Where To Go?
Not long now until everyone arrives on the Gold Coast for the annual RANZCR Conference 2016.
As well as the impressive line up of presentations and workshops, it's the ideal opportunity to catch up with colleagues and head out for an early breakfast or coffee, grab a bite for lunch or enjoy some drinks and a leisurely dinner.
Here are a few ideas for where to go. They are local links with candid overviews that offer a great snapshot of a variety of Gold Coast favourites.
The convention centre in located in Broadbeach where there are dozens of convenient places to get a bite to eat. If you do have time to venture further up or down the coast, you'll be sure to find some great places to stop too - Burleigh Heads, Mermaid Beach, Main Beach - As well as the famous Surfers Paradise. There's so much to choose from along the Gold Coast. Great food, wine and coffee culture is well and truly thriving here.
BREAKFASTS/CAFES
RESTAURANTS
Metropolist - best restaurants
BARS
A few that jump out include the Garden Kitchen & Bar - Conveniently located, along with a number of other restaurants and bars, within Jupiters, Gold Coast. Open right throughout the day.
Social Eating House has a sensational menu - Maybe a good place for dinner one night? Moo Moo Restaurant sounds like a favourite with locals and visitors too.
The relatively new Little Mermaid, looks great for breakfast - Located at Mermaid Beach.
For something really rustic and unique to the Gold Coast, you can take a trip to Miami and find Paddock. A charming bakery with a great vibe and fantastic food.
We hope that's helpful - Any tips and recommendations that you can share with us and other radiologists, please let us know - Send us an email or update on our Facebook, Twitter and Linked in pages.
All the best for the conference from the Prescript team - We look forward to meeting a number of radiologists and clients up there, as arranged, and still have some times free where we'd love to catch up for a coffee or drink. Please do send us a message or give us a call this week or while you're at the conference. We will be there on Friday and Saturday.
Thanks,

Jungle or Space Theme? Making MRI Scans Child Friendly
Calming & Friendly - Child-Centric Care
I always remember visits to my childhood doctor because of the large jar of sweets he had on his desk. I can't remember the reasons for the different visits, but I remember the reward for being 'good' (for good, read compliant!).
I also had an extended hospital stay on a children's ward when I was young. Even though there were sad times, for the most part I remember the love and care provided by the nurses. They and the hospital created the best possible environment for recovery - over 30 years later I can still describe to you a lot of the little details that helped.
Making a visit to a dentist, a clinic or a hospital can be bewildering for a child. Finding methods to make their experience calming and friendly is so important. I loved reading these two separate articles from different parts of the word on how they have tried to make traditional radiology rooms more child-friendly.
'Making Imaging Centers Child Friendly' // Location: USA
"Movie goggles. Basketball stars. Images of fish swimming through the room. Monkeys on the scanner. A room bathed in color. Not only do these distraction techniques in children’s radiology units make kids and parents happier, they’re often decreasing the need for sedation during the studies."- See more at: http://www.diagnosticimaging.com/
'Child-Friendly MRI Suites Reduce Need for Sedation' // Location: Singapore
One MRI scan room has a spaceship theme done up by staff in 2008. The jungle- themed room was set up in 2012 but only decorated last year. A professional artist was commissioned to create the vinyl decals of zebras, pandas and macaws in a bid to make the room more child-friendly.' - See more at https://www.healthxchange.com.sg
What's been your experience? Does your workplace have an imaging department that is child-friendly?
Merry Christmas!
We hope you have a very Merry Christmas. Thank you for your encouragement and support during Prescript's first year. We look forward to working with you in 2016!
Best wishes
James, Nicola and Ian.
