16.01.2022 Very inspirational. Today marks the 1st day of our September Regional Paediatric Cardiac Clinic. Today we welcome our new Cardiologists, Tim Colen, Nurse Deanne and Justin Gordon, Specialist Paediatric Cardiac Physiologist who have travelled from Brisbane and will be seeing our Townsville and Surrounds HeartKids and their families over the next 2 and a half days. Once again the team from Brisbane are working their way through appointments from earlier in the year due to ou...r earlier clinic being cancelled due to COVID-19. We understand that for families who are still waiting to be seen by our Brisbane team, that this can be quite frustrating. Please if you have any concerns regarding your HeartKids health (or your own health) that you make an appointment to see your GP or present to emergency at the Townsville University Hospital. Thinking of all our HeartKids and their families who have appointments over the following few days. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G2uOb_25_lY See more
