Reward and Recognition
Children’s Health Queensland is an organisation that understands the importance of recognising and rewarding employees who contribute to the workplace and to our patients. Children’s Health Queensland has a number of different programs in place to celebrate our employees and nurture their professional development. These include:
The underlying premise for the nursing education model is one of facilitation of learning and development of practice. To achieve this nurse educators are trained in facilitation, accelerated learning principles and the promotion of an active learning environment.
Clinical, professional and organisational learning occurs throughout a nurse’s career. These spheres offer a structure to comprehensively identify, anticipate and address the practice development needs of nursing staff.
The model identifies each nurse’s responsibilities related to education and training as outlined within each job / role description. It is intended to guide effectiveness in the preceptorship, mentorship and clinical facilitation support processes which enable development of practice.
Opportunities for the development of clinical skills are available through:
- Speciality Workshops
- Mock Medical Emergencies
- Paediatric Life Support (PLS) – APLS Aust and NZ
- Training Line Opportunities
- Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Service Education and Training
