You’re invited to the 2022 NSW Health Gathering of Kindness
Content 1
September 2022 edition
A smile, a hello, a please or thank you, are those small acts of kindness that make a big difference to the experiences of our staff, our patients and their families and carers, across NSW.
NSW Health’s Gathering of Kindness is celebrated annually during November, using World Kindness Day to continue a conversation about kindness and compassion.
NSW Health has a strong and proud history of providing safe and kind care to patients, families, carers and volunteers. Help us continue to build and nurture a culture of kindness across NSW Health.
The 2022 Gathering of Kindness, held on 7 - 13 November and will be our biggest and best event to date.
The Division of Patient Experience and System Performance is thrilled to have partnered with Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District and the Hush Foundation, to deliver a hybrid event, offering in-person and virtual sessions focusing on Creativity, Change, Collaboration, Courage, and Contemplation
