Dysphasia is a condition that affects speech and language skills, making it difficult for someone to find the right words or form sentences. It’s often caused by brain injury, stroke, or neurological disorders.

Erin, a speech pathologist at TPCH, works with people facing dysphasia every day.

“You see people when they are at their most vulnerable,” Erin said.

“It’s a difficult moment for many of them, as they navigate a new reality where communication doesn’t come as easily. But you also see the strength and resilience they have as they work through these challenges.”

“Building rapport quickly is essential to helping patients get the most benefit out of the time we spend together. Building trust is key."

"Older adults may be at risk of malnutrition if they experience health issues that make eating difficult, such as dementia or dental problems. They might lose their appetite, have trouble swallowing, or struggle with chronic conditions or medications that impact their diet," Joseph said.

“I enjoy providing patients with meaningful nutrition advice to support them throughout their hospital stay”

Erisa and Avissa are bringing double the brain power to their intern year at The Prince Charles Hospital, as they join 203 junior doctors across Metro North starting their careers this week.

The twins, who were born in Iran and grew up in Canada, have spent four long years apart while studying in Brisbane and Wollongong before being reunited this week at TPCH.

"We were really determined to work in the same hospital so we could finally be together. I moved to Australia by myself and had my first birthday alone, as we are usually together as twins, so I am very happy to have her back now," Erisa said.

"We have never been competitive with each other, we always view ourselves as a unit, we are there to support each other at work and we can also help each other out in the future in our personal lives if we have the same career," Avissa said.

Both girls currently have their eyes set on anaesthetics specialties - but they'll try many areas of medicine during their intern year. 💛
