Graduates of the 2023 NSLHD Applied Safety and Quality Program were recently recognised in a ceremony at Royal North Shore Hospital.

Last year the district introduced the program to staff members and over the year there were 13 graduates who work across NSLHD.

Graduates of the program gained expertise in healthcare safety and quality and are entitled to university credits towards subjects related to safety and quality at several partner universities.

The program was completed in a practical nature, with 70 per cent of learning taking place in the workplace, which included leading an improvement project and completing learning application activities.

NSLHD Board Deputy Chair Emeritus Professor Mary Chiarella and Chief Executive Anthony Schembri attended the ceremony and presented the graduates of the program with their certificates.

Anthony thanked the graduates for taking part in the program.

“Congratulations to all of our graduates and thank you for your leadership and passion to ensure we continue to provide the best and highest quality care for our community,” he said.
