Thank you to all our staff for your outstanding work and commitment to Metro North this year.

Caboolture Hospital Emergency physician Dr Simon Bugden and his research team have found a new way to make one of the most common medical procedures in the world – placing drips or IV lines – safer, less painful and potentially more cost effective.

Caboolture mums-to-be now have access to more local maternity options thanks to a partnership between Caboolture Hospital and two private midwifery-led group practices.

Local students have been given a healthy career headstart as the first to graduate from the Caboolture Health Care Academy.

Caboolture Hospital volunteer chaplain Gemma Hocking will hang up the cloth after 21 years of providing support and comfort to patients, families and the community.

Every year, more than 3000 healthcare workers are assaulted on the job in Queensland. Across our health service and hospitals right around the state, a range of measures are being rolled out to tackle occupational violence including body worn cameras.

Australia’s largest public health provider continues to grow with almost 20,000 additional patients admitted to Brisbane north hospitals in the last financial year.

TV and radio personality, Osher Günsberg will be special guest at this year’s North Brisbane Mental Health Expo at Bowen Hills on 27 September.

We have zero tolerance when it comes to violence in our hospitals and community services. Our staff come to work each day to look after sick patients, not to become patients themselves.
