The Bendigo Health Foundation, together with the Palliative Care Auxiliary, is proud to support two Bendigo Health nurses to undertake a Postgraduate Certificate in Palliative Care through funded scholarships.

The scholarships are helping nurses build their knowledge, develop new skills and bring new ideas back to the ward — helping strengthen care for patients and families.

For nurse Emily Coughlan, the course has also provided an opportunity to reflect on why she chose a career in palliative care.

“It gives you an opportunity to step back and remind yourself why you do the work you do.”

These scholarships are another way that the generosity of our community is helping create impact across Bendigo Health.

Thanks to the incredible support of our community, the Bendigo Health Foundation has funded the purchase of a radial EBUS probe, helping more patients access an important diagnostic lung procedure closer to home — without the need to travel to Melbourne.

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in Australia, making earlier and more accurate diagnosis incredibly important.

The new, smaller probe is expected to:
🔹 Improve diagnostic accuracy by up to 45%
🔹 Reduce the number of patients needing referral to Melbourne
🔹 Help patients receive a diagnosis and begin treatment sooner

Anthony Yau, Clinical Unit Head of Respiratory Medicine, said “This new program and investigation model means we can diagnose patients at an early stage and initiate treatment earlier. The alternative was to refer the patient to Melbourne. Early diagnosis means better outcomes.”

This is another example of how community support can make a real difference to healthcare in our region. 💙
