Gale Hynes
Murrumbidgee Local Health District
Gale has championed the case of those people living
with severe and enduring mental illness, those with the poorest life expectancies in our communities, secondary to comorbid physical ill health, and has systematically addressed the many issues which perpetuate this. Gale ensures that systems operate to support the safe and effective prescribing, dispensing and administration of the 'last resort' antipsychotic medication, Clozapine.
Gale has developed and implemented numerous resources, and provided education across the Murrumbidgee Local Health District catchment area to community pharmacists, prescribing GPs, aged care facilities and the non-Government sector.
Dr Jennifer Anne Stevens
St Vincent's Health Network
D
r Stevens leads numerous successful, inexpensive collaborative programs. Each program demonstrates her ability to bring together disparate groups t
o deliver positive clinical outcomes, enhanced patient safety and empowered staff.
Her skill lies in connecting the collection of local baseline data, drawing together the right people across departments, health agencies and pillar organisations, and organising innovative scalable programs.
These include:
teaching senior emergency department nurses across NSW to perform nerve blocks to reduce delirium rates
aiding eHealth NSW in creating a physician-facing audit software tool now available across the state
connecting health agencies with surgeons to reduce regional community opioid use.
