Pros
Caring committed clinicians. Privileged opportunity to work with trauma
Cons
Executive leadership who don’t work with the clinicians and don’t understand the work or care that can be provided. What once was a great organisation is now led by the head of People & Culture - with no health background. Care has gone backwards with the CEO and others working under a belief that their change is making the organisation better. Talk of a Forensic core model (for 2 years) delivering nothing. Removed all Nurse Practitioners, Speech Pathology and nursing positions. Unheard of for a health service. 700+ nurses and the nursing voice silenced. No recognition of nursing skills and that the service cannot run without them. No nursing voice at Executive and a slow removal of nursing leadership positions despite nurses being the core and major discipline.
