Aboriginal artist Valerie “Wawarra” Gruenberg with her artwork<\/p><\/div>\n

The RBWH Coronary Care Unit (CCU) in partnership with the consumer portfolio has led a quality improvement project to raise awareness and promote a culturally safe environment for\u00a0Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people accessing the service.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The group commissioned local Aboriginal artist Valerie “Wawarra” Gruenberg to create an artwork to be displayed at the CCU entrance, with the aim of creating a welcoming environment and promoting cultural awareness and safety.\u00a0Valerie travelled all the way from Russell Island on 23 September to present the finished piece to the team.<\/p>\n

CCU clinical nurse Paul Clifford said that it is important that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander consumers accessing the service are cared for respectfully and feel welcomed.<\/p>\n

\u201cValerie has been working on the piece for the past year and put a lot of thought into the artwork with a message of health and connecting people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe wanted to make inter-hospital transfers from across the state feel welcomed and has incorporated a journey across country and indigenous medicines to the artworks story.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u00a0is vital for us as RBWH healthcare workers to acknowledge the traditional landowners, The Turrbal people, who have used medicines and provided care for their people for thousands of years.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
