My Updates
Avid cyclist and Clinical Director of the Children's Emergency Department, The Prince Charles Hospital.
My name is Dr Dave Wood and I’m the Clinical Director of the Children’s Emergency Department at The Prince Charle’s Hospital in Brisbane.
You may not realise it, but The Prince Charles Hospital is home to Queensland’s second busiest Paediatric Emergency Department.
There are thousands of children and their parents who seek help at this North Brisbane Hospital during their most vulnerable moments each year and are cared for by my team.
We’ve had a huge growth in presentations to the Children’s Emergency. 10 years ago, we were seeing just over 20,000 presentations per year and over the last 12 months, we’ve now seen close to 37,000 presentations.
I know firsthand the needs of our hospital to support sick and injured kids, which is why this year, I’m participating in my first ever Chain Reaction event to raise money for The Common Good through The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation.
I’m excited to have the opportunity to do something that I love in cycling and at the same time support children’s charities including my own department which will benefit from the funds raised and help support the growth of children’s services in our area.
Specifically, we hope to raise funds to support the purchase of a paediatric ultrasound machine, a critical piece of equipment that is heavily used in the diagnosis and care of kids who present to The Prince Charles Hospital.
I’d appreciate any support you can give.
