Murrumbidgee Local Health District (MLHD) would like to congratulate Rachael Murdoch, Allied Health Assistant, within the Older Persons Mental Health Inpatient Unit in Wagga. Rachael was shortlisted as a finalist in the 2023 NSW Health Excellence in Allied Health Awards category.
Rachael is a 2023 finalist in the Allied Health Assistant, Technician or Support Person of the year category. She embodies a positive can-do attitude which in return has improved the team’s culture and has left positive impacts on our consumers' recovery journeys.
Rachael’s compassion for consumers is seen in many forms such as organising group and one-to-one activities, running exercise and dance classes and many therapy-based engagements such as assessments and interventions requested by the team.
Rachael is a great advocate for her elderly consumers and their families and will go above and beyond to ensure they are receiving the most out of their admission.
The NSW Health Excellence in Allied Health Awards acknowledge the passion, dedication and contributions that allied health professionals and their support staff provide in NSW. The awards also demonstrate NSW Health's commitment, respect and value to the critical contribution that allied health has in delivering patient-centred care.
The Awards ceremony will be held at 6pm on 23 February and be livestreamed.
