Our research team was invited to attend, participate in, and present at the Orange Aboriginal Medical Service (OAMS) Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Day on Friday. There were over 50 of the 132 OAMS staff in attendance (a number had to attend sorry business). It was a warm, friendly, and impressive event where the work of many of the teams was presented. The day included reports from the Holistic Healing team, Early Years team, Marketing & Communication team, a Clinical update, IT update, and team building.
Dr Liz Pressick (CSU RHRI) organised for Emily-Jane and I to present with Liz, Hazel and Benedict. Liz is an important bridge builder and for our team. It was wonderful to be welcomed as a part of the OAMS family and for the CSU team to receive applause and unsolicited public thanks (including for Benedict’s data presentation) from a number of the OAMS team during the open mic sharing.
This was a milestone in our relationship with the OAMS team and will enable the next phases of our research to co-design impactful resources and services to support children’s communication.
