The Cardiology Program at The Prince Charles Hospital services the single largest cohort of inpatients, within the campus. In 2008 - 2009 the interventional program was amongst the first three sites in Australia to introduce cutting edge technology as part of a world-wide research program. The Prince Charles Hospital Cardiology service has a full range of cardiac services including interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, adult congenital heart disease, heart failure and cardiac transplantation. There is a close association between the cardiology unit and radiology unit. There is a magnetic resonance imaging service that has a full range of cardiac investigation services. CCU beds total 16 and Cardiology beds total 76. There are more then 11,000 Echocardiographies, 4000 Cath Lab procedures and 1500 EP procedures performed yearly. The Prince Charles Hospital has the only Heart Transplant Centre in Queensland and has mechanical cardiac support access. Each Registrar works within a clinical cardiology unit and is one of a number of trainees. Allocation of specific terms is by negotiation. The Prince Charles Hospital maintains accredited vocational training positions in relevant specialities, varying from highly specialised to general secondary and tertiary practice. Each clinical unit has specific requirements of its Registrar and these will be discussed upon commencement. The Registrar may be required to rotate to Mackay Hospital as part of their time at The Prince Charles Hospital. Over the next five years The Prince Charles Hospital Cardiology Program will continue to provide a high quality, large volume tertiary and quaternary cardiology service to the population of Metro North and Queensland. It is poised to enhance development of innovative strategies to manage the burden of disease through both chronic disease management programs and new technologies. The Cardiology Program is well positioned to expand and enhance its training and education role to train the workforce for new facilities (public and private) that are planned around the state. The Cardiology Program will foster its collaborations and build capacity at other sites as part of its leadership role. GOLD COAST UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL Gold Coast University Hospital has two campuses, one in picturesque Southport and the other in the fast-growing suburb of Robina.

    Ward 2 at Base Hospital No. 28 in Limoges, France, crowded with men in military uniforms and in the pajamas issued to the sick and wounded at the hospital. In the background are two nurses, crisply dressed in white caps and aprons. Photograph courtesy of the National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 32 (Autumn 2009): 168–85 168 KANSAS HISTORY “A BRAVE AND GALLANT COMPANY ”: A Kansas City Hospital in France during the First World War by Anthony Kovac, Nancy Hulston, Grace Holmes, and Frederick Holmes n a 1963 medical journal, Kansas City dermatologist Dr. Charles Dennie described his colleagues of the U.S. Army’s Base Hospital No. 28 as “a brave and gallant company.”1 The officers, nurses, and enlisted men who comprised the staff of this 2,500-bed general hospital were recruited from the Kansas City environs in 1917. They worked efficiently and well during their posting to Limoges, France, from July 1918 until May 1919, when they returned home and were demobilized. This hospital was one of more than one hundred American base hospitals sent to France to support the two Imillion men who served in the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe during the First World War. The Kansas City per- sonnel of Base Hospital No. 28, nearly all of whom were associated with the University of Kansas School of Medicine, were competent and capable far beyond what is typically imagined of First World War surgical and medical practitioners. Anthony Kovac, MD, is the Kasumi Arakawa Professor of Anesthesiology and vice chair for research of the Department of Anesthesiology; Nancy Hulston, MA, is the director of archives and the Clendening History of Medicine Museum; Grace Holmes, MD, is professor of pediatrics and of preventive medicine emerita; and Frederick Holmes, MD, is professor of medicine emeritus and professor of the history and philosophy of medicine, all of the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City.
