Message from the chief executive Adjunct Professor Anthony M. Schembri AM
Dear colleagues, As we celebrate Administrative
and for staff who work in category A roles, working with vulnerable patients, they need to ensure they comply with NSW Health’s vaccination requirements. You can find more information about the 2024 vaccination program on the intranet. I would like to thank everyone who has already received their vaccine for playing a role in keeping our patients, colleagues and community members safe this winter. The district is currently seeking feedback on the draft version of the NSLHD Clinical Services Plan 2024-2029, which can be viewed via the following link: https://bit.ly/ draft-CSP-NSLHD. The Clinical Services Plan is a strategic document that outlines the priorities and service direction for the district over the next five years. It focuses specifically on the issues that affect the health of our catchment population and the delivery of our health services. It has been in development throughout 2023-2024 in collaboration with clinical networks, service directors, hospital and LHD executives, and service partners. Anyone is welcome to provide feedback and you can do so by visiting this link: https:// bit.ly/CSP-feedback. Warm regards, Adjunct Professor Anthony M. Schembri AM Chief Executive Northern Sydney Local Health District
Professionals Day (3 May) I would like to take the opportunity to recognise and thank all of our wonderful administrative staff from across our district. Our administrative staff work very hard and provide a huge amount of support to our departments, executive teams and the staff members they assist. They play a large role in helping our district deliver high quality care to our patients and community and are very much appreciated. I was pleased to attend the launch this week of the new NORTH Foundation fundraising campaign which aims to raise more than $55 million for clinical trials across the district. The three-year campaign is aimed at expanding our trial capacity, and positioning us as a national and international hub of clinical trial excellence. The campaign follows the $20 million donation from Kay Van Norton Poche and her husband Greg for a cancer clinical trials centre, and will significantly strengthen our clinical trial activity across all health disciplines. The NORTH Foundation has also launched the annual end of financial year tax appeal. If you or someone you know is interested in helping to raise funds via a tax-deductible donation, please visit https://bit.ly/4aOJZFk. As we move into winter, the 2024 influenza vaccination program has started for all healthcare workers across the district. It is important for everyone to consider receiving the annual influenza vaccination,
