Celebrating our dedicated staff!

Rachel Hogg, Acting Clinical Nurse Specialist on our G73 Covid Ward has been recognised as the Sir Charles Gairdner Employee of the Month of May for the fantastic work she has done to create a successful nursing team which supports the hospital management of COVID patients in collaboration with the SCGH COVID Response Team.

Rachel was nominated by her colleagues for her commitment to her team and patients, exemplary leadership and compassionate and innovative approach to providing patient-centred care with the highest level of safety.

Her colleagues say “Rachel has been the backbone of the G73 Covid ward over the past few months. She is constantly showing kindness and empathy to her nursing workforce and patients. She is always approachable, puts team needs first, and always offers to help when we have a shortage in staff. Rachel holds herself to an extremely high standard and is a wonderful role model for all staff.”

The judges said Rachel is constantly looking for ways to improve the workplace for staff and patients and is flexible in a rapidly changing environment. Rachel is also a fantastic role model for all staff. Her team is always her first priority, she is approachable and supports her team members and patients with kindness, professionalism and empathy. Thank you, Rachel, for your outstanding work.

Rachel was awarded a certificate and voucher via a Teams e-presentation, and enjoyed cupcakes with her team members courtesy of sponsor SmartSalary.

Rachel clearly demonstrates each of the five values of North Metro and is a worthy recipient of the $150 gift voucher from our generous sponsors.
