Don’t be fooled by the smiles. We’re a bit glum at QEI this Christmas because the lovely Carmel Johnston is retiring. Many QEI supporters, suppliers and colleagues have dealt with Carmel over her 12 years with the Foundation. She’s been a constant voice of calm and collection, helping us navigate floods, COVID, relocation and many minor moments in between. Her signature morning greeting always set the tone for the day and her departure will be felt deeply. Best wishes Carmel from the Queensland Eye Institute ❤️
