Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital (RBWH) is Queensland’s largest hospital and provides a wide range of clinical services in the heart of Brisbane.

RBWH employs more than 9,000 multidisciplinary staff that together provide more than one million episodes of life-saving treatment each year.

RBWH provides outstanding care across an extensive range of clinical areas and is known for its preeminent cancer care, maternity, trauma and burns care.

RBWH’s service to the community is immense. The hospital has close to 1,000 beds, providing more than one tenth of all patient services in Queensland as well as services to patients in Northern New South Wales and the Northern Territory.

As the largest provider of telehealth services in Queensland, thousands of patients can connect with RBWH’s specialists via state-of-the-art instant video connection, bringing expert care to rural and regional patients and reducing the need for them to travel large distances away from home.

Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital (RBWH) has won a national Australian Council of Healthcare Standards (ACHS) Quality Improvement Award at the 2017 ACHS/ACHSM Joint Congress.

The Kidney Supportive Care—our patients, our care program took out the Clinical Excellence and Patient Safety Award for its work with patients with advanced kidney disease who require complex healthcare decision-making.

RBWH Director Kidney Health Service Dr Helen Healy said the program was developed to support patients facing hard decisions about their chronic kidney disease.

“At the same time patients with advanced chronic kidney disease have a significant number of physical and psychosocial symptoms to manage, which can be both physically and emotionally distressing,” Dr Healy said.
