From little

things, big

things grow We’re literally growing at Blacktown

Hospital this month as landscapers bed

down the thousands of plants, grasses,

tress and shrubs for the new hospital

gardens.

Staff and visitors have been asking us

what’s happening at the main entry, so

here’s an update. The garden beds at

the front will frame the new vehicle

drop-off. The centre trees are Chinese

pistachios and the ones on the outside

are ornamental pears, both chosen for

their shape and colour.

For the gardeners out there, the lower

plantings are tussock grasses, creeping

boobialla (Myoporem), philodendron

Xanadu, rapheolepis Oriental Pearls,

liriope Little John, and dichondra, a

hardy groundcover.

On the upper levels, magnolia

grandiflora and ornamental pears will

provide respite on the terraces.

Effektiv landscaping site manager

Brendan said the team is proud to be

“adding the finishing touches which

bring the hospital to life”.

Thanks to Brendan, David, Sunia, Will

and Gulaun from Effektiv - especially

Gulaun who was having his first day on

the job! Welcome to the team! Matthew, Robyn and David on the level 6 Birthing and Newborn Care courtyard with a new ornamental pear tree

Emergency Dept team in their paper independence session


That’s where we

come in Our Blacktown cancer centre (completed in stage 1) recently

featured in a new information video for the non-profit

campaign Targeting Cancer. Called That’s Where We Come

In, the video encourages patients and health care

professionals to become more informed about radiation

therapy.

One in two cancer patients would benefit from radiation

therapy, yet due to lack of awareness or access, many

patients miss out. Targeting Cancer is breaking down

common misconceptions that radiation therapy is a

dangerous and difficult treatment, whereas it’s an extremely

sophisticated and safe process.

For more information, see the video on YouTube at https://

On

paper Our Acute Services Building

teams are continuing their

activity based working

transition program with

paper independence and

etiquette sessions.

Decluttering is also a big part

of the move to the new

building and while we’re not

going the full Marie Kondo,

it’s a great opportunity for

everyone to re-evaluate

clutter in their workspaces.
