In this edition of the CEO Update…

CEO David Meates welcomes the new year and decade and looks at how far we’ve come from what we once imagined 2020 would be like. He pays tribute to Toni Gutschlag, General Manager, Mental Health who has taken up a new role at the Ministry of Health, and also shares that this year is the World Health Organization’s International Year of the Nurse and Midwife.

This issue also looks at changes being made to tackle the threat of ‘superbugs'; announces the launch of transgender care pathways; encourages staff to share their innovative ideas; congratulates the team of the Activity Room at Christchurch Hospital for a job well done; recognises a community service award recipient and long-standing staff member; and much more.
