Celebrating our dedicated staff!

Congratulations to SCGH Employee of the Month, Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) Staff Development Nurse, Ashlee Atkinson who has been recognised as SCGH Employee of the Month.

Ashlee provides a reassuring face to patients who are scared or in pain as they wake up from surgery and has been recognised for the compassionate care and support she provides to patients, visitors, and staff in her role.

In support of her PACU colleagues transitioning into providing intensive care for COVID patients, Ashlee stepped up to support staff by preparing, organising, and obtaining resources and educational material to ensure the critical care skills of PACU nurses were maintained.

Ashlee was nominated by her Manager Clinical Nurse Specialist Elizabeth Fereday for going go above and beyond for patients and staff every day.

“Ashlee is indispensable in this unit and is a role model for staff and students in our team” Elizabeth said. “She provides compassionate nursing care with professional knowledge and clinical skill.”
