Goodbye 3…Hello 6 Surgical Ward In November last year the staff of ward 3 said their final goodbyes as we transitioned
into ward 6. Staff welcomed the move as the new area has given us a different but seemingly more useful & positive space to work in. Staff particularly are enjoying the larger tearoom, treatment room, multi-purpose room (utilising for in-service at times), Allied health space & the better working air conditioning! We continue to make changes as we are now settling into the business of the ward. We have introduced a swing shift for nursing staff as a trial to assist with patient flow & staff support in the am/pm shifts. The Jury is still out on the sustainability of this! Nursing staff are utilising Teams consistently by communicating updates & changes in the workplace as well as messages of support when staff are recognised for a job well done. Recently one of our staff Mari Collins received a Thank you message from a patient that she was looking after & received many congratulatory messages from her colleagues of support. Our senior nursing staff continue to welcome the new & junior staff. All are busy upskilling/attending
relevant courses & doing learning packages with the
support of our CNE Linta Manuvel to ensure that we are maintaining & striving in providing high standards of care. Overall, the staff of Ward 6 continue to nurture & provide a positive & supportive working environment!
