Clinical Focus This Quarter: Wound Care & Pressure Injury Prevention Our key clinical focus this quarter is wound management and pressure injury prevention, particularly for residents with reduced mobility. Ongoing staff education has been provided on personal hygiene, maintaining skin integrity, appropriate use of pressure-relieving equipment, and regular repositioning for residents unable to move independently. The clinical team is closely monitoring all wounds and actively supporting RNs in the management of complex or slow-to-heal wounds. External wound care specialists are engaged as required to ensure optimal healing outcomes and evidence-based care. Medical Reviews & GP Services Our GP attends the facility every Tuesday to review residents, address concerns, and adjust medications as required. Residents and families are encouraged to speak with the RN on duty or CN Mansi if they wish to request a GP review or discuss any health-related concerns. Allied Health Services Residents continue to have access to visiting allied health services, including optometry, mobile dental services, and Hearing Australia. We are also pleased to offer onsite podiatry services every second Monday, supporting residents with routine foot care, including toenail management. Feedback & Open Communication We value feedback from residents, families, and staff, as it supports continuous improvement in care delivery. Feedback can be shared with the nursing team, Clinical Nurses, or directly with the Clinical Care Coordinator. Open Door Policy My door is always open. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you require support, have concerns, or would like to discuss any aspect of care or services. Kind regards, Manpreet Kaur Clinical Care Coordinator
