Introducing the John Hunter Health and Innovation Precinct transition team
The John Hunter Health and Innovation Precinct (JHHIP) team recently welcomed several new project officers to the team to help prepare staff and services for the transition.
Meg Boland, Georgie Neal, Lisa Harris, and Rachael Petherbridge have joined the team, along with Tyson Campos who will soon return from parental leave.
Each officer will support a group of services and departments in the John Hunter Hospital to ensure they’re ready for the transition.
This includes working through a checklist covering key considerations such as equipment, staffing, orientation, and patient flow – all designed to make the move and connection between the two buildings as smooth as possible.
John Hunter Hospital staff should use the table below to find their TAG Lead or Project Officer.
