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

Remember when we all received two additional days of leave for full time and part time employees (pro-rata) in recognition of the contribution we all made to Queensland’s COVID-19 response?

This special leave will expire on Friday 9 September (after two years). If you have these leave hours on your payslip, please arrange with your line manager to take these days off before they expire.

I want all CKW staff to take this leave but about half of you still haven’t done so! It can’t be cashed in, carried over and will simply disappear if you don’t take it before the deadline.

It’s easy! Check with your supervisor and submit a leave request via myHR. When entering the leave details, choose ‘other leave’ and type ‘COVID response leave’ in the please specify text box.

For CKW Managers:

Do you want to develop more management and leadership skills?

Have team members you would like to develop management and leadership skills?

Want high quality training which Queensland Health will pay for?

If yes to any, please skim the flyer available from my office, then register your interest here.

Staff flu vaccinations continue

Flu vaccinations are now available from the Infection Control office on Tuesday and Thursday from 2pm to 3.45pm. Don’t forget your staff ID and Medicare card.

What a compliment!

Here’s a wonderful compliment we received this week about the team at Kilcoy Hospital:

“All of the nurses, doctors and catering staff at Kilcoy Hospital are warm, friendly and welcoming. They made my stay there feel more like a resort than a hospital. In all my 44 years, Kilcoy Hospital is by far the best that I have been to.”

Next Care Health Conference

Tickets are now available for the Next Care Health Conference in November. Visit the website.

Finally,

Stay calm, fight COVID-19 and send a Staff Shout Out to a colleague you would like to acknowledge!

Simon
