14 April 2020 \u2013 COVID-19 (coronavirus)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Colleagues,<\/p>\n

Welcome back to those of you who enjoyed your Easter long weekend at home and a special thank you to all Metro North staff who spent their Easter working across our facilities. I was glad to see in Liz\u2019s message some of you being treated with deliveries of Easter chocolates \u2013 well deserved!<\/p>\n

After an impressive response, applications have now closed for the Director of Clinical Operations roles across Metro North. Soon Redcliffe Hospital, The Prince Charles Hospital and Caboolture Hospital will have additional support to manage operations during the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery.<\/p>\n

Our community\u2019s response to COVID-19 and actions to date to slow the spread are working. As a health service, we will shortly need to consider how we balance patient needs and maintaining our preparedness.<\/p>\n

As promised, here\u2019s your weekly update:<\/p>\n

Preparedness initiatives last week:<\/strong><\/p>\n
