For more than 20 years, Redland Hospital volunteer Mavis has been a friendly face helping our staff, patients, and visitors. 💐 Now in her 80s, she still shows up every week to make a difference to our community. Thank you Mavis for everything you do.

Redland Hospital’s ICU team has been levelling up with escape-room style training! 🚪 Instead of padlocks and riddles, staff face high-stakes clinical scenarios with “Handsome George” - the high-tech mannequin helping build teamwork and lifesaving skills before the new ICU opens later this year.

At Metro South Health, we know that when our staff are supported, they can provide the best care for you and your family. 💜

That’s why we’ve created the Nurture Network; a program to help our hospital community manage the challenges of parenthood and caring for loved ones while working in healthcare.

Local Nurture Network advocate at Bayside Health Service, Sarah, joined the Nurture Network team by chance while she was on carer's leave with her young son.

By looking after our staff, we're making sure they’re supported and ready to provide care when you need them most. 🙌

For first-time mum Pirasha Maru, guidance from Clinical Midwife & Lactation Consultant Sian Michalk made all the difference when baby Rihaan arrived a little small and sleepy. 🌼

“The early days were the hardest… Sian showed me different positions, how to wake him gently, and encouraged me to keep expressing to build my supply.”

Our lactation consultants support parents before and after birth, from antenatal breastfeeding classes (partners welcome!) to inpatient consultations, follow-up appointments, and phone check-ins for up to six weeks postpartum.

A new treatment option at Redlands Satellite Health Centre is giving local patients greater control and convenience when receiving vital immunoglobulin therapy.

The Cancer Day Unit is now offering Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin (SCIg), a treatment that can be administered at home (after training) rather than through traditional hospital-based intravenous therapy (IVIg).

Clinical Nurse Ashley Fortune says SCIg is less invasive, more comfortable, and offers flexibility for people whose immune systems don’t produce enough antibodies to fight infection.

“Patients can continue treatment without coming into hospital every few weeks,” Ashley says.

This new model of care means fewer hospital visits, more independence, and the same life-saving treatment...right from the comfort of home.

Redland Hospital is honoured to be part of so many special journeys, including four local mums who have returned to the Birthing in Our Community (BiOC) program for their third pregnancies.

That’s 12 beautiful Redlands Coast babies! 🙌

BiOC is led by a team of midwives working in close partnership with Yulu-Burri-Ba Aboriginal Corporation for Community Health to provide culturally safe care.

Clinical Midwife Shae Temple said the model allows women to have the same midwife throughout their pregnancy, birth and early parenting journey.

“We often care for more than one baby in the same family,” she said. “That continuity means we understand each family’s history, culture and preferences. It helps build trust, improve birth outcomes, and support informed choices.” 🖤💛❤️

At Redland Hospital's Yugaipa Ward, it’s often the little things that make the biggest difference for people experiencing mental health challenges. 💙

From decorations to a pet photo board, and even new velcro curtains for privacy, Nurse Unit Manager Karla and Assistant in Nursing Sharon are creating a warm, welcoming environment where dignity and recovery can thrive.

“When I see people we’ve supported out in the community, happy, with goals and new opportunities, that’s what makes it worthwhile,” said Sharon.

With each shift, Karla and Sharon are reshaping what recovery can look like, one small step at a time.

Well done to the entire Yugaipa team! 👏

From a passion for chemistry and food science to supporting patients as a Nutrition Assistant, Meredith Fay’s journey into healthcare started with a curiosity and love for learning. She joined Redland Hospital in 2021 while studying, paving the way for a future as a dietician at the hospital. Meredith is now working with our patients on Amity Ward to ensure they have the nutrition they need for their recovery.

A new clinical trial at Redland Hospital is helping to improve recovery and reduce pain for patients like Joyce Emery. 💗

Using an ultrasound-guided nerve block, doctors can safely numb the arm for longer-lasting pain relief compared to traditional methods.

Dr Henry Tsao said it’s a valuable option when other techniques aren’t suitable.

"Because pain relief lasts longer and is more effective, patients may need fewer strong painkillers like morphine," he said.

Joyce recently returned to the hospital’s fracture clinic saying she was very happy with her treatment, adding "all the doctors have been lovely." 🥰
