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

Many of you are working really hard, we are in a tough season. Thanks for all that you are doing to provide healthcare for our community.

After night, the sunrise will come. After winter, spring will arrive. We will get through this season.

Right now we are recruiting 50 new staff to help us. In 7 ½ weeks, we will have 12 more bed spaces.

In a year’s time, over 300 more staff will be helping us and we will be in a shiny new building with much more space.

This morning I went for a walk in the cold … then the sun came up. Our current season feels cold, it’s just before sunrise … hold on and look for sunlight, it is coming.

You are making a difference

“My husband has dementia, the special team went beyond to be caring, walking with him daily, playing games and talking normally with him. Sooooo Impressed!”

“The surgical nurse made me feel relaxed and helped me calm down after a panic attack.”

“The nurses were kind, attentive and informative.”

“The medics were awesome.”

The lady at the front is the best.”

“The audiologist was great with my four year old.”

“Thank-you CPAS … I was really scared, you reassured me.”

“The midwife supported me always.”

Thanks for what you are doing, making a difference in people’s lives.

Simon.
