Dear colleagues,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you to Metro North staff have attended a fit testing session over the last six months.<\/p>\n

As a business continuity plan, we are able to give mask options for staff. We want to encourage staff who have been only fit tested to one mask, to come back for another mask fitting. This will give staff at least 2 masks options.<\/p>\n

The fit testing sessions are advertised on the extranet fit testing schedule<\/a>. Should your ward\/unit require a specific fit testing session, please contact MNHHSFitTestingProgram@health.qld.gov.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I would like to invite you to the 2021 Metro North Health Safety and Quality Forum.<\/p>\n

Date: Friday 22 October 2021
\nTime: 8am-5pm
\nLocation: Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre<\/p>\n

The Forum is an annual event for Metro North Health staff and consumers aimed at increasing awareness and highlighting excellence in Safety and Quality.<\/p>\n

This year the theme is about having courageous conversations with our colleagues, consumers and community around safety and quality.<\/p>\n

The program is still in development, but we are proud to announce the opening keynote from human rights activist and former Socceroo Craig Foster AM.<\/p>\n

There is no cost for Metro North staff to attend but, in the event a registered delegate does not attend they will be deemed as a \u201cno-show\u201d and will be charged $65ex GST person to the provided cost centre.<\/p>\n

Registration is now open<\/a> and with a reduced COVID capacity, now is the time to secure your spot. (Please open the registration link in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.) If you have any questions, please let me know. I look forward to seeing you in October.<\/p>\n

I am delighted to open award submissions for the Metro North Safety and Quality Awards which will be presented during the Forum on Friday 22 October 2021.<\/p>\n

The awards focus on the theme “Stepping up for quality and safety at Metro North” under the four pillars of the strategy:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Improve outcomes of care<\/li>\n
  2. Prevent harm and increase reliability of care<\/li>\n
  3. Communicate better<\/li>\n
  4. Strengthen our patient safety & quality improvement culture<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
