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? 🤔✨

Happy National Social Prescription Day! Today we celebrate the power of connection as a form of care.

Social prescribing links people with non‑medical, community‑based activities that reduce loneliness and support mental wellbeing.

We’re proud to be part of this global movement through our ongoing collaboration between the Interdisciplinary Persistent Pain Centre and Creative Health Hub, bringing people together in our Creative Connection Workshops. These workshops create safe spaces where people living with persistent pain can:

✨ Connect with others who understand
✨ Share experiences without judgement
✨ Explore the arts as a pathway to expression and recovery
✨ Feel seen, supported, and reminded that we're not alone

Harmony Week is about connection, understanding, and recognising the richness of every story.

At Robina Hospital, we were privileged to share a deeply moving experience on the Palliative Care Inpatient Unit, where Chiho Kagawa brought the rare and beautiful sounds of the Glass Armonica to patients, families, and staff.

Originally from Japan, Chiho’s work in sound healing spans decades and is shaped by her own lived experience of serious illness and recovery.

Her performance created a shared moment of calm and reflection in a space where care, compassion, and humanity are felt so deeply.

💛 This is Harmony Week in healthcare - connection, compassion, and creativity in action.

Last week, our Robina Specialist Medical Unit (SMU) marked World Delirium Awareness Day by championing teamwork to improve delirium care.

Eat Walk Engage Facilitator Sarah Gage says delirium—an acute state of confusion, most common in people over 65—is often missed, with one in four cases misdiagnosed.

“We ran a World Delirium Awareness state photo competition to encourage teams to show how they prevent delirium," Sarah said.

Through the Eat Walk Engage initiative, SMU has launched a quality improvement project with bedside posters and daily conversations focused on three key pillars:

🥗 Eat – Supporting nutrition and hydration
🚶 Walk – Encouraging mobility
🧩 Engage – Promoting social and cognitive activity

SMU and Acute Care of the Elderly continue to lead the way with an evidence‑based approach that reduces complications and improves outcomes.

👏 Together, we’re strengthening care and making a lasting impact.

Jett's decision to become a nurse came from a personal experience.

"I was quite sick when I was younger and spent a lot of time in hospital," he said.

"I received lots of love and care from the nurses and now I feel like it's my chance to give that to others."

Jett has joined us from the Philippines 🌴and is now one of our Newly Qualified Nurses. He is working in the Acute Care of the Elderly unit at Robina Hospital. 👨‍⚕️

"I find being compassionate is really important in the nursing field," Jett said.

"There's always a reason for why something is happening, and if I can bring compassion into my work I can connect with my patients."

Welcome to Gold Coast Health, Jett! We know your patients and team will love you. 🤩

Starting the day right at Robina Hospital! 🥣

A simple early‑morning idea is making a big difference to patient flow and experience.

The Transfer Unit Breakfast Club welcomes patients who are ready for discharge or transfer from 6am, offering a complimentary breakfast pack and a comfortable space to relax while final steps are completed.

Nurse Unit Manager Helena Anne Moore said the initiative is helping open inpatient beds earlier in the day and easing pressure on the Emergency Department.

“The Breakfast Club provides a welcoming space for patients who are ready to leave their ward,” Helena said.

“By transferring patients earlier in the morning, we can free up beds and support smoother patient flow across the hospital.”

Patients can enjoy cosy seating and a calm environment while they wait - as demonstrated here by Registered Nurse Natasha Roberts and Endorsed Enrolled Nurse Jessica Wilson. 📸

A fantastic example of teamwork improving both patient care and hospital flow. 👏

It's International Women's Day, and an exciting new service for women is coming to Robina Hospital. ♀️

The Outpatients Hysteroscopy service gives women faster access to care with little disruption to daily life - in fact, patients can have the procedure and go home in the same day.

It is a minimally invasive medical procedure that allows a doctor to examine the inside of the uterus and cervix to diagnose causes of heavy periods, infertility, postmenopausal bleeding, and recurrent miscarriages.

🏥 Gold Coast University Hospital is one of the first hospitals in Australia to provide the outpatient service, with clinicians visiting us from all over the country to learn. Now, we're about to commence the service at Robina Hospital at the end of the month to support more women.

Here's what women can expect on the day of their procedure. 🌟

The Creative Health Hub is marking International Women’s Day with a special art exhibition celebrating the creative talents of women across Gold Coast Health and our community. 💜

Featured artist Alisa Bray, Administration Officer at Robina Hospital, is showcasing her beautiful graphite sketches of vintage-inspired birds on brown paper. Her work captures delicate detail, quiet stillness and the calming beauty of nature. 🕊️
“Working in the hospital, you see how important moments of calm and beauty can be," Alisa said.

“Creating these drawings has been a way for me to share something peaceful with the staff, patients and families who pass through these spaces."

The exhibition forms part of the Creative Health Hub’s ongoing commitment to supporting staff creativity and integrating the arts into healthcare environments.

🖼️ The exhibition is on display throughout March in the main corridor at Robina Hospital. ✨
