No fools with stool rules, bedpan derby winners remember to wash hands 

Published on 13 October, 2011 

Teams of nursing students raced around a fun 'bedpan derby' obstacle course at Rockhampton Campus, requiring them to don medical gear, make a bed, collect a faecal stool and empty a urinary catheter, while dodging sabotage from other teams.

The 'green team' was judged the winner after a chaotic event, as their team member remembered to wash hands at the 'defecation stand' along the route.

The event did have a serious aspect too. A barbecue lunch afterwards raised money to support staff and students who will be providing healthcare to a remote area of Nepal in November.
