This week, as it is National Volunteers Week, I had the privilege to engage on a personal level and thank a number of our volunteers.<\/h4>\n<p>These people give the greatest gift of their time to us at CKW, to make our patients and our community entry and journey through our services easier. They are amazing. They show such compassion, respect, professionalism and patient\/community centredness in the work they do for us.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 25px;\">It was also my privilege to receive feedback from two different Metro North staff in relation to care of their family members that I want to share:<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 25px; margin-top: 15px; background-color: #dfdedc;\">\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cI can\u2019t speak higher of the team on 2A, they have been phenomenal in their care.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cMy experience with your team was one of overwhelming compassion and consideration for both my Dad and the never-ending flow of friends and relatives that visited during his final weeks.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;The care provided by the clinical teams in the Emergency Department, Ward 4D and finally Palliative Care was genuine and supportive.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;The Patient Support Services and Food Services teams were thorough and respectful, the food was of a high standard and more importantly the approach to engaging with Dad and visitors (especially in Palliative Care) was compassionate and respectful. The Administration Officer in Palliative Care (Hunter) is an absolute superstar with a cheerful and compassionate disposition which is well suited to the environment in which she works.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 15px;\">These experiences and feedback are what make me so proud to work for and with all of you, in this community and in my role. It makes me proud to be a health professional and really links with my values and vision to improve care and access to our community.<\/div>\n<p>I was, however, disappointed to receive some awful feedback this week about communication from staff towards patients and colleagues that fell well short of expectations.<\/p>\n<p>The feedback I received was about us burdening our patients with our own issues, advising them of how many days and hours we had worked, that people were busy and being derogatory to them (the patients) in regards to why they were seeking care from our services and being overtly derogatory about other staff and services.<\/p>\n<p>As a health care professional at heart, I try to always have respect for others&#8217; position, reality and have compassion for all.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s be frank, no matter how bad our day is, it is better than those who are experiencing a health crisis or issue that has bought them to our services. We all have a critical role in providing compassionate and efficient care to individuals during their most vulnerable moments.<\/p>\n<p>It is imperative that we recognise the impact our words and actions can have on the overall patient experience and trust, as well as on our own wellbeing and teamwork dynamics\/culture.<\/p>\n<p>Creating a respectful and supportive environment for our patients contributes to their healing process and facilitates better outcomes. Your words and actions hold the power to transform the lives of those we care for.<\/p>\n<p>These behaviours, as reflected to me, are not within our values or professional behaviours expected of health care professionals. Please remember that your words and actions hold the power to transform the lives of those we care for \u2013 both positively and negatively.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-position: left top; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover; padding: 15px 30px 10px; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; min-height: 0px; border: 1px solid #dfdedc;\">\n<h3>Vale Dr Liana Tanda<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-21005 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/extranet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/05\/dr-liana-tanda.jpg\" alt=\"Dr Liana Tanda\" width=\"252\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/extranet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/05\/dr-liana-tanda-126x150.jpg 126w, https:\/\/metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/extranet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/05\/dr-liana-tanda-200x238.jpg 200w, https:\/\/metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/extranet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/05\/dr-liana-tanda.jpg 252w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 252px) 100vw, 252px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 252px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 252\/300;\" \/>This week we received the sad news that Dr Liana Tanda (Aitchison) has passed away following a battle with cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Our sincere condolences go to her beloved husband Stephen and children, her parents and sister, family, friends, and Liana and Stephen\u2019s Metro North colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>An obstetrician and gynaecologist, Dr Tanda was a dedicated advocate for gynaecological care and an expert in vulval disorders, which was the focus of a clinic she established at Caboolture Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>She was generous in sharing her expertise with clinicians and was known as someone who got on with the job without a fuss.<\/p>\n<p>Liana worked at Caboolture since 2008 and in her private practice.
