Meet Joyce, one of our amazing Post Anaesthetic Care Unit (PACU) nurses at Redland Hospital. 👋

Joyce cares for patients immediately after surgery, managing airways, pain and nausea, providing emotional support, and preparing patients to safely return home or transition to the ward.

“It’s a very specialised field. We see lots of different patients every day,” she said. “You’re caring for people at a really vulnerable time, and that can be incredibly rewarding.”

“When you see someone go from being in pain or anxious to feeling comfortable and safe, that makes you proud of what you do.”

Thank you for your compassion and dedication Joyce! 🩵

Redland Hospital Intensivist Dr Goran Mitric says cardiac ultrasound (Echocardiography) is helping Intensive Care Unit teams make faster, more informed decisions for critically unwell patients. 🫀

Dr Mitric has recently completed an ICU fellowship in Critical Care Echocardiography, strengthening the ICU’s ability to assess and manage critically ill patients by understanding complex heart conditions at the bedside.

“The echo machine is used to assess both the structure and the function of your heart using ultrasound," he said. “It helps us to both identify problems when you are sick and to choose the best treatment based on the information it provides.

"The technology allows clinicians to check heart function in real time to assess and monitor patient progress."

“This technology also allows us to communicate better with colleagues at bigger hospitals, who sometimes need to perform procedures or provide care if patients are transferred,” he said.

Join nurse Tash on shift at Redlands Satellite Health Centre’s Minor Injury and Illness Clinic. 🏥

Tash started her career at Redlands Hospital - the same community where she grew up and later raised her own family. 👪

She then spent 10 years working as a paediatric emergency nurse at the Queensland Children’s Hospital (QCH), before joining the Redlands Satellite Health Centre when it opened two years ago.

Tash said she loves working in a small team at the clinic and being able to make a difference for the Redlands community. 🫶

‘I like being hands on and helping people in need no matter what the issue is,’ said Tash.

‘The exciting part of our job is that it’s unpredictable, you never know what people are going to present with.’

The Redlands Minor Injury and Illness Clinic is for people with non-life-threatening health needs, when you can’t see a GP. They treat adults, teenagers and children over 3 months.

You’ll find minor injury and illness clinics in multiple locations across South East Queensland. 📍

Thanks for letting us follow you around, Tash. We appreciate all you do for the Redlands community. 🥰

Redland Hospital Transit Care Hub expansion

Construction is set to begin on the expansion of Redland Hospital’s Transit Care Hub, a project designed to help patients move through hospital sooner and improve access to emergency care.

The existing Transit Lounge will be renamed the Transit Care Hub; and expanded into part of the front garden area between the main hospital entrance and the Women’s and Children’s entrance.

The Transit Care Hub expansion will increase treatment spaces, improve staff work areas and support safer, smoother discharges, helping free up beds more quickly for emergency and inpatient care.

Parking changes

From early April works will begin on site, including the temporary closure of the P2 car park.
Pick up and drop off zones in P2 will remain open. Visitors and staff are encouraged to use P1 (multi-level car park), signage will be in place to assist you.

The Transit Care Hub expansion will increase treatment spaces, improve staff work areas and support safer, smoother discharges, helping free up beds more quickly for emergency and inpatient care.

Metro South Health thanks patients, visitors and staff for their patience while this important upgrade is delivered for the Redlands community.

This Easter, we’re celebrating a little bit of hope 💛

Baby Evelyn has reached an incredible milestone recently,100 days old, after being born at just 24 weeks and three days.
Mum Maegan (Mae) Walker said she was incredibly grateful for the care and support they received, as well as the support from family.
Despite the challenges that come with being born so early, Maegan said they feel incredibly fortunate and offered some advice for parents trying to navigate the difficult, unexpected journey.
“It’s very easy to be overwhelmed and think, how am I going to get through the next three months,” she said.
“But it’s just taking it day by day… and enjoying having a newborn for a little while longer.
“It sounds really daunting, 24 weeks… but for the most part, they have a really good chance.”

She’s an Emergency Physiotherapy Practitioner (EPP) at Redlands Satellite Health Centre and uses all types of equipment every day.

Whether it’s treating simple dislocations and bone breaks or sore knees and sprained ankles, these tools help get patients on the road to recovery. 🤗

Some of them may look scary and weird, but they all have a super important purpose.

Here’s a few Kiera uses, and she’s given them her own personal rating. 👆
