| Caring with empathy | Victoria Dalpatan | Victoria excels in the care she provides to patients in the ward in her role of HCA. Patients have verbally expressed this to our team personally when they march the halls of the ward. Victoria chose to increase her clinical skills when she completed the HCA upskilling programme late 2024. She has also recently completed her competent level HCA PDRP- one of the first HCA’s to complete this at Ormiston Hospital.

| Excellence in what we do | Josephine Cheung-Fook | Josephine is someone who you can go to at any time and she’s always willing to help. She has recently really stepped up to support the Procurement team when a colleague was on medical leave – she managed the extra pressure and workload amazingly, even with lots of urgent issues that needed her time. Josephine is always professional and tries her best to exceed expectations. She is proactive and has excellent attention to detail. Her recent support to streamline processes which enabled the team to complete tasks ahead of schedule is just one example of her going above and beyond. |
