Caboolture Hospital experienced a major milestone this week as they went live with the Integrated Electronic Medical Record (ieMR).

Registered Nurses Rachel and Jen from the Specialist Outpatient Department were among the first to experience the transformation which moves from paper-based systems to a streamlined, centralised digital platform - improving how they care for their patients.

“It’s exciting how much it improves clinical communication," Rachel said.

"It makes it much easier to communicate between facilities, doctors and to track patient interactions."

“Ultimately, it's all about creating a better experience for patients, which in turn is a bonus for how we work."

👏 A big shout-out to Rachel, Jen and the whole team involved in this digital transformation.

Queensland’s first Nuclear Medicine training program is here – and it’s a game changer.

A groundbreaking partnership between Queensland Health and RMIT University is giving students the opportunity to pursue careers as Nuclear Medicine Scientists without having to leave the state.

With nuclear medicine playing a vital and rapidly growing role in oncology and cancer care, Travis Pearson, Director of Nuclear Medicine Technology at RBWH, said: “This new program will cultivate local talent, ensuring we have the skilled workforce required in the future.”

The group of eight students has now commenced the program, completing placements across Queensland hospitals — including the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital and The Prince Charles Hospital. Metro North is proud to support three of these students. 👏

Students are studying RMIT’s Bachelor of Medical Radiation Science (Nuclear Medicine) while undertaking all clinical placements right here in Queensland.

“I found it to be one of the most fascinating courses,” said Alexandra, a Metro North student. “I was thrilled to learn it was becoming available in Queensland.”

📅 Applications for the 2026 intake are expected to open later this year, welcoming both school leavers and those looking for a career change. Eligible students will also receive a $15,000 scholarship from Queensland Health to support their studies.
