Message from the board chair Trevor Danos AM
Dear colleagues,
The hybrid event will be hosted by the NSLHD’s AWiML Group and will feature addresses from Adjunct Professor Claire Harris and Dr Danette Wright and will be held at Hornsby Hospital and online. You can register your attendance and find more information at the following link: https://bit.ly/awiml_ managingchallengingbehaviours. The closing date of the 2024 Public Service Commission People Matter Employee Survey (PMES) is fast approaching. This survey is an important opportunity for all staff members to share their views on working at NSLHD and helps inform initiatives to make the district an even better place to work. The survey closes on Friday 13 September 2024 and staff can access it by using this link: https://bit.ly/PMES-2024. The Board and I take a very keen interest in the results of the PMES and I am looking forward to reviewing the results of this year’s survey. I would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who has already taken the time to complete the survey.
As we work towards the later stages of the year planning has already started on the 2024 Annual Public Meeting, which will take place on Friday 22 November. I always look forward to the Annual Public Meeting as it provides us with an opportunity to highlight the district’s many achievements by reporting publicly on the last twelve months and invite members of the public to attend and ask questions. At the APM we will also be announcing any new entries to the NSLHD Board Honour Roll which recognises exceptional and outstanding service provided by a person who has had strong involvement with our district over an extended period. Nominations for the 2024 NSLHD Board Honour Roll will close on 30 September and information on how to nominate can be found on the website at: https://www.nslhd. health.nsw.gov.au/AboutUs/Pages/How-to- nominate.aspx. The Board and I are looking forward to reviewing the nominations and adding to the honour roll, which is now in its third year. As an enthusiastic member of the district’s Advancing Women in Medical Leadership (AWiML) Group I am proud of being part of this group committed to ensuring we continue to create a diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce. The next AWiML masterclass is coming up on 17 September at 12:45pm and will focus on giving our staff tools to help them with managing challenging behaviours.
