Values awards

Joseph Mollown for a Respect Award

Nominated by a caregiver on St Emilie Ward

“I wanted to take the opportunity to commend your team on the care I received while I was a patient recently. My Apologies that I cannot name them all, but each one was compassionate and attentive. A special thanks to Joe who helped me through one of the harder days. As a patient who has been an RN and who is comfortable in managing the chronic condition that requires me to self-catheterise, I was feeling quite vulnerable after being hospitalised with a UTI for the first time. I appreciated the way that Joe allowed me to do everything I could independently. Although this sounds like a small thing, it was empowering and just what I needed. When I became unexpectedly unwell Joe`s response was quick and caring. I know something of the other demands he would have been under, but I felt that he made my wellbeing a priority, and I was grateful.”
