More news from Caboolture and Kilcoy Hospitals and Woodford Corrections Health Service.

Weekend dental trial starts

Metro North Oral Health Services has started a Rapid Access Pathway who patients who present at the emergency department with dental issues.

With the weekend dental clinics commencing mid-September, this team will play an important role in triaging urgent dental cases from the emergency department at Caboolture and Redcliffe hospitals.

Tis the season to be helping others

This Christmas the CKW Staff Council will be supporting the St. Vinnie’s Christmas Appeal.

So, what does that mean? Every work unit within CKW will be invited to voluntarily participate by providing non-perishable food items and gifts for a family in need in our region.

Families will be identified by our local St. Vinnie’s contacts. For example, Kilcoy and Woodford have 10 identified families – what a difference we could make to these and other families!

Further details will be provided later in the year but as a first step it would be great if work units that want to participate discuss it and decide on a local coordinator in preparation (no need to advise this back yet).
