19.01.2022 BUILD A BLANKET’ PROJECT PROMOTES GOOD MENTAL HEALTH Knitting may be a seemingly quiet hobby, but at the Berkeley Vale Clinic this month, its helping more patients become socially engaged and interactive. ... As part of Mental Health Month, recognised each October, the Berkeley Vale Clinic is running a Build a Blanket Project’ where participants knit squares for a blanket which will be donated to Central Coast Shelter. Patient Flow Manager Prue Eakin said inpatients and outpatients of the Berkeley Vale Clinic were getting a lot out of the knitting project. Knitting is a skill that can be relaxing, even meditative for some and in the clinic we have witnessed terrific engagement of patients who have contributed their knitted squares during Mental Health Month, Ms Eakin said. Our participants have ranged from expert knitters to novices - and the mentoring, social engagement and altruism of the project is a great step towards good mental health. The ‘Close Knit’ group is led by Berkeley Vale’s vibrant occupational therapy team and mental health nurses. The Clinic offers a holistic range of services that stem from the Ramsay philosophy of ‘people caring for people’ including conventional approaches and less traditional therapies like yoga, art and tai chi. A craft like knitting requires self-regulation, problem solving and distress tolerance. It requires calibrated motor movements of the hands, can be modified in complexity and can contribute to structure and daily routine, Ms Eakin said. We’ve had wonderful feedback from patients that this has really spiked their interest in knitting. The flow on effect of people helping each other, feeling like they’ve achieved something and are supported, and to delve into that creative space and recruit fine motor skills, it really is so beneficial. The Berkeley Vale Clinic helps hundreds of patients each year through its outpatient and inpatient programs. It offers 20 mental health and 22 rehabilitation inpatient beds

16.01.2022 World Alzheimer’s Day 21st September The positive impact of World Alzheimer’s Day continues to increase every year; however, the stigmatisation and lack of information surrounding Alzheimer's remains a global problem.

15.01.2022 Ramsay staff are assisting our public sector colleagues with the COVID-19 response in NSW. Two Ramsay nurses, Tamara Adams and Jack Doyle-Reilly are currently at a makeshift COVID-19 ward in Wilcannia, almost 1000km from the Sydney CBD. They’re caring for patients from Indigenous communities. I volunteered because I wanted to help communities in need during this important time in history. I spent my first fortnight at Broken Hill helping out in the hospital and vaccination c...linic and was then asked to deploy to Wilcannia to work with the Indigenous community. A caravan park has been established to act as an isolation ward for close contacts who can’t go back to their community, so we monitor and look after those people. We’ve also been helping out at the swabbing clinic and a vaccination hub, plus there’s community visits to monitor and check on patients who have COVID, helping them with whatever they need. A real highlight for me has been working alongside nurses from the AUSMAT team who are regularly deployed to disaster situations, they have amazing and inspiring patient care stories to tell. Base camp for us is a tent city but there’s hot water for showers and three good meals a day so all in all it’s been a great adventure that I’d highly recommend and it’s wonderful to feel like I have done something to help.

04.01.2022 OLYMPIC STAR INSPIRES RAMSAY STAFF ON R U OK? DAY Olympic swimming champion Brooke Hanson OAM has praised the amazing work of Ramsay Health Care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, as part of an inspiring webinar to mark R U OK? Day. The national day of action encourages Australians to ask friends, family and colleagues R U OK? if someone in their world is struggling with life’s ups and downs.... Ms Hanson told the hundreds of Ramsay staff who joined the webinar, it was important people take time out for themselves and celebrate their small achievements, not only the big ones. You have all gone above and beyond during this COVID-19 pandemic and you’ve done so much for our country, Ms Hanson said. You won’t always get credit but know that you are loved and supported by so many Australians and we wouldn’t have gotten through this without you. So many times you’ve done fantastic things at work but you may not take time out with colleagues to pat yourselves on the back and say well done. You really need to reach out to each other and celebrate - it can just be as simple as saying ‘hey, well done’. Ms Hanson, an Olympic gold and silver medallist, world champion and former world record holder, delivered an inspirational hour-long presentation, where she spoke of the immense challenges she has faced - not only in pursuing her sporting dream but also in her private life, with the loss of her second child Jack at just nine months old. There have been times where I haven’t been ok, the 42 year old said. I held my son Jack for his last breath and it showed me how precious and short life can be. I’d give all my Olympic achievements, all those medals, away if I could have just one more cuddle with my little man. We had to say goodbye to him and that was the saddest day of my life, Ms Hanson said. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well. We’re all going to struggle with mental health at some point and we all have to conquer and support each other. It’s why R U OK? Day is so important. Ms Hanson spoke of the importance of self-love and self-care - which included a healthy diet, exercise and getting plenty of sleep. It’s one of those magical things, exercise, healthy living and eating can make a big difference, she said. The link to Ms Hanson’s powerful webinar will be available to the Ramsay workforce on the intranet to watch at a time convenient for them. She has also written a book, When Silver is Gold, with all profits from the sale of each copy donated to Life’s Little Treasures Foundation in memory of her son Jack.
