Keeping In Touch April 2022
Welcome to a bumper edition of KIT. April has been another month filled with plenty of activity. We celebrated Easter in a variety of ways, Easter reflections were placed on patient meal trays, a lovely display was created by the Pastoral Care Team in the foyer and there were Easter eggs and hot cross buns delivered to all departments in the week leading into Easter.

Our online Patient Admission Portal went live, allowing patients to submit their hospital admission and health information into a digital portal, reducing the need for paperwork to be posted or dropped off to the hospital. There is 7 day a week support for patients and their families who may need asiis with using the portal. Thanks to the team behind the scenes who have been working tirelessly to ensure the implementation is a success and enhances our patients and VMO’s experience with our hospital.
Mother’s Day
The footy tipping competition certainly ramped up this year and has 92 tipsters participating with a number of people jostling each week for the top position. The weekly prizes attest to the fact you don’t have to be at the top of the ladder to be a winner. This week’s lucky winner was Emma Cameron from the Allied Health team. Prizes have included $25 Café Costa vouchers.
Keeping In Touch is a newsletter for you. We would like to invite all caregivers to submit ideas, stories, photos and feedback to share. We know you’re all doing fabulous work - tell us about it!
We welcomed a bumper number of new caregivers this month and were lucky enough to be able to host our hospital orientation face to face. We have featured them in this edition so you can see the diverse number of departments they will be working in. Have a lovely weekend!
