Queenslanders know there's no place like home. Luckily for students studying to become Nuclear Medicine Scientists, they now have an opportunity to complete their studies in the sunshine state. 🏠💓

Queensland Health has partnered with @rmituniversity to offer Queensland students studying Nuclear Medicine opportunities with three Metro North Health teams as part of the Embedded Students Program.

RBWH Technical Director of Nuclear Medicine Travis is excited to provide training and cutting-edge healthcare opportunities for students, with RBWH and TPCH currently taking applications for the 2026 program.

"We're excited to open the doors to Queenslanders who haven't been able to undertake Nuclear Medicine studies previously due to geographical limitations," Travis shared.

"Both school leavers and mature aged students have had no choice but to be away from their families in the past, which is a hard decision to make."

Alexander from TPCH understands the need for a local workforce to have access to the program, especially as the demand for services and the aging population increases.

"We've been looking at ways to improve access for students and recruit locals, as we want to train people who want to work in their community."

Scholarships of up to $15,000 per year are available for eligible students enrolled in the program. Click here for more information: www.health.qld.gov.au/ahwac/html/cet/nms-embedded-student-program

When it comes to leadership in nursing, having a shared vision and delivering exceptional care are important attributes to learn. ❤️‍🩹

A group of Metro North Nurse and Midwifery Unit Managers are taking part in the I-CARE #BraverLeaders Program, led by the renowned Professor Brian Dolan OBE, a nursing expert with a 30+ year career in healthcare.

🚶‍➡️ Professor Brian is the originator of the @endpjparalysis campaign and the #Last1000days concept and has created a social movement in healthcare providing leadership strategies for health professionals.

ICU Nurse Unit Managers Gary from Redcliffe Hospital and Liz from TPCH were lucky to take part in the Braver Leaders program and to spend time with Professor Brian as he shared important guidance and strategies. 🤗

"Patient's time is the most valuable currency in healthcare," Professor Dolan shared.

"Let's make very minute count."
