As mask supply was running low at a Brisbane GP clinic, a doctor’s engineer husband decided to learn to use an overlocker and make some in order to give patients extra protection.
Dr Trish Baker owns Keperra Family Practice and Medicine on Blackwood and said her family and the community had rallied around the practices with homemade masks.
Dr Baker said although they had enough masks for doctors, nurses and staff, they couldn’t buy masks for patients for love nor money.
Her family, and the practice’s community, jumped in to make one-use-only, temporary fabric masks for patients to wear while they were examined.
The masks for patients were made so there was protection for the staff examining them, as well.
Keeping the staff safe and keeping the people working here safe has always been such an important priority.
Dr Baker said patients had made masks out of lovely fabrics and put a lot of effort into them. It’s been a lovely outpouring of community support, which is really important for staff in medical practices.
Gabe Gallo and Dr Trish Baker with their son Robert Gallo work on making fabric masks for patients.
