Paediatric Units

This network is a combination of the Paediatric Units network and the Nurse Unit Managers network. It serves as a multidisciplinary group for staff in non-tertiary paediatric units and a peer group for nurse unit managers.
Chairs: Janine Sawford (Royal Hobart Hospital TAS), Susan Moloney (Gold Coast University Hospital QLD) & Clinton Griffiths (Ballarat Health Service VIC)
Who is it for?
Clinicians in non-tertiary paediatric units interested to network with peers on a wide range of issues relevant to delivering care to children & families as part of adult healthcare services
Nurse unit managers (NUMs) interested in collaboratively sharing challenges and success to improve the delivery of services for children & families.
“When I first joined CHA, I was reaching out to a well-established network of like-minded children and young people advocates, searching for how to improve and do things better by sharing experiences and ideas. Now I understand how amazing this network ability is and I have proof of how it has helped our local kids and families…”
