Geoff Grima, A/Executive Director, Redcliffe Hospital
We presented the 2023 Redcliffe Hospital Staff Excellence Awards on Monday afternoon with the help of Metro North Chief Executive Jackie Hanson and Metro North Board Members Bonny Barry and Neil Roberts.
Around 120 staff joined us for the awards in the Education Centre and on Teams.
The judging panel for the awards considered 67 individual nominations, with many nominees being nominated for more than one category. This year, we also presented a new award, recognising Health Equity as a key hospital priority.
Thanks again to everyone who submitted a nomination, and congratulations to our deserving winners and nominees.
