Dr Simon Bugden, Acting Executive Director, Caboolture, Kilcoy & Woodford Clinical Directorate

We are growing bigger and expanding. Who is moving to a new place soon?

• Caboolture Hospital Allied Health physiotherapy, Allied Health Paediatric Outpatient Services and Inpatient Liaison Services (AHOPSILs) and geriatric oncology clinical teams recently moved and are starting to deliver patient services off-site at the Caboolture Super Clinic on George Street.
• A new Emergency Department (ED) Fast-Track will open in eight weeks, 12 additional new spaces. The space they move from will also provide eight more ED acute cubicles.
• A new satellite pharmacy will open soon, near the concierge area (from the main carpark).
• We are looking for spaces to convert into more ward beds. If you know of a space in the hospital which might be able to be renovated into a patient care space, please send your idea to Marks@health.qld.gov.au

Your COVID-19 response ‘Health Heroes’ leave will expire on Friday 9 September. It can’t be cashed in, carried over and will simply disappear if you don’t take it before the deadline. If you have these leave hours on your payslip, please arrange with your line manager to take these days off before they expire.

Let people see how kind you are.

Care for people and help them get better.

Simon.
