I’m pleased to share the news that Redcliffe Hospital has been recommended for ongoing ACHS accreditation. This is a fantastic outcome for the hospital and a very proud moment for everyone who works here.<\/h4>\n

Over the past four days, a team of experienced ACHS assessors have spent time in every part of the hospital, assessing us against the national standards. As part of that assessment, they’ve looked at our governance processes and talked at length with our patients, staff, volunteers, and consumers.
\nOur assessment concluded this afternoon with a feedback session by the assessors – and their feedback was overwhelmingly positive.\u00a0\u00a0

Around 200 staff joined us for that feedback session, including Chief Executive Jackie Hanson and Chief Operating Officer Jane Hancock. The Metro North Board Chair and Deputy Chair, Jim McGowan and Dr Kim Forrester joined us too and asked we pass on their compliments and\u00a0congratulations<\/span>\u00a0to all hospital staff.

Thank you to everyone who interacted with the ACHS team this week, helping them to get to know our hospital, and the way we provide our patients with safe and quality care.<\/p>\n

Have Your Say Staff Survey sessions<\/h3>\n

\"havePeople and Culture and the Learning and Development team invite all hospital staff to join one of four sessions\u00a0where the hospital’s Have Your Say Staff Survey results will be shared.\u00a0

These sessions will be an opportunity for everyone to share their ideas and help plan and guide the hospital’s new People Plan.\u00a0

We’ll also use these sessions to help generate ideas around how we can refresh the hospital’s\u00a0#IamRedcliffe<\/i><\/b>\u00a0Agreed Behaviours<\/i><\/b><\/a>.\u00a0

Two of the sessions will be delivered in a face-to-face format, with the other two in a Teams environment. All four sessions should be in everyone’s Outlook calendar.<\/p>\n
