GOVE HOSP IT AL MANAGEMENT BOARD

ANNUAL REPORT FOR YEAR ENDING 30TH JUNE 2005

HOSPITAL STAFFING 1. MEDICAL STAFF

Dr Nikola Ognyenovits commenced as Director of Medical Services following the resignation of Dr Bill Lax.

Medical staffing has remained at establishment during the year despite a difficult recruitment climate.

2. ADMINISTRATION AND NURSING LEADERSHIP

The new combined role of General Manager/Director of Nursing is working well and advantages in the combined role are apparent.

3. PROFESSIONAL STAFF Pharmacy

Laboratory

Radiography

Physiotherapy

A pharmacist has been appointed to the staff of the hospital and we are now able to deliver a high standard pharmacy to the hospital and to the remote clinics we service.

This service is now networked across the Territory and as a result of this GOH has rotational pathology staff.

The management of the service falls to the Business Manager of Katherine Hospital who is working to achieve standardisation of practices and equipment however line management remains with the GM of GOH. Mr Glenn Lynch is the Chief Scientist and Dr Gary Lum is the Chief Pathologist. As a result of these changes GOH now enjoys an even higher standard and proof of this is in the awarded NA TA accreditation. The laboratory goes for its second survey on 31st October.

Mr David Outen continues in the position of Radiographer/Sonographer and 4278 x rays and ultrasounds were performed during the year.

Mrs Kate Bose continues to provide physiotherapy services.
