Charlie’s Covid Ward team receives deserved praise

We all like positive feedback, and that goes for us here in the North Metropolitan Health Service: when a patient goes out of their way to leave a compliment, it can make your day and all your hard work seem worthwhile! You may have seen one such patient, Warren Yorkshire, on Channel 9 last night.

Warren was one of SCGH’s first dedicated Covid Ward patients, looked after by an expert team managed by Consultant in Respiratory and Sleep Medicine Professor John Blakey, and Acting Clinical Nurse Specialist, Tammi.

After discharge, Warren approached Dr Blakey, asking to share his recovery publicly as he was so thankful for the treatment he received on the ward. A fully-vaccinated, proud Noongar man, Warren wanted to thank the Charlie’s team, and to share the message with both his community and farther afield: get checked up if you feel unwell, get vaccinated.
