Star as a character in one of our upcoming posters!

Great photos are coming through in this unique opportunity to see yourself characterised.  A selection of the photos submitted will be characterised and feature as the nurse / midwife graphics in our upcoming posters.   There are still a few days to enter, simply send through a photo of you taken onsite in your favourite scrubs to Nicky Cooper – nicky.cooper2@wh.org.au by Friday 19th May.

EMR Phase 2.1 training continues to be available online via WeLearn.  Bookings are also open for the optional in-person classroom training sessions which will run from 5th June – 30th June.  Any staff member who completes their WeLearn lessons, and feels they need further support, is welcome to attend an in-person classroom training session with a Digital Health trainer. Staff who prefer classroom training can also book into these in-person classroom training sessions. (Staff are asked to check with their manager before booking in.)

After you complete your training, please practice using the EMR and the new workflows utilising the EMR practice environment.  Logins are provided to Super Users when they complete their training, and they are encouraged to share the logins with colleagues.

If you have any EMR Phase 2.1 queries, please do not hesitate to contact:
