We have much to celebrate and be thankful for. In terms of outstanding we universally acknowledge the truly wonderful work of our Woman’s Health team who have adjusted so admirably to the significant increase in Obstetric volume following the closure of the Epworth program at the end of March
This has been an enormous challenge for our service undertaking such rapid growth in the middle of a refurbishment, our team’s response has been incredibly professional We have also been very fortunate to welcome many new midwifes to our team which helps us build on our capability and our reputation for great care. Our hospital is extremely committed to a vibrant, safe and highly successful maternity program for years to come.
Our nurses right across our service have helped build an enviable reputation of care and in recent months we’ve also implemented a number of other changes designed to enhance our service This has included changes to the operating hours of our ED program, the implementation of public in private contract in Orthopaedics, the introduction on new robotic technology in theatre and in the week ahead the transition of services locations for our 2N and 2E teams to facilitate growth
