Roll up! Roll up! The NSQHS Accreditation Carnival is here!

After a busy six months launching the accreditation readiness plan for the new short notice NSQHS assessment, our focus now moves towards imbedding our readiness plan to a business as usual plan ensuring we are ready for a short notice assessment at any time.

To launch this important milestone, we invite you to participate in the Accreditation Carnival starting tomorrow. The Accreditation Carnival is a fun and non-threatening way to engage with your peers and Western Health leaders by playing games and participating in activities that relate to Accreditation in an unconventional way.

Roll up to get a BINGO card and participate in games to get a stamp. Completing a row of 3 will get you into a draw to win some big prizes for your area. Prizes are massages for a day and morning tea for your team. There will be popcorn giveaways on the first day of the carnival at each site.

The carnival will continue until accreditation occurs, so look out for other opportunities to participate and win prizes for your team as we get closer.

For staff that are unable to attend Carnival days there is a unique WeLearn module that contains games and activities. After completing the Accreditation Carnival module, staff will go in the draw for prizes. Prizes will be drawn every few weeks. You can access the Accreditation Carnival module in WeLearn here: Course: NSQHS Accreditation Carnival Games for Weekend and Night Staff (wh.org.au)

Don’t miss out on participating in some fun and seeing your colleagues getting in the Carnival spirit!
