I was delighted to launch the NSLHD People Plan 2022-2027. The plan demonstrates our dedication to making our district a great place to work and receive care. I would like to thank staff who contributed to the development of this plan. I’m really excited to see it in action in the coming years. With winter fast approaching, now is the time to receive your influenza vaccination, which is available to all staff members and your families. I’d like to thank all staff members who have already been vaccinated. For information about the influenza vaccine, online consent, and times and locations it is available go to the NSLHD Home Intranet via the Influenza Vaccination Program 2023 “Quick Links” portal. A priority for our district has been diversity and making sure everyone feels they belong in our organisation. A lot of time has gone into shaping the direction our district will take in this area. The launch of the Diversity, Equity, Inclusions and Belonging Strategy was at the yarning circle, outside Ministry of Health’s 1RR campus. The event had a wonderful feeling to it and I congratulate the staff who helped to make it such a success. It is important that everyone feels they belong and are valued. There are many employee networks you can be a part of. To join one, contact the Organisational, Development and Capacity team. This week is Privacy Awareness Week (1 – 7 May 2023), a global campaign that
highlights the importance of privacy and raises awareness for public sector agencies about how to protect the personal information of the people we serve. We are all too aware of the threat of cyber attacks and have seen the devastation it can cause to people. Members of the public expect that all NSW public sector agencies that collect their personal information use it appropriately and keep it secure. Our district has a key role in safeguarding the personal information of the people we serve, since we deal with their information every day. I encourage staff to take a refresher of the available online privacy training Privacy Module 2 - Handling Personal & Personal Health Information available through My Health Learning. This week is also Human Experience Week and this year the theme is ‘All of Us: The Power of Community’, with the sub themes of: Love, Belonging and Healing. This week is an important reminder to celebrate patient, family, carer, volunteer and caregiver experiences. There are activities happening across the district to celebrate the week and I encourage everyone to get involved.
