Health equity is a major focus for Metro North and Queensland Health this year. Through our Metro North Health Equity Strategy we are working to close the gap for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and provide culturally appropriate care.<\/h4>\n

The draft Metro North Health Equity Strategy<\/a> is now open for consultation. Please have your say on how we as a whole and at a local level can improve health outcomes and experiences of care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The consultation period closes on Wednesday 20 April. If you would like to attend the middle manager health equity training, you can search \u2018health equity\u2019 on TMS to find the five units<\/a>. \u00a0

Yesterday, April 7, was World Health Day. This year\u2019s theme – our planet, our health \u2013 ties in well with a body of work happening around our Green Metro North Sustainability Strategy<\/a>. The strategy gives a high level overview of our approach to achieving a more sustainable healthcare system. World Health Day this year recognised that people are dying every day in the Western Pacific region as a result of air pollution. Some of our actions under the Green Metro North strategy include introducing electric vehicles to our fleet, providing electric vehicle charging stations in new carparks, and switching from petrol to electric or battery powered equipment for our gardening teams. \u00a0\u00a0

Clinical Support Services has now transitioned back to facility-based governance. This week I attended several facilities to welcome back Patient Support Services and Medical Imaging staff to the localised governance. This change came out of our Have your Say staff survey which found that these teams are highly embedded in their local facility communities, and it made sense to formalise those relationships. \u00a0\u00a0

We have undertaken a review of the Office of the Chief Executive. Due to increased responsibilities, Director of Office of the CE position has been re-evaluated. The position is now Executive Director, Office of the Chief Executive and Communications. I\u2019d like to congratulate Vivienne Hassed on being appointed to this position, which encompasses Metro North Communication, Deadly Start, the CE Office and Correspondence team, and new initiatives in line with strategic priorities. Viv has been Director Office of the CE for several years including introducing the successful Deadly Start education to employment program. \u00a0

As we move towards the recovery phase of the pandemic, a lot of people who have contributed to Metro North\u2019s response are returning to their usual roles. One person who has made a quiet difference in our Metro North Emergency Operations Centre is the Consumer Liaison Officer Lyndell Coupland who has provided a single point of contact for compliments and complaints since last year. As part of the role Lyndell has talked to everyone who complained to listen and help work through their issues. Thank you, Lyndell.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0

This week I attended some staff expos to meet with staff. At Brighton Health Campus I met with two of our Transition Care team leaders, Leanne Carroll and CNC Christina Birch who shared a lovely letter they have received from a patient\u2019s family about the care she is receiving.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

At the staff expos our Culture and Wellbeing team launched Staff Shout Out<\/a>. If there\u2019s someone who demonstrates Metro North\u2019s values that you\u2019d like to thank or acknowledge, give them a shout out. \u00a0

We continue to be challenged by increased demand coupled with high numbers of staff away due to COVID. The only way we can get through this in the short term is to think outside the box and find alternative ways of providing care outside of our standard hospital approach. If you have an idea, please talk to your line manager, director or EOC.<\/p>\n

Regards,<\/p>\n

Jackie<\/p>\n<\/div>
