Message from the chief executive Adjunct Professor Anthony M. Schembri AM
Dear colleagues, I’m excited to share the news that
Thank you to all of our staff who took part, and to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Service for organising another fantastic event. It was a powerful day, with people generously sharing their stories to help deepen understanding and support meaningful change. I would like to congratulate the NSLHD staff members who were recently recognised at the inaugural 2025 Single Digital Patient Record (SDPR) Awards. It is a privilege to be able to work with so many staff members who are helping pave the way in the SDPR rollout. It was lovely to see these efforts recognised at a state level. You can read more about the winners on page 7 in the issue of this newsletter. To have winners and finalists of these awards is a testament to the incredible talent across our district and the vital role NSLHD is playing in one of the most significant digital transformations in the state health system’s history. It was a pleasure to join staff at Ryde Hospital for a barbecue celebrating the completion of early works on the redevelopment. Hosted by our construction partner A.W Edwards, it was great to meet the team behind this important project. Thank you to everyone involved, the Ryde community will soon benefit from modern, purpose-built facilities supporting world-class care. Warm regards, Adjunct Professor Anthony M. Schembri AM Chief Executive Northern Sydney Local Health District
the district has officially launched the Tomorrow’s Medicine Today podcast in collaboration with the Kolling Institute. The podcast is hosted by Professor James M. Elliott and Associate Professor Matthew Doane, acclaimed clinician-researchers from the district, who explore cutting-edge ideas and breakthroughs with leading voices in medical innovation. You will have the opportunity to hear from many researchers and learn all about their work and lives. You can tune in by visiting the website: https://bit.ly/nslhd-tmt and on Spotify: https://bit.ly/448P755. Thank you to the teams involved in bringing this podcast to life. It is an incredible step forward and I hope everyone can take away some insights from the series. Our annual Quality and Improvement Awards were held recently at Royal North Shore Hospital and I was blown away by the standard of submissions again this year. We had 45 submissions, and I would like to thank everyone who took the time to nominate a staff member or team for an award. Congratulations to all our winners and finalists of these awards. Your commitment to innovation and high-quality care to our patients does not go unnoticed. Keep an eye out for the next newsletter, where we’ll share all the highlights from the 2025 QI Awards. The Muru Dali Gili Gili Employee Network Day at Macquarie Hospital was an important and meaningful event for our district. This biannual event is always a great opportunity to bring staff together to learn and discuss the experiences Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people face across government and non-government agencies.
