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

The flooding in our region and across South East Queensland has been a very extreme and for some a traumatic experience.<\/h4>\n

I want to pay special tribute to all CKW staff for stepping up in the face of adversity to prioritise the health and safety of patients and the community, and indeed looking after one another. The small acts of kindness that I have witnessed amongst the staff is really touching.<\/p>\n

We had so many flood heroes who went above and beyond, working extra hours and extra shifts, and welcoming Metro North Health staff from other facilities. You moved clinics to virtual delivery and ensured continuity of care despite extremely challenging circumstances.<\/p>\n

A special shout out to Dave Payne, Kilcoy Hospital Operational Support Services Supervisor, who was cut off from home so worked in the hospital kitchen for three days, cooking delicious meals that were greatly appreciated by weary clinical staff.<\/p>\n

Thank you also to Caboolture Hospital Shuttle Bus driver, Neville Davidson, for going above\u00a0and beyond during the big wet to help staff and visitors safely get to\u00a0their cars.<\/p>\n

Our Patient Support Services team also did an incredible job \u2013 Caboolture Hospital supervisor and dad-to-be, Jack Nicholas, worked tirelessly over the weekend, despite the risk that his wife Bec could go into labour at any time.<\/p>\n

I know that there are many others, but these are a few examples of our wonderful people.<\/p>\n

Severe weather is forecast for the rest of today and across the weekend. However, I\u2019m confident that we have the plans and processes in place to continue to care for patients and the community during this second round. We\u2019ve got this!<\/p>\n

Do you want to help with the flood clean-up?<\/h3>\n

The \u2018Moreton Mud Army\u2019 has started to do its bit for the flood recovery. If you\u2019d like to help, you can sign up at\u00a0Volunteering Queensland<\/a>\u00a0to be part of the crew.<\/p>\n

The Brisbane Mud Army 2.0 is also set to help clean-up the city following last weekend\u2019s devastating floods. To register, sign up with\u00a0Volunteering Queensland<\/a>,<\/p>\n

The State Government has also set up a Community Recovery Hub<\/a> in Caboolture to provide the community with easy access to community recovery workers and information on grants and support.<\/p>\n

The Caboolture Community Recovery Hub is located on Level 1 of the Learning and Business Centre, Caboolture Town Square, 4 Hasking St, Caboolture. It\u2019s open from 9am to 5pm, 7 days a week.<\/p>\n

If you are cleaning up flooded areas, make sure your tetanus shot is up to date. Contact your GP for a booster. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are excellent therapeutic guidelines<\/a> should you be faced with water-immersed wound infections.<\/p>\n

Thankyou Julie and DON CKW<\/h3>\n

Many of you who have been at CKW a long time will have had the privilege of working with Director of Nursing and Midwifery, Julie Lahey.<\/p>\n

It is with mixed feelings that I write to tell you all that Julie has decided it is time for a new challenge.<\/p>\n

I would like to thank Julie for her years of dedicated service to the CKW Directorate and its community.<\/p>\n

Her contribution to clinical service delivery and the nursing profession should be recognised and celebrated. She is a very compassionate and professional leader who delivered a strong and agile nursing and midwifery workforce.<\/p>\n

The CKW Director of Nursing and Midwifery role is now being advertised on SmartJobs. Applications close next Friday (11 March).<\/p>\n

Finally,<\/h3>\n

A reminder to register your COVID-19 booster with Metro North Health. Please visit the COVID-19 extranet site and upload your evidence certificate as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Take Care,<\/p>\n
