"I was a midwife here at the Royal Brisbane and Women`s Hospital and I watched this building being built, and then the transition into the new building before retiring. It is my first time back here as an inpatient and I am astounded by how busy it is, but also how organised it is and how skilful and caring everyone is. These days I am the social coordinator for my retirement village, so I organise the outings and activities, my favourite is the bus trips and picnics. I`d say my advice is to follow your dreams, I always wanted to be a nurse, so I followed mine."

Comprehensive Breast Cancer Institute Director and Metro North breast surgeon Professor Owen is looking forward to continuing work with BellaSeno on a revolutionary breast scaffold project using a bioresorbable 3D printed scaffold and the patient`s own fat cells.

Metro North`s institutes CBCI and HBI together led BellaSeno’s previous two-year first-in-human safety trial, with the successful trial making way for the next stage of research.

“The initial clinical investigation gave us important early evidence about the scaffold’s safety profile and patient outcomes, paving the way for this next phase and the possibility of helping more patients,” he said.

“The next stage of this work is about continuing to build that evidence responsibly, with rigorous clinical oversight, longer-term follow-up and a clear focus on patient safety.

“Australia has played a central role in this research from the beginning, and this primary augmentation construction is a significant step in understanding how this technology may provide future options for people considering breast surgery.” ...

Between managing staff, ensuring quality standards and even jumping into the kitchen to bake for our aged care residents, Assistant Site Coordinator for Food Services at the Brighton Health Precinct Louise wears many hats! 🍰

"I do the baking for aged care, so Gannet House gets fresh cakes twice a week. My specialty is the lemon drizzle cake," she says.

"My favourite part of this role is what I can give to our patients, residents and staff, being able to support everyone through their work but also with anything happening in their personal lives.

"I also organise social events for our staff, right now I am working on something for R U OK day, it`s great to give back to the team after their hard work."

#ShoutoutSaturday to Louise and the Food Services team at Brighton Health Campus! ...
