Associate Professor Prasad (pictured) is a Senior Staff Cardiologist and researcher at RBWH, where he plays a critical role caring for one of our Patient Ambassadors, Stephanie, who was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy (a disease of the heart muscle) just days before her honeymoon.

More than 60,000+ Australians are diagnosed with heart failure every year and we are proud to support RBWH as a national leader in heart failure research.

Thank you Dr Prasad and to all our wonderful physicians for making a difference every day!

🩺This , we're celebrating how the extraordinary power of giving is evolving kidney care for young patients, by highlighting a project that redefines how we support adolescent and young adults (AYA) living with kidney disease.

Young people with kidney disease often face challenges, not just medically, but emotionally and socially. To help improve this experience and their outcomes, a project led by Alexandra Cation and Brianna McCoola and proudly supported by the RBWH Foundation, identified the need to design care with these patients - not just for them.

The project brought together AYA patients, their families and clinicians to co-design the future of outpatient kidney care by understanding what matters most to young people. This collaborative process helped pave the way for creating care that is not only clinically sound but also compassionate, relevant and empowering.

RBWH Foundation grants are designed to fund research projects and patient care initiatives that improve the health and wellbeing of patients.

Some of these initiatives have included supplying appropriate clothing to patients impacted by sexual assault, domestic violence and homelessness, providing access to a virtual reality coffee shop where patients and speech pathologists can work on communication skills in a realistic setting, or offering portable radios to older patients for stimulation while hospitalised.

The generosity of our donors makes it possible to have funded these initiatives and many more that help foster positive health outcomes and wellbeing of patients. We are incredibly proud to support extraordinary opportunities in patient care.💜

Returning home after a hospital stay can be challenging, especially for patients with little or no food available. Some people live alone; others are too unwell to shop or have been discharged late in the day.

To ease this critical transition, RBWH Dietetics and Food Services has launched the Food Parcel Project, sending vulnerable patients home with two days' worth of tailored, shelf-stable food. Not only does this RBWH Foundation grant project reduce the risk of malnutrition and stress, it's providing compassionate, holistic care beyond the ward.

Dietetic Assistant Jennifer Gillies explains more about the Food Parcel Project here: https://vimeo.com/1102369144

Support RBWH Foundation to build a healthy future for Queensland

The RBWH Foundation exists to fill that funding gap. We raise funds to assist the hospital’s doctors, nurses, researchers and allied health professionals to achieve optimal patient outcomes by providing them with the knowledge, skills and technology which may not otherwise be afforded to them due to budgetary constraints.

Money raised by RBWH Foundation is used to fund research on the campus, purchase vital pieces of equipment and enable key health professionals to attend additional training programs, conferences and seminars. It contributes to our Patient Support programs and continuing to develop our Innovative Facilities.
