Excellence in Aged Care Did you miss the international day of the Older Person? On 1 October, the aged care clinical network of QLD (ACCH) Health celebrated by presenting excellence awards to one outstanding individual practitioner and to the leading aged care team in the Southern area of Queensland. Karen Struthers, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Health, spoke enthusiastically of the fine leadership, dedication and quiet passion of those working in the often testing area of aged care before she and geriatrician Dr Paul Vargeare, chair of the ACCH, presented the top awards and highly commended certificates to two other impressive nominees. Pat Tovey, a social worker from the Princess Alexandra hospital won the individual award and the team from Ipswich hospital ward 6B (Acute Rehabilitation, Aged Care and Stroke services) accepted the team award. Well done to all nominees. It is comforting to those of us in the ageing population to know that genuine caring for the aged excels in our public hospitals and is available to those of us who may need it now or in the future. – Maida Lilley |
