Disability services action plan<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

There’s always a lot happening at Redcliffe Hospital, but next Monday will be bigger than usual.<\/h4>\n

On Monday morning, Metro North Health will be launching the new Disability Services Action Plan here at Redcliffe with a vidcast from Chief Executive Jackie Hanson, Chief Allied Health Practitioner Mark Butterworth, and Disability Program Director Shannon Dawson.<\/p>\n

I encourage everyone to\u00a0join that vidcast from 10am<\/i><\/b><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0

\"first<\/a>As part of those launch activities, we’ll be welcoming a\u00a0range of disability and community service providers to join us in the Staff Courtyard for our\u00a0first Staff BBQ<\/i><\/b><\/a>\u00a0of 2024.<\/p>\n

Then, from\u00a012:30pm, we’ll be hosting a\u00a0Disability Symposium\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/a>in the Education Centre where hospital staff can learn more about what the Disability Services Action Plan means for clinicians and our consumers.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the Education Centre, our latest cohort of new starters will be welcomed to Redcliffe and Metro North. As part of their orientation, they’ll be introduced to our values, commitment to Health Equity, and what it means to say\u00a0#IamRedcliffe.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

On Monday afternoon, thanks to\u00a0Raise it for Redcliffe<\/i><\/b><\/a>, we’ll officially open the new Rehabilitation and Stroke Unit courtyard, and thank those who helped make it possible.<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who will be helping make all of these events a success on Monday.<\/p>\n

\"ExpansionExpansion works update<\/h3>\n

We held another Infrastructure Forum this week, and the infrastructure team also gave an update at the Staff Forum as well.\u00a0

As the Expansion continues, keep an eye out in your Outlook inbox for Construction Updates. These notices have important information about how works may impact the way we use and move about the campus.\u00a0\u00a0

The project team also remind everyone that we can expect an increase in construction noise as the works ramp-up over the next few weeks. Multiplex has controls in place to minimise noise, vibration, and other impacts, and the\u00a0Metro North project team is working closely with contractors to monitor and minimise those impacts.\u00a0

A reminder too that as car parking gets more challenging on the hospital campus,\u00a0staff can sign up<\/i><\/b><\/a>\u00a0for the staff-only car park in the Redcliffe Showgrounds.\u00a0
