Snippets…

June 12, 2020 by Maggi Barnard

Beau Wheeldon is the first CWCU Sports Achiever recipient of 2020.

CWCU First Sports Achiever Of 2020: Beau Wheeldon has been awarded the Central West Credit Unions ‘Sports Achiever January 2020’ for competing in the regional Little Athletics Carnival where he qualified to compete in the NSW Track and Field Championships in four events. Beau broke the record as he won the 100m sprint, he also came 1st place in the 70m sprint and came in at 2nd place for long jump and the 200m sprint. A very well-deserved recognition for this local athletic superstar.

Do you know when to REACH? Hospitals and Multipurpose Services across the Southern Sector of the Western NSW LHD (WNSWLHD) will be rolling out the REACH system. The REACH model is already in place across the Central and Northern Sectors of the WNSWLHD. REACH is a system that helps patients, their families and carer/s escalate their concerns with staff about worrying changes in a patient’s condition. The REACH model is a graded approach to patient and family activated escalation:
• Recognise: patients and families can often recognise signs of deterioration before they are clinically evident.
• Engage: we encourage patients and families to engage with their treating team if they are concerned that ‘something is not right’.
• Act: patients and families can request a ‘clinical review’.
• Call: patients and families can call for an independent review if they are still concerned and other avenues are exhausted.
• Help: help will be on its way In Western NSW when you call our REACH number your call will be answered by a nurse from our virtual care team. They will coordinate an independent review of the patient.

If they do not help you with your concerns or the condition is getting worse then ACT. Ask to speak to the Nurse in Charge. Ask for a “Clinical Review”. This should occur within 30 minutes.

Junior Sport Returns: Forbes and District Soccer Club training has commenced this week for their under 14s and 17s and competitive games will begin on 1 July. Forbes Junior AFL and Auskick have also announced that competition will resume 24 July at Gaggin Oval and will run for 10 weeks, until 18 September. Sports Clubs will need to adhere to COVID-19 policies and regulations as advised by the games state body and players and families will be advised of any upcoming changes.

Milla Bruen and Josie Mckenzie are looking forward to kicking off the 2020 soccer season.
