Following four years as Chair of Redcliffe Hospital’s clinical council, Dr Alan Yan takes the lead for Metro North.<\/h1>\n
\"\"

Dr Alan Yan is the new Chair of Metro North’s Clinical Council<\/p><\/div>\n

Dr Alan Yan is a familiar face at Redcliffe Hospital. He\u2019s been a valuable part of the hospital community since 2014 and currently holds the critical role of Director of Emergency.<\/h4>\n

He\u2019s also the new face of Metro North Health\u2019s Clinical Council.<\/p>\n

As the first point of contact with many patients, Alan recognises the importance of emergency medicine in the overall success of the hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe regularly treat patients at the worst moments in their lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important we have the systems, processes and workforce in place to provide quality care to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEmergency medicine is an ever-evolving area, and we work to keep up to date with best practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to his role in emergency, Alan has been Chair of the Redcliffe Hospital Clinical Council for four years before being appointed the Chair of Metro North\u2019s Clinical Council.<\/p>\n

\u201cEssentially, the Clinical Council is a voice for all staff,\u201d Alan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe meet regularly with hospital and Metro North executives and board members to discuss matters relating to workforce, culture, training and more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alan recognises the importance of staff having a say in what happens at the hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrontline staff know better than anyone what\u2019s working well in caring for patients and areas where there are challenges,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe clinical council seeks input from staff and presents it to senior leaders to consider as part of planning, delivering and improving hospital services.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his time as a member of the Clinical Council, Alan has seen the scope increase.<\/p>\n

\u201cOriginally a voice for medical staff, the group has expanded over the years to represent all staff at Redcliffe Hospital,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegardless of role, everyone plays an important part in our hospital community, and deserve to have their say.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m honoured to have been asked to take up the role of Chair in the Metro North Clinical Council – I\u2019m looking forward to continuing to work with council members to make Metro North an even better place for our staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Away from work, Alan has a young family with primary school age children. He\u2019s also a keen runner and has worked to grow the annual Redcliffe Hospital fun run, in which he won the inaugural event.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
