Clinical specialities
1. Recruitment
Our staff choose to work in their specialised clinical environments (e.g. cardiac and thoracic surgery, cardiology specialities) and we need to ensure that we are able to continue to recruit staff to be part of our organisation especially as we continue to grow.
Colleagues in Human Resources are key to our success in helping ensure we have the processes in place to attract and recruit the highest calibre staff with the right skills, knowledge, attitude and behaviours aligned to our board values.
Action 4.1
We will ensure that we are able to continue to recruit staff to be part of our organisation, and work closely with Human Resources team to help ongoing recruitment.
We have a comprehensive nurse induction program and access to individualised support for new members of our team supported by clear objectives, and processes around preceptorship of new members of the team. This can help our new members of staff integrate with teams as quickly as possible.
2. Resilience of staff
Our staff deal with highly complex situations on a regular basis as part of their everyday work. This may include making changes to the debriefing opportunities available, and as we expand ensuring that there is access to support for staff from Spiritual Care and Occupational Health teams as required.
Action 4.2
We plan to continue to offer Schwartz Rounds™ and scope all other opportunities that we could use to support staff with the emotional aspects of their jobs.
We will ensure nurses are engaged with the organisations Health and Wellbeing Strategy at all levels.
