24.01.2022 Today the Riverland Mallee Coorong Local Health Network is launching two important strategies: The Consumer and Community Engagement Strategy The Clinician an...d Workforce Engagement Strategy. The Consumer and Community Engagement Strategy will guide, integrate, strengthen and promote meaningful engagement with our consumers, carers and communities. The Clinician and Workforce Engagement Strategy aims to promote consultation, collaboration and genuine engagement with health, and other, professionals working within RMCLHN. Our Governing Board is required to develop and publish these strategies under Section 33A of the Health Care (Governance) Amendment Act 2018. Both strategies will sit alongside RMLCHNs Strategic Plan which is currently being developed. Stay tuned for more on both strategies later today Pictured: RMCLHN Governing Board members (L-R) Melanie Ottaway, Elaine Ashworth, Dr Peter Joyner and Fred Toogood, with RMCLHN CEO Wayne Champion (front).

24.01.2022 Bowel cancer is the second most common cancer affecting people in Australia. When detected early, the chance of a full recovery from bowel cancer is high. Bowe...l cancer can develop with a few, if any, early warning symptoms so its important to participate in regular screening from age 50 onwards. You can do the test provided by the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program yourself at home in privacy. For more info, including how to do the test at home, visit: http://bit.ly/2WjkSIB

20.01.2022 It’s important all South Australians and anyone visiting SA keep getting tested for COVID-19 if they have any symptoms, no matter how mild. A test does not clea...r you of COVID-19 forever. If you develop new symptoms, you need to get tested, even if you have been negative in the past. High levels of testing has been a vital part of our continued success in the fight against COVID-19 in SA, allowing us to enjoy fewer restrictions and keeping South Australians safe. If you have any of these symptoms, no matter how mild, please get tested for COVID-19: fever or chills cough sore throat runny nose shortness of breath loss of taste and smell If you have symptoms but you’re not sure if it’s hayfever or allergies speak to your GP.
