the hospital to run day-to-day as well as the
recruitment, induction and training of 450
staff who came from across Australia.
A capacity to identify and utilise the unique
skills of his team, allowed Mr Rawstron to
pool together the collective knowledge to
evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of
other operating methods and develop
leading edge processes.
As a result of Mr Rawstron’s fastidious tracking,
the construction and fit out of this fully digital
hospital was delivered ready for its first
operation on 15 June 2010. The hospital has
set the benchmark for the provision of health
care services in the private hospital sector.
“I would like to congratulate evan,” said
Michael Roff, Chief executive officer, Australian
Private Hospitals Association. “The innovation,
drive and determination to ensure that
Macquarie University Hospital was open for
patients on time and on budget is a credit to
him and this hospital.”
“each year, private hospitals treat more than 3
million Australians and it is the work of staff
such as evan, whose efforts behind the scenes
often goes unnoticed, that allows us to
continue providing quality, personalised
health care to Australians when they need it,”
said Mr Roff.
Mr Rawstron is one of three finalists in this
category that recognises staff who have
excelled in the provision of administrative,
hospitality or maintenance services; all areas
that underpin the care provided to private
hospital patients.
The team from APHA came to the hospital to
present Mr Rawstron with the award. All staff
were invited to celebrate Australian Private
Hospital’s Week at a morning tea hosted by
MUH. The event also provided the executive
of the Hospital with an opportunity to thank
staff for their enormous contribution in the
development and running of this facility.
