Healthcare is more than what you see at the bedside.

Behind every patient journey is a team of dedicated professionals supporting the day-to-day running of our hospitals and services.

From theatre assistants to patient support roles, these careers make a real difference.

This is what Dr Wei Wei calls business as usual, but for her families - it's life changing. 💖

For one family, Dr Wei Wei was the first person to truly listen after their son was diagnosed with Autism
Spectrum Disorder Level 3, Global Developmental Delay and non-verbal.

"I was exhausted and felt completely alone," the mum said.

"In sheer desperation, I sent an email to Dr Wei Wei because I simply needed somewhere or someone to place my fear. I was brought to my knees with gratitude when I received a call from the hospital the next day with a clear and urgent plan for assessment and care."

Dr Wei Wei met the mother with reassurance, warmth, calm, and a clear plan to help.

"We felt valued, seen and heard," mum said.

"Most importantly, we felt — and could see — that our son mattered. He was given exceptional care regardless of his diagnosis, the colour of his skin, or his inability to advocate for himself."

Dr Wei Wei has been with Gold Coast Health for more than a decade, supporting so many families through their toughest moments.

"This feedback isn't a reflection of me, it's of the entire team and our culture," she said.

"I wouldn't be able to provide this level of care if I wasn't supported by my colleagues. We have an amazing paediatric team that give 100 per cent every day and it stands out."

We could not be prouder of Dr Wei Wei and our paediatric bunch. 💖

The 23 Hour Unit at Robina Hospital is passionate about giving patients a good experience. But don't just take our word for it - check out a recent compliment they received. 👇

"Nursing staff on the 23-hour ward were amazing... the nurses were supportive, professional, thoughtful, caring and happy to clarify when I was feeling overwhelmed." 🫶

This Patient Experience Week, we went to meet some of the nursing legends behind the great feedback, to get their take on ensuring patients have a positive stay.

Associate Nurse Unit Manager (NUM), Rincy, said it all comes down to the dedication of her team.

"I love what I do and truly believe when we look after the staff, they feel empowered to provide the best care possible to our patients," she said.

"It's a beautiful unit with a great team."

Take a look at what a good patient experience means to Rincy, Jenna, Jack, Lucy and Megan. 👉

After having three kids, Lynette learned some tools and techniques for labour and passed those skills onto other parents.

But, she felt she could help even more, leading to her becoming a Registered Midwife.

"I work in many areas - I do the antenatal appointments and classes, go to Birth Suite and the postnatal ward, and I also do the home visits," Lynette said.

"This year I've just started supporting Griffith students and helping them with their clinical requirements."

Lynette makes a lasting impact on all the parents she meets, especially in her antenatal classes.

"She made me feel extremely empowered, listened to and non-judged," one soon-to-be mum said.

"She gave everyone the space to share their pregnancy journey so far and treated everyone equally. I also really appreciated how she spoke to the dad’s and really reminded them how incredible women are."

We adore you, Lynette! You make Gold Coast Health an amazing place to be. 💜

Kylie is proud of the work her team does every day, but that pride goes to another level when she receives words of gratitude from the families they support.

“There are few better moments in my job than receiving positive feedback from the families of children we care for,” the Team Leader of Head to Health Kids (H2HK) Gold Coast said.

H2HK supports youngsters under 12 years of age experiencing mild to moderate mental health challenges.

“Parents and carers put a lot of trust in us when they walk through our doors. They and their children are often vulnerable and we do everything we can to ensure they feel heard, understood and supported.”

That was certainly for the case for one child’s parent who wrote: “We could not be more thankful for the whole team that helped us navigate the path of finding some solutions. We will honestly miss the team.”

What’s it like reading that, Kylie?

“It’s encouraging and affirming that the goals of the team are being passed onto the children and families we support," she said.

"From the beginning of H2HK, our primary motivation has been to ensure children and families feel heard and supported and comments like this show we are achieving that goal.”

The Day Surgery Unit at Varsity Lakes Day Hospital (VLDH) are experts in putting patients at ease before their planned procedures - as confirmed by recent feedback! 👇

"I felt no anxiety and it was just a lovely experience... the VLDH had a point of difference that one remembers," a recent patient said.

So naturally, we want to celebrate them this Patient Experience Week and let them explain in their own words what a good patient experience means to them.

Nurse Unit Manager (NUM) Claudia couldn't be prouder of her team.

"We would not be here without the dedication of the frontline workers," Claudia said.

"All the great patient feedback comes because of the hard work they do every day."

Making a Difference – one family at a time 💙

Our Community Immunisation team has been described as “wonderful” and “fabulous”, and we couldn’t agree more.

As part of Patient Experience Week, we’re celebrating teams that have received glowing feedback from our patients.

One busy mum shared: "This service is such a valuable resource for the community. Linda, the nurse, was fabulous – a true asset to Gold Coast Health. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the process easy for my children."

This year, Patient Experience Week aligns with World Immunisation Week – the perfect time to recognise the hardworking Community Immunisation team.

A huge thank you to Linda and the entire team for your dedication, compassion, and professionalism. Your work is protecting families across the Gold Coast from serious disease.

“You will be wet, homesick and frightened, but the pride of the fleet will be you.”

Those words set Clinical Nurse and veteran Jannine on a path of service that began in the Royal Australian Navy at just 17 and continues today at Gold Coast Health.

From the challenges of her early life to serving during the first Gulf War, Jannine’s experiences shaped her resilience, compassion and lifelong commitment to others.

As we mark 110 years since Gallipoli, she reflects on unity, courage and those who continue to serve — in uniform and beyond.

Lest we forget.
