Bring Your Teddy to Work / School Day
Wed 11 October 2023
Radiating comfort and calm, teddy bears are our childhood friend who never lets us down. The second Wednesday in October is “Bring your teddy to work / school day” which encourages us to spend time with our favourite teddy bear. It is a great icebreaker and conversation starter.
For Obstetrics and Gynaecology specialist, Dr Marise Subrayan, every day is a Bring Your Teddy to work day. Gorgeous vintage wooden bear, “Ditty” has pride of place in her consulting rooms in St Augustine’s hospital. He was a gift from a grateful patient and is one of Dr Subrayan’s most treasured keepsakes – ouchy ear and all!
Dr Subrayan is a great advocate of women’s health – she encourages female empowerment and education and assisting women in making individualised, informed decisions about their physical, mental and sexual health.
