It’s official! Community and Oral Health has been fully accredited for the next 12 months by the Australian Council of Health Care Standards.<\/h4>\n

The directorate has met every action listed in all of the standards. Well done team COH!<\/p>\n

This outcome was the result of a lot of hard work across every service line, and supported by the\u00a0 guidance of our safety and quality team.<\/p>\n

For those that we missed!<\/h3>\n

\"LainieNot everyone could attend our COH Staff Excellence Awards ceremonies which were held at Brighton, Stafford, Caboolture, Chermside, Herston, North Lakes, Cooinda House and the Oral Health Centre recently.<\/p>\n

However, Lainie White, Manager Corporate Services took the time to personally thank and recognise Amanda Philp at their facility meeting late last week.<\/p>\n

Amanda, was a very popular and deserving dual winner of the Excellence in Performance category and here is why:<\/p>\n

“Amanda provided incredible support and planning to facilitate the move of the Caboolture Dental Clinic to the Satellite Hospital.<\/p>\n

“No task was to difficult nor request too small for this turbo-charged achiever. Amanda enabled the Caboolture leadership team to make a seamless transition to enable the provision of clinical services on opening day.<\/p>\n

“Amanda’s project management expertise enabled her to ensure the leadership team could continue providing service delivery confident in the knowledge that she had their back to support them on the relocation journey.<\/p>\n

“Amanda, we could not have done such a fine job without your encouragement, communication, organisation and determination.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

Compliment – Rapid Access to Community Care Service<\/h3>\n

Since its inception late last year, the Rapid Access to Community Care Service (RACC) has been making a wonderful difference to our patients, and ensuring that many elderly people in the community have better access to community care and support at home.<\/p>\n

Please find following a great compliment about the service:<\/p>\n

“Thank you to the RACC service for sending Alyse the occupational therapist to help my husband.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Alyse was so helpful and showed a lot of respect, compassion and kindness, and resolved my husband’s problem, which he will be eternally grateful for.<\/p>\n

“The RACC service is a great benefit to the whole community and I hope it will continue. Thank you.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Farewell to John<\/h3>\n

\"JohnMany of you will fondly know John Axam the Facility Manager for Nundah Community Health Centre and Halwyn Centre who recently announced his retirement.<\/p>\n

John will be retiring from Queensland Health, taking leave from 3\/12\/2023, with an official retirement date of 3\/02\/2024.<\/p>\n

John commenced in Public Works in 1988 and began work with Queensland Health in Corporate Office in 1999. He has dedicated his service in our business for nearly 24 years.<\/p>\n

His current role is Facility Manager (a post he has held for half of his career), currently at Nundah Community Health Centre and Halwyn Centre.<\/p>\n

John’s\u00a0passion for building assets and maintenance is what\u2019s made him a key contact within the Administration cohort.<\/p>\n

He has contributed to the facility teams through his stability, hard work and dedication ensuring the very best for his staff and facilities.<\/p>\n

John has been an invaluable member of the facility team and will leave a lasting impact. Please join our facility teams and broader COH, in wishing John all the very best upon his retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

Understanding gifts and sponsorships<\/h3>\n

Lots of great work has been done this year to build partnerships with our community. Partnerships and collaborations are important, but as public sector employees, we’re also bound by rules around\u00a0gifts<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0sponsorships<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With Christmas nearly here, it\u2019s time to remind ourselves of those rules about which\u00a0gifts<\/a>\u00a0can be accepted, what needs to be declared, and what should be declined.<\/p>\n

If your team is planning an event, education or training session that involves a company or organisation providing “free” catering or donations, this maybe a sponsorship that needs approval at the Metro North level.<\/p>\n

More information about how sponsorships work is available on\u00a0QHEPS<\/a>\u00a0or by talking to\u00a0Metro North Communications<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"Domestic<\/a>DV Safe Phone Fundraiser Walk<\/h3>\n

Please join Michelle Kane and Lainie White,\u00a0 and Community and Oral Health staff for a wellness walk that will raise funds for a great cause \u2013 DV Safe Phones.<\/p>\n

Date:<\/strong> Thursday 7 December
\nWhere:<\/strong> Brighton Waterfront
\nTime:<\/strong> 6:30 am – Meet at the cafe<\/p>\n

DV Safe Phone focuses on collecting and repurposing old mobile phones to victims of domestic violence. These \u2018Safe Phones\u2019 provide a lifeline to call for help, when it\u2019s needed the most.<\/p>\n

\"TanyaA final shout out<\/h3>\n
