As a Medical Education Officer in Robina’s Emergency Department, Jessica plays a vital role in supporting junior doctors as they begin their careers.

From coordinating training, assessments and wellbeing support to developing educational programs, Jess is passionate about creating the best possible learning environment for future clinicians.

“It's really nice seeing young people who are enthusiastic and want to learn and helping them make connections with the more senior doctors,” she said.

“It’s a very rewarding job because you’re supporting doctors at the start of their journey and you can help them through it all and set them up.”

One of Jess’s significant achievements is creating a supervisor training program that is now accredited by the Australian College of Emergency Medicine.

“The program equips senior doctors, nurses and allied health professionals with practical supervision skills within an emergency department,” she said.

“It has really grown over the past decade and is now attended by staff from other hospitals which is great. I love designing workshops and creating processes to make things stronger so I am definitely in
the right place.”

Thank you for supporting our junior doctors, Jess!

When Karen and Mike sat in the Robina Hospital breast clinic waiting room, the assumption was Mike was there to support his wife. Turns out, it was the other way around.

A month prior Mike noticed blood on his towel, checked his chest and discovered a blood stained fluid coming from his left ni**le.

He immediately went to his GP who ran further tests. Within days, a referral was made to Robina's breast clinic and Mike was scheduled for a mastectomy.

“My brain certainly had not gone to breast cancer despite working in the health field,” Karen said.

“We want the information to be out there that, while rare, men can get breast cancer too and take the signs seriously.”

After the mastectomy, he was cleared of the cancer and required no chemotherapy or radiotherapy. He was also found to be clear of cancer in his yearly check-ups for five years.

“The story may have been different had he not gone directly to the doctor on the day he noticed the blood from his ni**le,” Karen said.

“Mike and I often laugh that between us we have three b***s and no cancer!”

Ivy didn't originally plan to become an Intensive Care nurse, but once she started working in the specialty, she never looked back.

“I completed my studies in the Philippines and I was looking at doing post-operative care, but there was a major recruitment drive for ICU nurses,” she said.

“Once I started working here, I realised it suited me. I feel like I can focus more on my patients and my work and I also enjoy working within a close-knit team because you can support each other, bounce ideas off
one another, and work together during busy or critical situations.”

Ivy is now a Clinical Nurse in our Robina ICU, where she has been a much-loved team member for the past five years.

“I love the collaborative nature of the role and working with the multidisciplinary team,” she said.

“It's about learning from each other and focusing on providing the best possible care for your patients. Then, of course, it's very rewarding seeing long-term patients get discharged after a difficult journey.”

Thank you for always providing compassionate care to your patients, Ivy! 🥰

The first faces many patients see in a crisis, and often the steady hands guiding them through it.

For every emergency, every challenge and every patient who needs them most, emergency nurses are there.

Today, on Emergency Nurses Day, we thank our emergency nurses for their expertise, resilience and unwavering commitment to caring for our community. 💙

Congratulations to Dr Fahid Hashem on his appointment as Director of Internal Medicine Training at Robina Hospital.

Alongside his role as a Senior Staff Specialist in General Medicine and Endocrinology at Gold Coast Health, Dr Hashem will help guide and support doctors undertaking basic physician training.

Dr Hashem is driven by a passion for developing future clinicians and investing in people.

"We are so lucky in Australia to have a strong health system, but what underpins a good health system is the people who run it," he said.

"I want doctors of the future to be better than the doctors we have now. To do that, we need to think about what medicine will look like in the future, what skills they'll need, and how we prepare them to be clinical leaders."

One of the most rewarding parts of the role for Dr Hashem is seeing trainees achieve their goals and thrive in their careers.

"I now have former trainees who are consultants themselves, doing research and achieving great things. That's when you know all the effort has been worth it."

We are grateful to have passionate clinicians like Dr Hashem to support the next generation of doctors. 🥼🩺

For Bianca, emergency nursing was love at first placement.

After completing a placement in ED during her final year of nursing, she knew exactly where she wanted her career to take her.

"You don't know what's going to come through the door," Bianca said.

"You get your problem-solving on, and it's good."

Twelve years later, she's still at Robina Hospital and taking the next step as a Nurse Practitioner (NP) candidate.

While balancing a master's degree, two children and a house build, Bianca says the journey is challenging but rewarding.

"I've worked in emergency for a long time, so I was thinking, 'What's the next step in my career,'" she said.

"The program involves us coming in every Tuesday and getting taught from the NPs and medical colleagues. It's really good and I'm looking forward to being more on the clinical side."

Congratulations, Bianca!

“I became a nurse because I wanted to be able to make a difference somewhere in the world, whether that difference is really small or sometimes bigger.” ✨

After starting her career as a graduate nurse in orthopaedics and trauma, Courtney is now a Clinical Nurse in our Critical Response Unit (CRU), helping patients and staff across both Gold Coast University Hospital and Robina Hospital.

“No shift is the same,” she said.

“We monitor patients for signs of deterioration, support ward teams with education and clinical skills, assist after-hours medical teams and review Intensive Care discharges.

“I love it because I’m constantly learning and get to work with so many different teams.”

We can confirm she definitely makes a difference here at Gold Coast Health. 🥰
