Sad news: Nat is leaving Robina ED ☹️

Happy news: she will still be with Gold Coast Health, just in another role. 🥳

Nurse Nat has been part of the Robina ED “furniture” since 2009, beginning her journey as a fresh-faced, quiet nursing graduate.

“It was never on my bingo card to stay there so long, but when you find a good thing it’s hard to let
go,” she said.

“I have learnt so much from some amazing mentors and had colleagues become not only friends but also chosen family.”

She has too many highlights in the department to list, but said the standout are all the different people she's been lucky enough to meet along the way.

“I will be forever grateful for our ED because it really has been a wonderful place for me to learn and grow as a nurse,” she said.

Nat is now joining the hospital’s Clinical Response Unit, where we have no doubt she’ll be amazing. 💗

Every day, older adults arrive in our Emergency Department (ED) after a fall - the leading cause of emergency presentations for people over 65 - and they can have devastating consequences.

Dr Megan sees the impact firsthand, and she’s determined to change the story.

By working closely with specialist nursing teams at Robina Hospital and Gold Coast University Hospital (GCUH), she has led the development of a new falls‑care pathway designed to deliver safer, faster, more coordinated care for older patients.

This April No Falls 2026, we celebrate Dr Megan's dedication to improving outcomes and quality of life for older adults in our community.

We’re celebrating Queensland Youth Week with a special youth‑led art project! 🎨✨

Local emerging artist Hayley Stanich - a young Queenslander who successfully received a Youth Week Community Event Grant- is running creative drop‑in workshops for young people across the Paediatric Ward and Children and Youth Mental Health Services.

“I’ve always loved making things with my hands, but it wasn’t until my health began to decline that art became a central part of my life," Hayley said.

"My art brought me glimmers of hope and calm, helping me hold on to something positive when my world felt heavy.”

Young people will help shape a vibrant, co‑created artwork that reflects their voices, experiences and hopes.

“No one understands young people better than young people themselves,” Hayley said.

“Artmaking lets them be seen, heard and valued on their own terms.”

The final collaborative piece will be proudly displayed at Gold Coast Health as a lasting celebration of Youth Week and the creativity of the young people who shaped it.

From Robina to rural Queensland, registered nurse Clare is making an impact where it matters most.

Her drive to maintain a varied nursing career, combined with her passion for remote and Indigenous health has led her as far north as Cape York – thousands of kilometres from her Gold Coast home.

“I’ve been nursing for nearly 18 years, and I just felt I needed a change,” Clare said.

“I was highly specialised working in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), but I wanted to be more of a jack of all trades."

She now feels she has the perfect balance - working short-term contracts across Robina Hospital and Gold Coast University Hospital (GCUH), while also picking up rural and remote placements for two to four weeks at a time in between.

“For me, nursing is about making people’s lives better, whether that’s having a yarn or helping them feel more comfortable with pain relief,” she said.

“No matter where you show up, the goal is the same.”

Following some time in ICU at Robina Hospital, Clare is off to Normanton in Queensland’s Gulf Country next.🧳👩‍⚕️

A new chapter is starting at Robina Hospital.✨

Following the move of the Complex Management Unit to the new H Block at Gold Coast University Hospital, H2 East is now being refurbished – reimagining the ward to better support older adults and people experiencing cognitive impairment. 🏡

The refreshed ward will include 20 beds (10 Acute Cognitive beds and 10 Acute Geriatric beds), with a strong focus on comfort, familiarity and connection.

Gold Coast Health Nurse Unit Manager Tracey Miller said the refurbished ward will better support older adults and people experiencing cognitive impairment.

“This refit at Robina gives us the opportunity to create a space that feels calm, familiar and supportive for patients,” Tracey said.

“Thoughtful design elements such as clear wayfinding, access to natural light and comfortable, homelike spaces can help people feel more settled, maintain independence and stay connected during their care.”

From personalised bedrooms and quiet activity spaces to a revitalised garden terrace and nature-inspired artwork, the ward has been carefully designed to support wellbeing at every step. 🌿

Works are now underway, with H2 East Robina set to reopen mid-year.

We're proud to announce a new diabetes and endocrinology consultation service has launched at Robina Hospital.

Endocrinologist Dr Aongus O'Brolchain, Dr Yi Shan Der and Diabetes Nurse Practitioner Nichola Hinton are joining forces to provide weekday inpatient consultations, bringing specialist diabetes care directly to clinicians and patients across the hospital.

“The goal is world-class diabetes care and support for surgical, rehab and orthopaedic teams, as well as helping our medical colleagues and developing a base for research into endocrinology,” Dr O'Brolchain said.

“We want to establish ourselves in clinics and inpatient consultation services and help Robina become the best hospital it can be.”

It’s a great step forward for specialist care on the southern Gold Coast.

After eight years volunteering at Robina Hospital, Colleen still finishes each shift feeling inspired.

“You hear so many sad stories, but what shines through in each story is the bravery of the people involved,” she said.

Colleen said she gets a lot out of helping people at what can often be a stressful time – visiting hospital.

“It’s a nice thing to help people and lessen their anxiety ahead of their appointments,” she said.

Thank you, Colleen, for your efforts to make hospital visits as seamless as possible.

When local radio host Ashley Palmero went in for what he thought was a routine check‑up, he never imagined it would spark the beginning of his cancer journey.

A small lump on his cheek, initially believed to be a cyst, turned out to be something far more serious - melanoma.

“People hear ‘melanoma’ and think of marks on the skin, but mine wasn’t that at all,” Ash said.

Through every twist in the road, which include surgery and several rounds of immunotherapy at both Gold Coast University Hospital (GCUH) and Robina Hospital, Ash stayed grounded and positive.

“The way I saw it was the rollercoaster is rolling, I’ve just got to ride it,” he said.

“The mental game is the toughest, but accepting the situation helped me limit stress and worry.”

This Melanoma March, Ash is sharing his experience to remind others that no two melanomas look the same and you know your body best.

We’re incredibly happy to share that Ash is now “out the other side” and doing well. 👏

His story is a powerful reminder that early action can save lives. Is it time to get that check-up you’ve been putting off? 🤔✨
