Dear Colleagues,
I hope you have had a chance to spend some quality time with your family and friends during the Christmas holiday. At GHK, we welcomed back an array of Christmas celebrations after a long hiatus, and I was pleased to learn that many of us shared joy and laughter together as we were approaching the end of the year.
I look back on the important milestones we made in Year 2023 with pride. During the year we expanded our service network through the launch of the Parkway Laboratory Services Central and the first clinic of Gleneagles Healthcare. To raise our day service capability and capacity, space reconfiguration for 1/F of our hospital was conducted progressively. These changes have allowed us to house a new Dialysis Centre which is expected to become operational in January 2024. Simultaneously, we have made steady progress in tapping into the Greater Bay Area via establishing strategic partnerships with healthcare providers in the Mainland and providing quality care to Mainland patients referred to us. And last but definitely not least, we have recently been accredited by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) International for the second time. I see this a testament to our attainment of high standards across a wide spectrum of our hospital services and patient care. My appreciation to you all for making these happen and for your continuous pursuit of excellence.
You probably should have received the good news that starting from 1 January 2024, we will be bringing to you a few new benefits including the newly-introduced birthday leave, the enhanced annual leave scheme for Junior General Staff and Enrolled Nurses, and the extended compassionate leave. I do hope you can feel the efforts we made in caring for your wellbeing. Things may not yet be perfect, but we will continue to understand your needs and make GHK a place that all staff will be proud to be part of. Meanwhile, I call on your support to invite your friends and people around you who are looking to provide excellent patient care in a fulfilling environment to join our GHK family.
We will be ushering in 2024 in a couple of days. I am all excited about further growing our services under the Gleneagles brand in different parts of the city and making the best of the many opportunities both locally and beyond. The year ahead will bring its own challenges, yet, I’m sure that our professionalism and unique strengths will earn us more success and more trust from our patients, partners and the wider community!
May the New Year bring you and your family prosperity and new hopes!
Warm regards,
