Congratulations to the team behind our Nurse Practitioner-led acute myeloid leukaemia outpatient model of care!

Their work has been recognised as a finalist in the Patient Safety First Award at the 2026 NSW Health Awards.

The program enables patients with acute myeloid leukaemia to receive much of their care as outpatients rather than spending extended periods in hospital, meaning more time at home with family and in the community.

It’s another wonderful recognition for the team, with the project also a finalist in the Patient Safety and Experience Award at our Caring for the Coast Awards.

When an emergency happens, teamwork matters.

That’s why our teams recently partnered with NSW Ambulance, NSW Rural Fire Service, Fire and Rescue NSW, VRA Rescue NSW, Delta Electricity and the University of Newcastle for a large-scale emergency simulation at Vales Point Power Station.

The exercise simulated an explosion with multiple casualties, giving teams the chance to practise how they would work together to respond to a major incident.

Our teams recreated an emergency department as part of the simulation, so participants could practise coordinating patient care from the incident scene right through to hospital.

It was a valuable chance to learn together, build stronger connections and better understand how to best work together in a real emergency.

A huge thank you to our staff and partner organisations for making the exercise possible and helping us all be better prepared to keep our community safe.

Our Public Health Team is offering free Japanese encephalitis vaccinations for community members planning to travel to regional areas and spend time outdoors.

Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a rare but serious illness spread by infected mosquitoes. While many people experience mild illness, it can cause severe neurological illness with headache, convulsions and reduced consciousness and in rare cases can be fatal. There is no specific cure, making prevention essential.

Drop-in clinic times (no appointment needed):
▪ Gosford Hospital – Tuesday 20 October from 12:30pm-3:30pm at Outpatients (J4)
▪ Woy Woy Hospital – Thursday 22 October from 12pm-2:30pm at Woy Woy Community Health Centre
