Clinical Nurse Director – Emergency Department
"Bev is kind, welcoming and supportive of staff. Since joining the team a year ago she has been the shining light of the emergency department. Bev’s door is always open for a debrief or a chat, she values every staff member and makes sure to tell them so."
Enrolled Nurse Ward 33 North
"Catherine brings a cheerful vibe to the workplace, never failing to make everyone smile with her positive energy. Her kindness, patience and understanding is contagious, reminding us to step back and take a breath when things seem impossible. We are truly grateful for her patience, support and understanding."
Alicia Rutherford, Marleen Williams and Barry King
"They volunteered at the beginning of the latest lockdown (August) to screen patients coming to appointments, often outside and in all kinds of weather. No matter the weather, they’re out there with smiles on their faces and are professional, friendly and helpful - living our values."
