The gala dinner is next Friday evening and includes four hours of dinner and drinks, 6-piece band and live show throughout the evening, dancefloor, and the awards. This is a staff only event, so get your colleagues together and celebrate the year.<\/p>\n<p>This time of year can be challenging for many people. Our staff wellbeing support services are available for anyone who needs someone to talk to. Last week we welcomed our new cohort of Peer Responders to the Metro North corporate area. There are multiple ways you can connect with and have a conversation with a Peer Responder. You can choose to talk to any Peer Responder from your area or another facility. If you\u2019d like to reach out, you can find a <a href=\"https:\/\/comms.health.qld.gov.au\/ch\/92002\/53tnw\/2244\/BYZ3saQOKx7vTxVaiBb7S9eqJd.Bxc3m3lQiv.m0.html\">Peer Responder via QHEPS<\/a>. Next week there will also be Staff Psychologists at RBWH and TPCH on Wednesday as part of Psychology Week. At TPCH you can visit the stall in the Safe Space from 11-12.30, and between 11am and 2pm at RBWH. You can also contact the Staff Psychology service on&nbsp;3647&nbsp;9673 or via <a href=\"mailto:MNStaffPsychology@health.qld.gov.au\">MNStaffPsychology@health.qld.gov.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Metro North still has stock of the flu vaccine, so if you didn\u2019t get your shot earlier in the year you can still contact your local vaccination or infection control team. And I encourage those staff due for a COVID-19 booster to take advantage of our vaccination clinics as well.<\/p>\n<p>Regards,<br \/>\nJackie<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week our Surgical, Treatment and Rehabilitation Service (STARS) won two awards at the Premier\u2019s Awards for Excellence.
