WHAT'S HAPPENING
Remember September
Do you recall "Matching March"? Now, get ready for "Remember September"!
The Patient ID Taskforce is back and we want to congratulate you on your hard work. Reported patient ID incidences have decreased in the last two months! But we're not done.. Now, we are calling out to you. It's time to educate our patients on the importance of check the 3 points of identification (Name, DOB, and MRN). We're looking for team submissions for a poster aimed at empowering patients to remind us to check their ID bands. Prizes will be awarded for the most inventive and creative posters. Submissions are due by 30th September and to be emailed to Sophie.Lange@health.nsw.gov.au.
Remember... check those ID's in September!
Periop Nurses Week 4 - 8 October
We are preparing to celebrate Perioperative Nurses Week with lots of positivity this year! In 2022, this national week to recognise the work of theatre nurses will have a focus on Wellness & Self Care. In keeping with this theme, we will be holding Pilates, Stretching & Core Strength classes before work. We will also be practicing a Mindfulness session one afternoon. It can’t all be relaxing though – we will also cater to the competitive streak of perioperative nurses by running a number of competitions. These include “Match the Theatre Shoes with the Wearer” and “Can You Guess How Many Sutures are in the Bag?” The appearance of the Locker Fairy with treats for all will elevate our spirits and help to further build our positive team culture. We can’t wait!
Competition Match the shoes with the nurse!
