Angie Dobbrick, Executive Director, Caboolture, Kilcoy & Woodford Clinical Directorate<\/p><\/div>\n

We\u2019re all committed to providing the best possible care for our patients and the community and so I would like to thank you for all of the work you have done this week.<\/h4>\n

You would have all seen in the media lots of discussion about the unprecedented demand that the entire system is experiencing at the moment and we are no stranger to this in our community.<\/p>\n

As challenging as it is I am very grateful for you all keeping your focus on compassionate care and ensuring you are communicating with our patients and their loved ones.<\/p>\n

You would have also seen in the media and there is much discussion across the health sector about the impact of this year\u2019s flu. The statistics are concerning and the impact of peak flu season is predicted to be with us in a matter of weeks and not months.<\/p>\n

We need to make sure we are prepared and ready to support our community during this time. To this end, we are reviewing our respiratory plans and ensuring our response is ready to go when we need to shift into another gear.<\/p>\n

Staff flu vaccinations ramp up next week!<\/h2>\n

The Caboolture Hospital staff flu vaccination esky is back in business!<\/p>\n

Next week, flu vaccinations for Queensland Health staff will be available at Caboolture Hospital five weekdays (23-27 May) and Sunday (29 May) from 8am-10am, 11am-1pm and 2pm-3.30pm.\u00a0 Please remember to bring your staff ID and Medicare card.<\/p>\n

This will be a mobile service. Phone Ext 8869 to find the location. Remember, the vaccinator may be busy and not able to answer the phone when you call, so please call back later if there\u2019s no answer.<\/p>\n

The CKW COVID-19 booster rate is just over 30 per cent. I strongly recommend having a booster as soon as possible and register your evidence online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RACP Accreditation<\/h2>\n

Congratulations to our paediatric and internal medicine teams, which were recently accredited by the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) for the next 18 months.<\/p>\n

Accreditation is usually for 12 months but the extra six months means we can be set up and working in the new clinical services building before the next round.<\/p>\n

The accreditors noted the strong demand for medical services and were very complimentary to our staff. Well done to everyone involved!<\/p>\n

Flood Recovery Centre open at Beachmere<\/h2>\n

A recovery centre has opened at Beachmere to help people affected by flooding last week. The pop-up hub is open 9am to 12 noon tomorrow and Sunday (22 May) at the Beachmere Area Network Group (BANG) hub, Main Street, Beachmere. More details are available<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Temporary car park repairs<\/h2>\n

Several potholes have appeared in the temporary staff car park following recent wet weather. Our BEMS team has booked in a repair team to fill them next Saturday (28 May). This was the earliest date available.<\/p>\n

What a compliment!<\/h2>\n

I was thrilled to read this lovely poem from Caboolture Hospital Paediatrics Director Dr Fred Nagel. \u00a0It was sent by the parent of a paediatric patient recently, who was happy for us to share it:<\/p>\n

My hat is tipped to the one\u2019s hearts true <\/em>
\nPut their life on the line to help you <\/em>
\nDo their best to help and save <\/em>
\nDo their all to keep you safe <\/em>
\nThese are the ones who go through hell <\/em>
\nAll in a day\u2019s work heads don\u2019t swell <\/em><\/p>\n

This song it goes to the ones <\/em>
\nWho offer kindness when others run. <\/em>
\nSome are seen and often abused<\/em>
\nOthers are there to bring you food<\/em>
\nBut no matter the task they give there all <\/em>
\nTo help others out in times of call <\/em><\/p>\n

A superhero in uniform <\/em>
\nThey battle on in the darkest of storm <\/em>
\nReady to help the tasks they perform <\/em>
\nThese people there hearts so big and warm. <\/em>
\nMuch appreciated we all need to be<\/em>
\nFor the ones who are ready to help you and me. <\/em><\/p>\n

If not for them then we are in strife<\/em>
\nLong hours they work deep into the night. <\/em>
\nAnd off they go disappear from plain sight <\/em>
\nDone all they can they believe is right <\/em>
\nWhen in need these warriors they fight.<\/em><\/p>\n

Finally,<\/h2>\n

The first round of CKW Values Based Recruitment Coaches received their certificates and badges this week. This is part of our Have Your Say organisation action plan to embed fair and transparent recruitment practices. Great work, team!<\/p>\n

Take Care,<\/p>\n
