Staff Update<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Thank you for your support over the past week as I have acted in the Executive Director position while Glynis is taking some well-earned rest. Please find following some updates and useful information for this week.<\/h4>\n

Flu vaccinations to start<\/h2>\n

As you will have seen the Flu Vaccination Timetable<\/a> is now out with vaccinations starting next week on Tuesday 26 April at Brighton Health Campus in Clinic Room 2, Dolphin House\u00a0from 8.00 am to 3.00 pm.<\/p>\n

With a significant flu season expected I encourage as many staff as possible to take advantage of this opportunity to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n

Please view the Flu Vaccination Timetable<\/a> which details the vaccination clinic locations over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

Nominate a\u00a0COH Administrative Superstar!<\/h2>\n

Administrative Professional Day is celebrated worldwide to celebrate our devoted administration staff and to simply say thank you. As part of this day, Community and Oral Health is recognising\u00a0staff excellence and achievements\u00a0of individuals and teams who make a significant contribution and demonstrate a strong commitment to our values.<\/p>\n

We are looking for nominations across three categories (Teamwork, High Performance and Compassion) to highlight the amazing work people do across the service and show our gratitude.<\/p>\n

Nominations will close 5.00 pm, Friday April 29, and will be reviewed by a panel of judges, with winners announced as part of the Administrative Professionals Day celebrations on Friday, 6\u00a0May 2022.<\/p>\n

Please check out how to nominate your workmate or team via the attached guidelines. I can\u2019t wait to see the great things being done by our\u00a0Superstar Administration teams and individuals!<\/p>\n

Email all nominations to\u00a0coh-admincoordinator@health.qld.gov.au<\/a><\/p>\n

Aged Care Criminal History Checks and NDIS Worker Screening Checks<\/h2>\n

With the new design of COH ID cards being rolled out progressively over the next 12 – 24 months\u00a0a few\u00a0questions have been raised about Aged Care Criminal History Checks and NDIS Worker Screening Checks.<\/p>\n

Please be aware that NDIS Worker Screening Checks are mandated for staff who work at Cooinda\u00a0House, Gannet House and the Halwyn\u00a0Centre.<\/p>\n

All other staff must have either an Aged Care Criminal History Check or an\u00a0NDIS Worker Screening Check.\u00a0Work is underway to map the NDIS Worker Screening Check process and update the procedure and we will keep you posted about the outcome.<\/p>\n

Supporting patient flow in Redcliffe Hospital ED<\/h2>\n

It is great to hear about how our COH-RAN team have been assisting the Redcliffe Emergency Department to manage hospital capacity by proactively looking at referrals to Community and Oral Health.<\/p>\n

Thank you to Fiona, Julia, Paul and their team as well as the Brighton Rehabilitation Unit for\u00a0being open\u00a0to\u00a0explore new pathways.<\/p>\n

It was\u00a0very\u00a0pleasing to see the transfer\u00a0of our first patient directly to the Brighton Rehabilitation Unit last week without that patient having to occupy an acute hospital inpatient bed.<\/p>\n

Congratulations\u00a0to everyone\u00a0involved. The\u00a0work that is being done across all of our clinical services is reducing pressure on the hospital system.<\/p>\n

Name the Brighton\u00a0Hill<\/h2>\n

We have received some very creative names for the new staff and visitor space on the \u201chill\u201d between Dolphin House and 19th Avenue.<\/p>\n

The men\u2019s shed has generously volunteered to make a sign to increase the identification and usage of this space as a break-out space for our staff, visitors and patients and we need your help to name it.<\/p>\n

Please continue to send your suggestions to\u00a0COH-Communications@health.qld.gov.au<\/a><\/p>\n
