What are some things that your ward does differently to other wards/units? We have a very strong multidisciplinary approach with great collaboration between teams (Medical, Nursing, Allied Health). We have some unique positions that are uncommon in large tertiary centres: 1) Bereavement Coordinator (liaises with families who have had a relative pass away as a patient and also provides support to staff in the workplace 2) ICU Nurse Practitioner service (who provide consistency of care for longer - term patients in the ICU as well as running a vascular access service for the hospital). Do you celebrate any health promotion days? Loud shirt day, RUOK day Has your ward completed and fundraising or have you received donations that have been used towards helping improve the ward?
