A Farewell Message from Ben Edwards - ‘Not goodbye, see you later!’

that role on a permanent basis.

This has been a very tough decision for me to make. My six years at Murdoch have been by far the happiest of my career. The hospital is a very special place, and that is because of you.

Dear Murdoch Caregivers,

As you may know, over the past few months, I have been acting in the role of Chief Operating Officer, looking after St John of God Hospitals across the country. Last week, I officially accepted

I will fondly remember the Annual Murdoch Balls and events we have celebrated together, including the 80's parties, Every Caregiver Counts Day, Nursing and Midwives Days, and our epic Christmas Carnivals. Lots of very happy memories.

You are a fantastic team; more like a big family actually.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for what you do for our patients each day. I am immensely proud and grateful to have worked with such a dedicated, competent, and compassionate group of people. Thank you for making my time at Murdoch so special.

So, this is not goodbye, it's see you later. I'll be taking every opportunity to come out, see you all and catch up. In the words of my good friends, Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes - I've Had the Time of my Life.

Take care and see you soon, Ben
