04.01.2022 A message from our new CEO - Janet Phillips I am thrilled to be joining the Peninsula Home Hospice team, who I know are highly respected and part of a service that is renowned for its strong community engagement.... A little about me I have over 35 years experience in the health sector in senior management roles and I have always been drawn to community palliative care. My first experience in palliative care was working as a community clinical nurse consultant for 10 years. This has given me a true understanding of what happens at the coalface that has enabled me to authentically lead and support staff as I have moved into more senior roles including manager of a community palliative care service at Melbourne City Mission. I am a passionate advocate for palliative care service delivery that ensures quality and accessible services to people with a life limiting illness. I will bring my keen interest in research and collaborating on innovative projects to ensure Peninsula Home Hospice continues to operate as an outstanding service and recognised as a leader across the palliative care and health sectors. I would like to acknowledge the strong leadership of Rachel Bovenizer as CEO of Peninsula Home Hospice. Rachel has achieved so much and has enabled the service to flourish by consistently providing the highest quality of care over many years. This will be a sea change for my family and myself with plans in place to relocate to the Mornington area in 2021. I look forward to meeting you all. #welcome #homehospice #palliativecare #livingwell #notforprofit

03.01.2022 Announcement regarding COVID-19 and PHH service provision November 5 2020. As COVID-19 restrictions in Victoria start to ease, we would like to once again update you on how Peninsula Home Hospice (PHH) is continuing to provide support to clients and carers. It is so pleasing to see low numbers of cases in this past week and we hope that continues. ... The PHH management team continue our weekly meetings to ensure that we are constantly monitoring any changes in restrictions and taking action in relation to the needs of our clients, carers, staff and volunteers. Our current approach is as follows: PHH has a COVID-Safe plan in place and we will continue to maintain current levels of vigilance with regard to risks associated with COVID-19 to ensure the ongoing safety of staff, volunteers and clients. Visits and support to people in their own homes continue with staff and volunteers screening themselves and clients for any signs, symptoms or risks associated with COVID-19. Staff and volunteers wear masks, safety glasses and follow strict hygiene practices upon entering and leaving each person’s home. This minimises risks associated with COVID-19 transmission and is done regardless of the presence of symptoms. Where necessary or requested by clients, PHH clinical staff can provide support and advice through telehealth and phone consultations, however visits to the client are now our primary mode of contact. PHH staff will use full PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) if there is an identified COVID-19 risk and we continue to have a PPE ‘buddy/spotter’ system in place to support staff in their use of PPE if it is required. The full PHH care team is available to clients and carers, consisting of nursing, consultant palliative care physician, counselling, case management, allied health and client care volunteers. We are very aware that as people start to move about in the community, it’s important to maintain strict safety and hygiene practices so that we minimise any likelihood of COVID-19 outbreaks. We urge people in the community to please maintain the basic practices of hand hygiene, mask wearing, physical distancing and to get tested if you have any symptoms at all. We ask that you do this while also reconnecting to important people and activities in your lives. PHH is thankful for the support of our community during this challenging year. We hope that you all stay safe and well.
