We are excited to announce that clinical operations are expected to commence in the Sunshine Hospital Emergency Department (SHED) Behavioural Assessment Unit (or BAU) on Wednesday 22nd June, and then in the Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drugs Hub during August.
A new online course has been launched to support staff to work safely and effectively in these new clinical spaces.
We welcome and encourage all our staff at Western Health to engage with the relevant modules of this course for an overview of what is new and changing, including some ways we are keeping safe.
The course, “SHED Expansion Stage 4 – MHAOD” is freely available for any Western Health staff to enroll through WeLearn. Modules 1 and 5 are suitable for all staff.
To self-enrol, search “Stage 4” or “MHAOD” in the We Learn Course Catalogue, and select “Enrol”.
Physical Orientation is now underway for all staff who work and volunteer in Sunshine Hospital’s Emergency Department, ahead of the commencement of clinical operations in the Behavioural Assessment Unit later this month. Further information is available via the ED microsite, UnitED.
This is an important milestone for the Sunshine Hospital Emergency Department expansion project as we work to operationalise all points of care within the department.
Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to Best Care in this exciting period of transition for the Sunshine Hospital Emergency Department.
Regards,
Patriece Shelly
Divisional Director, Emergency Medicine and Access
