Dr Simon Bugden, Acting Executive Director Caboolture, Kilcoy & Woodford Clinical Directorate
The number of COVID-19 patients under our care continues to fall. This is great news, CKW. Well done!
It’s now time to look forward and determine how we return to a business as usual (BAU) approach.
What does BAU look like and feel like with COVID-19 still in the community? Please get in touch with your thoughts as we put the plan together.
Important information to help you today. Key points include:
- Metro North remains on a Tier 3 response – which includes High Risk PPE as defined in Table 3 of the Queensland Health Pandemic Response Guidance.
- At CKW, a plan is being developed to resume planned care and ability to continue BAU processes. This will be a gradual, staged approach over 1-2 weeks.
- Check the Fit Testing Extranet page for CKW dates and phone 5316 2422 to make an appointment. Spaces remain available to be tested this week. Also visiting Kilcoy Hospital.
- Once you have had a booster, please upload your vaccination certificate. Find the blue Register Your Evidence button in the middle of this page on the extranet. The evidence page is internal access only (don’t use Internet Explorer).
- There will also be a staff drop-in support service to help you update your vaccination status. It will be at Caboolture Hospital Library tomorrow (Tuesday 15/2), Wednesday (16/2) and Thursday (17/2) from 8.30am to 3pm. More details are on this poster.
Please remember to print and display this information in areas where staff cannot easily access email.
Stay calm, slow COVID-19 and enjoy the decrease. If you can, consider taking a break and recharge!
