Role Title: Improved Emergency Code Response Pathways for PCH Allied Health Intern
Organisation: Child and Adolescent Health Service
Internship Period: Summer (November - December)
Location: Nedlands
The role will be to review the current Perth Children’s Hospital Allied Health training and response to emergency codes, and scrutinise the gap analysis previously conducted to develop and implement work instructions for Allied Health staff and associated support staff at the Perth Children’s Hospital. This will include the development of orientation, education, monitoring and communication plans (not the education content, but opportunities and workflows). Stakeholder engagement activities will occur and the intern will participate (i.e. Team meetings, feedback and communications).
It is hoped these resources will result in increased confidence and safety for staff involved in emergency situations, resulting in improved outcomes for staff and patients.
The Child and Adolescent Health Service is part of the Department and has a vision, values and strategic objectives for 2018 - 2023 to achieve healthy kids and healthy communities for Western Australia.
