Another step in the journey to a much-needed expansion! Thank you to Ramsay Health Care who have worked with the Queensland Health and Noosa Council to facilitate these demountables to triage patients as part of ensuring the Emergency Department operates as efficiently as possible, reducing delays and the need for ambulances to โbypass โนโ or as officially now known โload shareโ to Nambour or SCUH, which contributes to their โrampingโ. ![]()
Gratitude๐to everyone involved including Ramsay CEO Anna & Karl with extra special thanks to the emergency doctors and staff who do an incredible job for our community. Like all that is worthy, it is never as simple as we would like, however we are getting there๐ ![]()
The data from this โtriagingโ is vital as part of the case for a permanent expansion of this private hospital which is contracted by state government to provide $22,600,000 of public services and of this, $7,080,000 is for the Emergency Department. This may sound sufficient, however given the limited capacity, and frustration of residents who are relayed unnecessarily to hospitals further away, we need to know exactly what is required now and into the future. As well to have the longer lease needed from State Government to accommodate this.
๐We will continue to advocate with the new Minister for Health Shannon Fentiman for the required lease extensions which is crucial for our hospital to deliver to our community and reduce impacts to others. By working together, we can ensure this private facility meets the needs of both private and public patients for generations to come๐ง๐![]()
P.S. A 'Happy Birthday' to Mayor Clare, what a gorgeous cake?!๐![]()

๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ What a nailbiter! This annual is always great fun, raising funds for breast cancer care which affects both men and women. My umpiring skills ๐คผ even after 6 years still leave a lot to be desired, with our commentators Chris and Scott had trouble translating my โover the headโ signals! ๐คฃ๐คฃ Thank you to all players, fellow umpires, the amazing volunteers and commentators, cheer squads and organisers including Anita and raffle queen Wanda ๐ A big shoutout to all who donated, whether raffle prizes or funds, as it is deeply appreciated. A lot of high fives ๐ treasured hugs and memories reignited and made, as well gratitude that the rain stopped in time for the game to start!

๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ โ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ท with QLD a leader in this space, sharing breakfast with researchers from the Institute for Molecular Bioscience had some โcreepyโ moments with the Fraser Island Kโgari Funnel Web spider showcasing how their venom assists with heart attack and stroke victims! Much was learnt including around endometriosis, bio pesticides and new antibiotics from soil microbes, as well that 100 years ago many in the room would not be here. This as pointed out was due to the average age expectancy back then was 50 years, and how the advent of vaccines and antibiotics via bioscience has contributed to us having a longer shelf life! ๐ Thank you to all presenters for greater insights into what you do, and how you do it! ![]()
