Meet Grace Gleeson, Beaudesert Hospital’s new Patient Travel Officer. 🏥📍

In her role, Grace helps local patients navigate the Patient Travel Subsidy Scheme (PTSS), guiding them through paperwork and supporting them during what can be an overwhelming time.

“Many of our patients are travelling long distances for specialist care, and the paperwork can feel confusing,” she said.

“Being able to sit with someone, listen to their situation and help them navigate the process in a calm and caring way is incredibly rewarding.” 🤍

Welcome to the team, Grace! ✨

PA Hospital staff have had a breakthrough; not in revolutionary research or a clinical discovery, but rather in a building. 🏗️

Contractors have officially cut into the current structure to connect it to the new space, as the campus undergoes major upgrades to expand services.

The core drilling created several concrete cylinders which were embraced by teams including 3E’s Cardiology, who aptly named theirs ‘Breakthrough Barry’.

Nurse Unit Manager Megan said the cylinder is a small symbol of being part of something much bigger.

“Knowing the physical connection has been made between the current and the new is exciting,” she said.

Pyxis Medication Machines - just one of the ways we deliver excellent and safe healthcare at Metro South Health. 👏

The MSH Pyxis team have installed 80 machines across all our facilities in just 18 months, and we’ll have one of the largest fleets in Queensland by 2028!

Pyxis helps clinicians dispense medication more quickly and safely.

The machines talk directly to patient’s electronic medical record so the right medication and dosage is distributed to the right patient, every time.

Thanks to our amazing MSH Pyxis team for all their hard work behind the scenes. 💖

PA Hospital surgical resident Dr William McDonald has won the Gordon Gordon-Taylor Prize for top marks in the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Examinations held in October 2025. ⭐

William gravitated toward the surgical training program for which PA Hospital is well known, undertaking his intern year at PA and is now immersed in the surgical specialties on offer for his resident training.

“PA offers unique access to complex cases which creates a rich environment for learning,” he said.

“From day one you get thrown into a lot of procedural training that isn’t offered at other hospitals. The units are very encouraging and are really invested in growing trainees from the start of their placements."

A huge congratulations to William on this remarkable achievement and championing the excellence of surgical training at PA Hospital! 👏

After an incredible four decades of nursing, QEII Hospital Clinical Nursing Consultant Suzie Hey has officially hung up her scrubs. ⭐

Suzie began her nursing journey at Princess Alexandra Hospital in 1985 and went on to devote 32 years of her career to Metro South Health.

For the past 12 years, she has been an integral part of the QEII Jubilee Hospital family, specialising as a Stomal Therapy Nurse and serving as a highly respected Clinical Nurse Consultant.

“I have always been genuinely motivated to help those in ill health," said Suzie.

"Supporting people when they are at their most vulnerable and knowing you can make a real difference in their lives more than makes up for the challenges nursing can sometimes bring.”

Thank you, Suzie, for your care and dedication. We wish you all the best in retirement. 🫶

PA Hospital is expanding access to cutting-edge cancer care, with the launch of a new clinical theranostics service for patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumours. ❤️

From November 2025, PAH began offering this specialised therapy to all eligible Metro South patients, significantly broadening access to a treatment previously limited to those enrolled in specific clinical trials or requiring travel outside of Metro South HHS.

For patient Pam, the new service means so much more than just advanced treatment.

“When I heard the service was opening here, I was really excited,” she said. “It’s closer to home, and it makes such a difference. Having this service on the south side is so much more convenient, not just for me, but for other patients too.”

Previously, Pam relied on long public transport journeys across the city to attend appointments.

The introduction of the clinical theranostics service at PAH marks a significant milestone for Metro South Health, improving equity of access to highly specialised cancer treatment and reducing the burden of travel for patients living on Brisbane’s south side.

Did you know: Queenslanders have now shared more than 250,000 advance care planning (ACP) documents!

It's a huge milestone for the Statewide Office of Advance Care Planning, a service hosted by Metro South Health.

Every document represents someone taking the time to think about what matters most to them, and making sure their future health care reflects those wishes. 🤍

Dr Greg Parker, Director of the Statewide Office, says the milestone shows just how much awareness and confidence is growing across the community.

“Queenslanders are using these documents to make their future health care wishes known if there is a time when they can’t speak for themselves,” he said.

By sending in copies of ACP documents, Queenslanders are helping ensure authorised health professionals can access their wishes when it is needed most.

And while these conversations can feel big, the team are here to help – with free information, resources, and forms.

It's a timely reminder that life is better with a plan. 🌱Call 1300 007 227 for a free information pack or to learn more.
