Simon Hill Interim Chief Operating Officer
Meet Simon Hill, Interim Chief Operating Officer Northern Beaches Hospital has welcomed Simon Hill as interim chief operating officer, who brings more than 25 year’s experience across NSW Health to the role. Simon joins the hospital following his most recent position as general manager at Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital, as well as senior leadership roles across information and communications technology, redevelopment and transformation projects within Northern Sydney and Central Coast local health districts. Over recent months, Simon has also led the Northern Beaches Hospital transition work, giving him a strong understanding of the hospital, its people, and the journey ahead. As he steps into the role, Simon said he had already been impressed by the culture and commitment of teams across the hospital. “From my first days on site, I’ve been struck by the energy, professionalism and warmth of the teams here, and by the pride people have in the care they deliver,” he said. “It’s clear that Northern Beaches Hospital has a strong culture built on respect, collaboration and an unwavering focus on patients.” A Northern Beaches local, Simon said the hospital holds personal significance, alongside its important role in the community. Simon’s work in the months ahead will involve supporting stability, safe operations and continuity of care as the hospital continues through the transition process, while also protecting what already works well. Simon can be reached at simon.hill@ healthscope.com.au or 0414 381 546.
Expression of Interest – Allied Health and Nursing and Midwifery staff councils An opportunity is available for allied health, and nursing and midwifery staff to join the Allied Health Staff Council and the Nursing and Midwifery Staff Council of Northern Sydney Local Health District. These councils were established last year as part of the district’s commitment to clinical leadership and engagement. Under the district’s by-laws, it has long had a medical staff council that provides direct advice to the chief executive and NSLHD Board. The model has been expanded to ensure that nursing, midwifery, and allied health professionals also have a formal platform to contribute their expertise and insights at the highest levels of governance. Expressions of interest are now open for Northern Beaches Hospital staff to be appointed as observers to these councils. This is a fantastic opportunity to shape service improvements, contribute to planning and development, and ensure clinician voices are heard at the executive leadership level. The chairs of both councils hold observer status at NSLHD Board meetings, giving these staff a unique opportunity to observe the strategic management and leadership for the district. Expressions of interest close on Friday 13 February. Please send completed EOIs to Anthony.schembri@health.nsw.gov.au For any questions or discussions, please feel free to contact Julia Capper, Executive Director Allied Health – Julia.Capper@health.nsw.gov.au or Adjunct Professor Claire Harris, Executive Director Nursing & Midwifery, Claire.Harris@health.nsw.gov.au for further details. Together, we hope to strengthen the voice of our nursing, midwifery and allied health professionals as we continue to shape the future of healthcare at Northern Beaches Hospital and NSLHD.
