A clinical midwifery consultant in birthing services will wear many hats in a day - providing clinical recourses, advice, mentoring, education and upskilling and technical expertise.
Nate, who works at RBWH, works with a team who have nine birth suites and four birth centre rooms, all equipped with a birth ball, shower, bathtub, railings, bean bag and mat to help facilitate different types of requests for birth. 🛁
"Providing Holistic care throughout the pregnancy journey is one of the paramount goals of a midwife. Seeing a mum and her family walk out the door, safe and happy - we couldn’t ask for anything more," Nate said. 💞
RBWH is looking for its next clinical midwifery consultant superstar to join the birthing services team. If this sounds like you, apply here: bit.ly/4dczFsd #WorkforusWednesday

So many talents 😁 love working with you 😀
I painted every square inch of the department alone. Also the entire neonatal department alone. Not to mention 95% of the entire floor. I met a lot of lovely people. Staff and patients.
Gave birth to all my children at RBWH. What a wonderful bunch of staff and an amazing hospital with great birthing suits.
A great CMC! The team are lucky to have you!
Nate is a gorgeous man and so great at his job
Nate is a wonderful person I worked with him at the royal when I was a pso
Love your work Nate 👍

Lymphoedema is a chronic condition, where fluid (called lymph) collects in a part of the body causing it to swell. It occurs either because there is too much fluid for a normal lymphatic system to process, or the lymphatic system isn’t working properly.
People with lymphoedema around the world describe having a difficult time finding a doctor with expertise in this area, which is why RBWH senior physiotherapist Natalie is conducting research through Griffith University, supported by RBWH, that explores lymphoedema from the perspective of Australian medical interns.
"In many countries, medical lymphoedema specialists are not available. People with lymphoedema describe this as having a big impact on their lives, often limiting access to timely treatment and care," Natalie said.
"It is hoped that findings from this research will help us to understand more about how lymphoedema is taught within medical training, what the impacts are to healthcare services, and how access to medical care for lymphoedema can be improved." 🙌

Well that’s is wonderful that she can help and pick it up . But why can’t they have others in other Hospitals to help others I have had a swollen under the knee it has moved around my leg . Nurses and doctors can’t touch it as it hurts can’t lean on it . But no one does anything to help me it’s painful I had a fall many years ago. And I think it just got worse feel’s fluidity starting in the other leg now too . So why not train others in each hospital to help . To far to go to RBWH .
Go Nat! 👏👏
Yessss Natty! Gorgeous pic of you, my clever friend ❤️
This was misdiagnosed as cellulitis but apparently it's lymphoma.

All Queensland newborn babies will now be eligible for a free RSV immunisation, which will keep little ones protected from respiratory illness in the cooler months. 🫁
RSV is a highly contagious viral infection that infects upper airways and lungs and can lead you to require hospitalisation.
New parents Sarah and George joined RBWH midwife Sandy in hearing more about the RSV immunisation program when it was announced yesterday.
"We are excited to have commenced this RSV immunisation program to protect our littlest patients and keep them safe from illness," Sandy said. 💓

"I'm a mum of three boys. I never wanted a girl because she would turn out to be like me - and guess what? The boys are exactly like me! They're opinionated and strong willed and they believe in themselves. I’d like to think that I taught them that. It's just been me and the boys for a long time."

RBWH hyperbaric chamber supervisor Bob goes on a deep dive with his patients to get them back to health. ⚓🤿
After leaving the military in 1986 where Bob was a Navy clearance diver, Bob began a career working offshore where he began his saturation diving course in 1990 in Scotland. This then kicked off his 20-year long career as a saturation diver. 🛥️
In 2020, Bob took up a role as senior hyperbaric chamber supervisor at the RBWH where he has the important job of supervising the 'diving' side of patients going through a treatment.
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment is the inhalation of 100% oxygen inside a treatment chamber at a pressure greater than sea level.
“The doctors are the ones administering the drug which is the oxygen, but I am controlling the dive itself which is all done via a computerised panel," Bob said.
“We monitor the dive constantly by calculating what the decompression obligation is, so that it's not too much pressure for the patients because they don't have a nitrogen load.” 🫧
[Accessibility image description: Bob wears a blue and white printed shirt, and is smiling standing in front of the hyperbaric chamber.]

What is it used to treat?
Further to my earlier comment it changed my life after treatment for cancer. Would go again in a heartbeat as it made such a difference. Bob was a friendly face each day to greet before each treatment.
Well done Bob thanks for your work ❤️👍
Always a friendly face.
How often is the chamber used for divers? Or is it mostly for wounds?
