You may not have noticed it, but there was a big change at Redcliffe Hospital over the weekend. The leadership, management, and governance of Patient Support Services, Medical Imaging, Security, and Food Services have all now shifted from Metro North to Redcliffe Hospital.<\/h4>\n

These are some of the hospital’s most essential services. Every day they care for patients, protect us, and keep patient flow moving. While they’ve always worked here at the hospital, before this change, they were managed at the Metro North level. Now, everything from day-to-day operational and clinical decisions to budgetary and long-term strategic plans will be made here at Redcliffe.<\/p>\n

As a result of this change, the Medical Imaging department is now part of Redcliffe Hospital’s Allied Health team. Security and Patient Support Services will be managed by Facility Services, and Food Services will be shared between Allied Health and Facility Services.<\/p>\n

It’s also a positive change for the 300 staff who are part of these services. They’re now 100% part of our\u00a0#IamRedcliffe\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>hospital community.<\/p>\n

What won’t change though is the essential work these services and staff do each day, or our respect for them.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the change and to show our appreciation, this morning we held a special welcome BBQ in the Staff Courtyard for these teams. Thank you to everyone who came along to share in the celebration.\u00a0We say thankyou to show our appreciation #IamRedcliffe.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For two years or more now, we’ve all played important roles in how our hospital and health service has responded to COVID-19. As we move into this new era of healthcare, where COVID will be a constant, we all need to play a part in designing how we will deliver that care. The best way to do that is by taking a few minutes to participate in the\u00a0COVID-19 staff debrief survey<\/a>.<\/h4>\n

The staff debrief survey should only take four or five minutes to complete. By taking the survey, you’ll share your experience of what worked well and what we can do better in the future. It’s an HHS-wide survey, and I’d like as many Redcliffe Hospital staff and clinicians as possible to participate. The feedback provided through this survey and the debrief process will inform the development of Metro North’s\u00a0Transition to Recovery Plan<\/em>. If you can, please take the survey now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Staff flu vaccination campaign<\/h2>\n

Redcliffe Hospital staff can receive their free flu vaccination at the hospital from next Wednesday. There will be three different ways to receive your free flu vaccination at the hospital this year.<\/p>\n
