Celebrating our dedicated staff!

Christine Atkinson, Clinical Midwife & Acting Area Manager has been recognised as the WNHS Employee of the Month for June 2022.

Christine was nominated twice by her colleagues for her amazing work ethic in going above and beyond to support her team with additional duties across both OPH and KEMH when staff were furloughed due to COVID-19.

Christine voluntarily opted to work overtime to cover the KEMH A/Area Manager role, where in a short time she was able to implement consistent rostering principle guidelines and free up clinical staff to do clinical work during the COVID shortfall.

Christine's nominator said she is a team-player and always the first to offer to assist staff where required, ensuring birthing women receive the care they need when they need it. The judges said Christine is committed to the provision of safe and quality health care through supporting her team members to ensure duties are always fulfilled.

Christine will be awarded a certificate and voucher, and enjoy cupcakes with her team members courtesy of sponsor P&N Bank.

Christine clearly demonstrates each of the five values of North Metro and is a worthy recipient of the $150 gift voucher from our generous sponsors.

A special thanks to our generous sponsors Paywise (external site), SmartSalary (external site), P&N Bank (external site) and Hesta (external site).

Congratulations Christine, your team obviously think very highly of you!
