvement activities. 🩸
Bronwyn is part of this vital team, where she works as a clinical nurse consultant with both patients and clinicians providing education and support.
"Our role is important to consider from two perspectives, 1. donated blood is a limited and precious resource, and 2. a patient’s own blood is unique and precious to them," Bronwyn said.
"Health care providers must ensure we work to respect, and protect donated blood, and optimise the blood health of our patients."
If you want to donate blood to help out some patients in need, make an appointment with @Lifebloodau today!

The BM team do a fantastic job for all their patients. Bronwyn is an awesome clinician & professional nurse who focuses on optimising patient care throughout their hospital journey at the highest of standards. Proud to have worked with her. 👋🏻
You do an awesome job Bronwyn. We have all learnt so much from you.

That’s Dr Bronwyn as well
hi bronwyn
what a happy woman I am now. Been free from HPV is a great testirmony for me. All thanks to Dr Agbaka for curing me from HPV disease of 13 years now. Only by using his herbal medication which he sent to me. Am so happy. You can contact or visit his page www.facebook.com/Affirmationtestimony?mibextid=LQQJ4d Website: Dragbakaherbalhome.com.ng
Herbal treatment is 100% guarantee for disease, the reason why most people are finding it difficult to cure disease is because they believe on medical report, drugs and medical treatment which is not helpful to cure disease. Natural roots/herbs are the best remedy which can easily eradicate disease forever. You can contact dr Steven herbal home he is capable of curing many chronic diseases and viruses with his herbs remedies you can contact him on his Facebook page www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=316356241551639
Helena recently took out a spot as one of a handful of Australians in the Forbes 30 under 30 healthcare category.
The TPCH orthopaedics PHO has been busy in her first two and a half decades, graduating medicine before undertaking a masters at Harvard University where she won a large-scale innovation challenge which has seen her invention head to clinical trials.
Her solution was to develop a device to assist patients with incontinence, preventing the need for them to come to hospital for treatment.
On the news of her win, Helena was humbled.
“I was sitting outside the operating theatre when I got the email, so it was a nice surprise - I ordered myself a confetti balloon to celebrate,” she said. 🎉
Congratulations, Helena 👏

TPCH consultant cardiac scientist and researcher Michael has undertaken various studies as part of his PhD for the last decade, all in the name of improving patient outcomes.
His latest work, produced in collaboration with the Queensland Ambulance Service, involves the rapid identification of a heart attack patient by QAS in the field through a pre-activation checklist. QAS then contacts the interventional cardiologist on-call at one of the primary catheter labs while appropriate medical therapy is administered without delay. 🙌
“This significant reduction in treatment time has an immense impact on the health of patients. It can mean the difference between life and death,” Michael said.
"Our research highlights the importance of having a dedicated pathway which allows heart attack patients to receive the best possible chance at survival."
