19.01.2022 Encourage Action Ask: "What have you done in the past to manage similar situations?" Ask: "How would you like me to support you?"... Ask: "What's something you can do for yourself right now? Something that's enjoyable or relaxing?" You could say: "When I was going through a difficult time, I tried this... You might find it useful too." If they've been feeling really down for more than 2 weeks, encourage them to see a health professional. You could say, "It might be useful to link in with someone who can support you. I'm happy to assist you to find the right person to talk to." Be positive about the role of professionals in getting through tough times.

Patient satisfaction scores between 70 and 100 are considered world-class. Our latest quarterly score was 84!!... Our score was significantly higher than that of other Australian industries, according to Cemplicity (a world leader in patient reporting software).

We are always developing innovative ways to use feedback to improve their services. Thanks to our staff and health care partners for your dedication to delivering excellent patient care.

17.01.2022 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. It is our role as a community to raise awareness and do the best we can to support people with Alzheimer’s/ dementia live active and rich lives. A little support makes a lot of difference

15.01.2022 Listen with an open mind If you are concerned about someone, trust your gut and ask, Are you OK?. Listen with an open mind to what they have to say and ask them what you can do to help. In the current circumstances, there might be limits on what you can do but you can definitely be a listening ear and a (virtual) shoulder to lean on. Take what they say seriously and don't interrupt or rush the conversation.... Don't judge their experiences or reactions but acknowledge that things seem tough for them. If they need time to think, sit patiently with the silence. Encourage them to explain: "How are you feeling about that?" or "How long have you felt that way?" Show that you've listened by repeating back what you've heard (in your own words) and ask if you have understood them properly. https://rmsyhc.com/35evrQl

14.01.2022 ASK - Because a conversation could change a life Got a feeling that someone you know or care about it isn't behaving as they normally would? Perhaps they seem out of sorts? More agitated or withdrawn? Or they're just not themselves. Trust that gut instinct and act on it. By starting a conversation and commenting on the changes you've noticed, you could help that family member, friend or workmate open up. If they say they are not OK, you can follow our conversation steps to sh...ow them they're supported and help them find strategies to better manage the load. If they are OK, that person will know you're someone who cares enough to ask. https://youtu.be/ALcTGgr8z3k

Communication is a basic human right and Speech Pathology Week seeks to make Australians aware of this.... Speech pathologists work to ensure everyone can communicate with confidence. It is important that the broader community understands that: 1.2 million Australians live with communication disability Communication disability is largely invisible. Unseen and out-of-sight.

09.01.2022 Sleep Awareness Week 2020 Everyone's experienced the fatigue, restlessness and lack of focus that often follow a poor night's sleep. A good nights sleep is vital for good health as it allows our bodies to repair themselves and our brains to consolidate our memories and process information. Top Tip - Wind down before you go to bed... The act of relaxing and ‘winding down’ before going to sleep is an important step in the process of going to bed. Not only can certain actions be incorporated into your routine to tell your body its time to sleep, such as stretching or gentle yoga routines, but the activities themselves can help you to chill out. Organising your thoughts and putting them down on a to-do list or weekly planner can help you clear your mind of worries or concerns, or even just setting an alarm on your phone with a label to remind you to do something urgent. Reading a book, listing to calming music or a podcast can also lull you to sleep by taking your mind off of things and get your brain going as you fall into a deep sleep. It could even stop you worrying about whether you’re going to get to sleep! #ramsayhealth #sleepbetter #sleepinCOVID19 #sleepawarenessweek #sleepandmentalhealth #SAW2020 #SleepAwarenessWeek

09.01.2022 Thank you for your courage, your patience and dedication to your job. We see you, and we thank you.

06.01.2022 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.

03.01.2022 HOW TO AVOID BACK PAIN WHILE WORKING FROM HOME As we continue to adjust to new and flexible working environments, what is the best way to avoid back pain and injury? Posture Plus ... Poor posture puts stress on your back and can cause upper and middle back pain. - Try to stand or sit tall, keeping your back as straight as possible and balance your weight evenly on both feet. - Don't slump or slouch and keep your shoulders rolled back. - If you spend a lot of time at a computer, at home and at work, make sure the screen is at eye level, never below and not too far away so that you have to reach to it. Be Active No matter your exercise levels, it's generally good advice to stay as active as possible to promote back health and reduce the risk of developing problems. - If you're sat at a desk all day, get up and walk around or just shift your sitting posture as often as possible. - Take the stairs where possible. - Gardening, cleaning, and other household activities can help to increase your exercise levels while still being productive De-Stress Stress can make your pain feel worse. Learning ways to reduce your stress may result in reduced pain. You could try deep breathing and relaxation exercises or meditation.

02.01.2022 CHECK-IN The coronavirus pandemic comes as many Australians are still feeling the impact of recent bushfires, floods and drought. It’s very normal to not feel OK in challenging times such as these. Watching and listening to media and social media coverage and commentary can be confronting and confusing. However, at a time when we’re being asked to physically distance ourselves from one another, we can make use of freed up diary time and our digital devices to stay connected.... Pop a reminder in your diary to call them in a couple of weeks. If they're really struggling, follow up with them sooner. You could say: "I've been thinking of you and wanted to know how you've been going since we last chatted." Ask if they've found a better way to manage the situation. If they haven't done anything, don't judge them. They might just need someone to listen to them for the moment. Stay in touch and be there for them. Genuine care and concern can make a real difference.
