VICTORIAN PUBLIC HEALTHCARE AWARDS The Victorian Public Healthcare Awards 2007 recognised the initiatives, expertise and dedication of health services across Victoria. Health services both large and small across the state nominated for the awards, with many innovative service responses highlighted. The theme of the 2007 awards was a demonstrated commitment to collaboration, partnership, governance and leadership. MANY THANKS During the year I was well supported by the President and Chair of the Board of Management, Greg Andrews, and by the other Board of Management members. I acknowledge and thank them for their support and contribution over the past year. Many thanks to our volunteers who gave tirelessly of their time and contributed to the smooth operation of our local health service. Their continued dedication to providing high quality service must be commended. I also take this opportunity to thank our service providers and the staff of Portland District Health who work so hard to deliver a quality health service to our community, and who have contributed to our success of the past twelve months. Category eight - Excellence in Health Promotion and Prevention - saw Portland District Health’s entry “Towards a Healthy Heart” win over the other finalists, a drug education campaign submitted by the Metropolitan Ambulance Service and sustainable farm family’s entry from Western District Health Service. I would particularly like to thank and acknowledge Pat Turnbull, who has completed a huge task in reconstructing Portland District Health’s financial ledgers, and Vicki Taylor, who has provided extremely professional administrative support to me and the Board of Management. THE YEAR AHEAD Progressing aspects of our strategic direction, the Clinical Services Plan and Model of Care, remains a priority along with the recruitment of medical staff to ensure a safe and sustainable health service. Another key priority will be the development of a business case in support of an integrated ambulatory care unit in partnership with Deakin University and the Otway Division of General Practice. IN SUMMARY In summary, 2007/08 has been a demanding year, yet we can all be proud of Portland District Health’s achievements. We look forward to the challenges and opportunities that will come in the next twelve months. In addition, rising wage pressure and inflationary costs will see continued pressure on Portland District Health’s financial viability.
