I would like to congratulate and acknowledge how hard I feel all the staff in the EDP on level 2 work. The ward clerks are friendly, helpful, kind and caring and always greet us with a smile. It is much appreciated. They follow up with us and do their best to keep us informed and help us access appointments that suit us as often as possible.
Our Care Coordinator, Desley, is professional, compassionate, well informed, helpful and attentive. She has guided us through some very challenging circumstances and has been a calming presence. She follows up and she keeps us in the loop and is always willing to make time to support us.
Dr K has been very supportive, kind, firm and gentle at times and very encouraging. Our adolescent has grown to appreciate her and respect her and to willingly attend medicals knowing she is our doctor.
Dr M has just joined the team. How fortunate we are. She is a dream come true in my opinion - kind, articulate, compassionate, caring, warm, calm, funny and has quickly formed a strong report with our adolescent.
Dieticians, Helen and Robyn have been incredibly patient, tolerant and supportive. I believe they have such a difficult job and they do it so well.
We would love to hear that all the staff are shown appreciation and support of the bloody hard work I believe they do. We hope they are supported and given the resources and ability to continue the amazing and vital work they do.
As a consumer - it would be such a bonus if the hours of the staff were increased. It would be much appreciated if some staff were available until 7pm and even on a weekend. Trying to fit in the appointments around school hours can be a real struggle.
If Medicals could take place from 0700 til 1300 one day and another 1300 til 1900, I believe it would be a real help to so many families. And a Saturday clinic with the option of seeing a psychologist/psychiatrist would also be appreciated.
When the staff are looking at further planning, please take this suggestion seriously and do your best to make it happen, increase the hours. I feel it's time!
"Outstanding and hard-working staff"
