CHRISTMAS IN MARCH
STICKING TO THEIR PLAN
KIDS IN A CANDY STORE: Getting a new resus trolley
is almost as good as Christmas! Remember, if you’re
expecting goods for the new building, make sure
they’ve been properly received in the system. Please
don’t remove equipment from storage or loading areas.
The Project team will have it delivered to you when it’s
officially received and then you can have your own
‘opening ceremony’!
UNDER PRESSURE: Firefighter Rita testing the fire hoses. Either
that or those plants are getting a serious watering.
OLD COUNTRY: Bogusia and Ken channelling their inner
Babushkas with the latest headgear. Don’t give up your hard
hats.
PUTTING OUT FIRES?
HATS OFF
PLANNING AHEAD: Planning continued this week for the new
BMDH Admin activity based workspace. Local staff have been
working with specialist designers to map out the type of work
they do so workspaces can be matched to work types. The new
zone will be a primarily digital environment but you can’t beat
post-it notes when it comes to creative planning! Above, David,
Elizabeth and Steve have their say.

DIGITAL EVOLUTION
NORTHERN LIGHTS
GRADUATION DAY
CHECKING IT OUT: The Healthscope team from the
new Northern Beaches Hospital dropped in this week.
Our NBH colleagues were seriously impressed with the
quality of the fittings on the ward, the nurses station
design and the sense of space. We’re looking forward
to a reciprocal visit to see the new NBH in 2018.
THESE ARE NOT THE DROIDS YOU’RE LOOKING
FOR: Unless of course you’re checking in to an
outpatient clinic at Blacktown Hospital.
These curvy kiosks will provide self-serve digital
check-in with just a swipe of a Medicare card. You
can then stroll off to a café or courtyard and wait for
an SMS to tell you it’s time for your appointment.
Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, which piloted
the kiosks last year for their clinic appointments,
report that it’s significantly improved the patient
experience in ambulatory care settings and that
patients love the simple technology and the
convenience.
