Join us to raise awareness and break down the stigma of mental health in healthcare workers on Crazy Socks Day this Friday 2 June.
CrazySocks4Docs is an annual awareness day that we are proud to celebrate at Western Health as ‘Crazy Socks for All’. We love to see all our staff wearing their funky socks on this day and checking in on each other.
Take some snaps of your colourful socks and submit them via Westerly. Include your name, department name and site location in the caption and you’ll go into the draw to win one of 5 movie vouchers valued at $50.
On Friday morning, I will be doing a walk around with CEO Russell Harrison at Sunshine and senior leaders will also be at Footscray giving out cafe vouchers to staff wearing crazy socks. It’s a reminder to take a break, recharge and check in with your colleagues too.
A special Grand Round will be held in the WCHRE Auditorium at Sunshine Hospital on Friday with guest speaker Dr Olivia Ong, a Melbourne-based rehabilitation medicine and pain physician with 15 years of clinical experience who’ll share her remarkable story of beating the odds.
