FRONT PAGE IN GOOD HEALTH: Early works

have started at Mount Druitt

Hospital in preparation for the

expansion of the drug health

facility. Adjacent to the New

Beginnings building, the new centre

will reduce the need for clients to

travel out of the area for

treatment. Drug and alcohol

treatment programs have

enormous potential to improve

quality of life for clients and their

families by offering counselling,

support services and in-patient

treatment if required. Our drug

health nurses Jing, Sharon and

Catherine will be keeping a close

eye on progress!

HEAR ME ROAR: If you’re

looking for really Fantastic

Beasts, you’ll find them in our

new acute services building

when maternity, women’s

health, ICU, emergency,

theatres, birthing, NICU and

paediatrics open in 2019. In

the meantime, our fabulous

Maternity Ward team had

some fun this week with a

Harry Potter-themed photo

shoot to celebrate the new

movie opening next week.

Check our Facebook page for

more beastly fun, and look

out, Muggles...

FANTASTIC BEASTS

hospital. If you’re interested in volunteering, or know

HOSPITAL SYMPOSIUM

BRIGHT STARS: Our expansion project isn’t

just delivering new facilities at Blacktown and

Mount Druitt, it’s also driving new

opportunities in research, education, training,

employment, models of care and services.

Next week, our best and brightest clinical minds

are invited to the inaugural Blacktown Hospital

Research and Education Symposium, a half-day

showcase of new directions in diabetes,

cardiology, immunotherapy, radiation therapy,

partnering with patients, health lifestyles and

more.

The event is free and all clinicians are

encouraged to attend, but registration is

essential. Details on the attached flier.

Right, clinical leaders Glenn Maberly, Michael

Edye and Mark Mclean are waiting to welcome

you to the symposium. Below, our cancer team

will also be presenting.

B2Hub construction | Issued 23 September 2016

Noisy works on level 2 for B2Hub

The former Pathology area on level 2 is

being refurbished for the B2Hub - a new

activity-based workspace for the

hospital administration units.

Demolition is underway and will be

followed by refurbishment work until

late 2016.

We appreciate your patience while we

deliver these new facilities for

Blacktown Hospital, and sorry about the

noise.

If you have any issues or concerns,

please contact the Project Office

on 1800 155 102.

NEW WAYS OF WORKING

Blacktown Hospital will be one of

the first hospitals in Australia

with activity-based workspaces.

Every NWOW workplace is

different because the design

reflects what people do and how

they do it, but generally there are

some common elements:

Quiet zones for concentrated

work

Private spaces for

confidential work or

discussion

Collaborative spaces for

shared work

Spaces for informal

interaction and breaks.

The new B2Hub will be a

purpose-built ‘home base’ for the

hospital admin team who are

currently housed in temporary

locations all over Blacktown and

other sites.

The B2Hub will also provide a

real-life model for activity-based

workspaces in the acute services

building.

It will allow clinical staff to

experience the new designs first-

hand and help them transition

smoothly to NWOW workspaces

when the new building is

completed in 2019.
