It’s been a while since we last spoke to you. We recognise how busy things have been and that many of us have been redeployed to different areas in response to the pandemic.

Firstly, we’d like to thank everyone for your hard work and good humour during these times. Last week we were handing out RUOK? Pens and it was an absolute pleasure to see so many happy faces and positive responses to our greetings. Thank you so much!

Feedback

We are here to listen to you and escalate appropriately. We appreciate all feedback and will always respond. Please email us, we are always open to new ideas: RBWH-CC-Secretariat@health.qld.gov.au

Redeployment

Like many staff across the hospital, a few of our members have been redeployed to different areas. You might see them around, helping with fit testing or at the Fever Clinic. If you see one of our friendly faces around, be sure to ask us about the Council!

TEN

The Black Dog Institute have published “The Essential Network for Health Professionals”, designed to help healthcare workers find resources and support to manage burnout and maintain good mental health. You can find out more here: TEN – The Essential Network for Health Professionals – Black Dog Institute

There are several vacancies in both the Staff Council and the Shadow Council. We would encourage you to apply to RBWH-CC-Secretariat@health.qld.gov.au or call the 3647 0720 for additional information. We acknowledge that there are many facilities that do not sit on campus, and we are keen to get representation from you.

Finally, we wanted to leave you with our favourite quote for the month:

“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”– Louisa May AlcottAs ever, look after yourselves and your colleagues.

Warm regards and thanks, you are an amazing team,

Liz Bennett and Paul Kubler
