Carers Week Millions of Reasons to Care The week of 13 to 19 October was dedicated to recognising and celebrating the incredible contribution carers make every day. It was a wonderful reminder of the invaluable role carers play as our partners in care. Engaging with carers and recognising their contributions is essential to providing holistic patient-centred care. By identifying and supporting carers, we can better meet the needs of those we treat and care for in our hospitals and community. Let’s continue to work together to ensure carers are identified Carers Week 2024 was a great success, and we’d like to extend a big thank you to everyone who visited our foyer stall at Ryde Hospital! We were able to support and connect carers and staff alike with resources, information and to useful services. With over 2.65 million carers in Australia - and more than 130,000 in our local health district alone – carer’s week was a great time to engage with, listen to and acknowledge all that carers do. (with their details entered into eMR), feel acknowledged and supported every day. Remember, you can refer a carer to us anytime via phone (02 9462 9488) or eMR or email NSLHD- Carers@health.nsw.gov.au, or visit the Carer Support Service intranet or the Carer Support website for information and resources.
Spiritual Care The Ryde Chaplaincy Working Group held a spiritual care stall for staff and visitors in the hospital main foyer on Monday 28 October from 8.30am till 2.30pm. All faiths were represented and literature spiritual care and the chaplaincy services were also available. All staff were invited to drop by the stall. Meet the Chaplaincy Coordinator, Chris Isika and the Chaplaincy Working Group members; pick up some resources; ask questions; complete a quiz; and find out about the plans for a Multi Faith Room in the redeveloped hospital.
