I am very pleased to welcome you to the first of our regular newsletters with latest happenings from Astra.
Winter is here and we expect to continue to increase our work for the next few months. Certainly the beginning of this year has been busy as the Private Hospitals look forward to a fantastic year and the Public Hospitals remain steady.
Up and Coming Events
- Infection Control Study Day – Friday 8th July. This study covers prevention through hand hygiene, hand washing, cleaning monitoring and management of infection. By attending this study day, you will earn a total of 3 hours towards your nursing professional development hours and one star on your Astra Healthcare study day incentive card.
- Next Coffee Drop In – Tuesday 5th July 10am – Open to all staff. A chance to meet the rest of the team, debrief, share info. We will be meeting at the NEW office and look forward to showing you around.
- Mid Winter Xmas Party – You are invited to the Astra Social club’s first event organised by Claire, Noelle, Mo and Steph. Saturday the 16th of July 7pm at the Blarney Stone (up the stairs) Molly Malones pub, Courtenay Place. There is a prize for the best Christmas inspired outfit. Should be a fun night!
You can find more information on our events at our Facebook page and also on the Astra website. Please Contact Geline by email to enrol for any of our study days.
New Shift Booking System
We are excited to be introducing our new online staff booking system over the next few weeks.
This will make your life a lot easier! Nurses can edit and update their availabilites online and Hospitals eventually will also have direct access to the system.
New Wellington Office
We are very pleased to be moving to a new office on the 1st of July, just around the corner to Level 7, ANZAC House, 181 Willis Street, Wellington. Map link. The new building has an interview room within our area, two working lifts, is earthquake proofed and we have access to a large training room – Yay. We look forward to giving you the tour. All phone numbers and postal addresses will remain unchanged.
Astra is now on Facebook!
We now have an awesome Facebook page. Please visit the page and “like” us so you can post to our wall, interact with other users, and be the first to know about our events and news.
Lastly I personally would like to thank the Astra Healthcare team for their continued hard work and dedication. Each one of our nurses are stars – we have been requiring a lot of you recently and everyone is always keen to step up when it is busy. Thank you!
Kind regards
Trish Stevens
Managing Director
