EMERGENCY

DEPT VISIT

ENDS ON

A HI!

It was a big hello from our Emergency

Department team after a site visit to their

new facility this week.

They inspected progress on new adult

and paediatric zones for triage and

reception, acute care, urgent care,

resuscitation, short stay and satellite

imaging.

The new facility will also have a

simulation room and space for research,

education and training on level 4.

Psychiatric emergency care will also be

located in the department.

While construction is underway, the team

is busy implementing a new model of care

and projects supported by NSW Health to

improve patient experience, in addition to

the Project RED activities already

underway to improve patient flow.

The site visit is part of a program to give

staff a better idea of the physical space,

and help them plan workflows to support

their model of care and expanded

services.

Planning and familiarisation tours will be

available for all staff before the new

building opens in 2019.

education and research facilities are located

PROJECT MANAGER

SIGNS OFF Our Johnstaff Projects senior project manager Itiah

Thomas has left us to pursue a new career. She’s been

an important part of our project team since major

works started on the new

acute services building in

2016. Dedicated to the

very last, she joined the

project team to check

out the sample lounges

for adolescents in the

new paediatric ward.

Thanks, Itiah and we wish

you well in your new

endeavours!

POPPIES SET TO BLOOM

Our Remembrance Day poppy project continues to blossom with

more than a thousand blooms ready to grace our ANZAC Memorial

gardens in November. This week, John from Maintenance and Jane

from our Bookings Office joined us for a site reccie to discuss the

installation. We are so grateful to the many staff and community

members who have been knitting and crocheting for us, including the

Bookings Office team and our volunteers. We’ve also had some lovely

notes from people wishing to dedicate their poppies to family

members or just remember those who served.
