THESE PICTURES ARE FROM AN EMERGENCY SIMULATION EXCERCISE

This week's multi-agency trauma exercise at South East Regional Hospital, Bega provided a hands-on educational opportunity for medical and nursing students.

The scenario, which played out in the grounds of the hospital, was centered around a car going through a wall at the Bega Cheese factory at North Bega. A gas leak and explosion followed, with people trapped.

The way our first responders, Bega Cheese, students from The Australian National University Medical School, and staff from South East Regional Hospital worked together was impressive and reassuring for our community.

This was the sixth year of the emergency simulation, coordinator and SERH anaesthetist, Dr Nathan Oates, says simulated training in a safe environment is important for students as the realism they experience provides valuable lessons.

“Simulation like this provides learners with a library of experience to draw upon so that when specific situations are encountered during real-time patient care, those times are not the first experience the learner has regarding that same situation,” Dr Oates says.

Thank you to everyone who made this a success for our community, especially those who were made up with some very realistic trauma injuries.

For families supporting a loved one in hospital, being close can make an enormous difference. That simple idea is behind a community-led effort to establish dedicated carers accommodation at the new Eurobodalla Regional Hospital, Moruya.

Carers Accommodation Eurobodalla Regional Hospital Inc - CAERH is a group of locals working tirelessly to raise the funds needed to build an initial six motel-style units on the hospital grounds, giving carers, family members and loved ones a place to stay close to patients receiving treatment.

Through years of grassroots fundraising, CAERH has already raised more than $400,000, with the support of organisations like Moruya Jockey Club, Moruya Rotary, Rotary Batemans Bay, Night Owl Quilters Inc., CWA Moruya - and the community more broadly.

Thank you to all involved!

🎉 What a wonderful celebration of 120 years of Crookwell Health Service!

A heartfelt thank you to the Crookwell community, Hospital Auxiliary, staff, volunteers, and local community groups who helped make this milestone such a memorable occasion.

The day was a testament to the pride, support and commitment that have shaped healthcare in Crookwell across generations.

Adding to the significance of the celebration, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags are now flying at the hospital for the first time, recognising and celebrating the enduring connection of First Nations peoples to community, culture and Country.
