Holbrook MPS invites the community to an open day

Facility Manager, Kayla Hill, said the day will feature a simulated emergency department exercise as well as an opportunity to visit the aged care unit and join the staff, residents and volunteers for lunch and refreshments.

“We have a beautiful, modern facility here in Holbrook, and an incredible team of highly trained staff. We are excited to invite the community to come and see them in action,” said Kayla.

It’s also a chance to see the staff in action, demonstrating the advanced technology and new models of care available for patients.

“The open day will start in the emergency department where we will simulate an emergency response to showcase the skills of our staff and demonstrate the use of the Remote Medical Consultation Service, a virtual care system that enables us to call on a doctor at any time, day or night,” said Kayla.

“We will also demonstrate the new Emergency Care and Treatment (ECAT) protocols that our highly trained staff use to ensure patients start their treatment as soon as possible and spend less time in the emergency department.

“No-one plans to end up in the emergency department, but we hope that seeing our team in action, and the technology that we have available, is reassuring for anyone who finds themselves in need of emergency care in the future.”

Following the emergency scenario and hospital demonstrations, guests will be able to participate in tours of the hospital and aged care wing.

“We have 22 residents who call our facility home and we are proud of the high standard of care we provide,” said Kayla.

“It is a warm and friendly environment, with lots of home comforts as well as regular activities and outings.”

The Holbrook MPS open day will be held on Friday 18 October from 10am-12.30pm, and everyone is welcome to attend. No RSVP is required. For further information please contact Facility Manager Kayla Hill on 02 6052 2800.
