of the events held and share with you your stories and experiences as hardworking health professionals and most importantly good human beings. On the subject of good people it would be remiss of me not to mention our well-deserved HKH nominee’s and of course winners at the recent NSLHD Exceptional People Awards held at the State Library–To Gwen Hickey, RACS, OPD and Allied Health Manager ( Individual Leadership Award ), Dr Lucy Lutze Deputy Director HKH ED ( Individual Planetary Health Award ) and the HKHED as part of the ED Green Teams for the team Planetary Health Award I say congratulations! With International Volunteers Week happening this week I was also so excited to see Dean McKeough Co-ordinator Galston Community Health Centre win the Volunteer Award for Safe and Connected Care . Volunteers are truly the cornerstone of our organisation, and we are so grateful for their invaluable contributions. Please take the time to recognise one of our 110 outstanding volunteers at HKH for the giving of their time and for the important role they play in providing the high standard of patient/family care and support that we do at HKH. I look forward to celebrating and thanking our volunteers at a morning tea on 23 May 2025 Finally, there is only a few days to go for staff to get their annual flu vaccination rollout before the 1 June 2025 deadline. Whilst HKH compliance is going well there are still hundreds of staff still required to get their jab before our on-site clinic closes. At HKH the vax is available in our Outpatients Area on Level 1–the online consent and “check in” process is easy, and I encourage all staff to attend for their shot before it’s too late. With Winter now here and as healthcare workers, it is also important we remind our family and friends to get their flu vaccinations to protect themselves against severe complications this winter season.
