Dr Nhi Nguyen wears many hats.
She is a staff specialist from the Department of Intensive Care Medicine and member of the NBMLHD Board.
She’s also the Clinical Lead for the Nepean Redevelopment, the Clinical Director Intensive Care NSW and Co-Chair of the Health System Advisory Council.
This year, she’s being recognised for her commitment to health care and her community following her nomination as a finalist for Staff Member of the Year in the 2024 NSW Health Awards.
Speaking to her nomination, Nhi is humbled by the nominations from her peers at NBMLHD, Ministry of Health and Agency for Clinical Innovation.
“For me, the nomination is an opportunity to reflect on my contributions in health care. It is equally a recognition of all the amazing colleagues I work with everyday,” says Nhi.
“The diversity in what is needed from me and who I meet is the most exciting part of my day. Each day may hold different challenges however there are endless opportunities for collaboration and making a difference.”
In all her years’ experience, Nhi remains motivated to being part of the team journey in providing quality health care and improving the patient experience.
“NBMLHD, despite seeing it grow over the last 20 years, there is still a sense of community as I walk the corridors or join meetings to catch up with colleagues and friends. Many have worked in the district for many years and live locally which means very few have not been touched by Nepean Blue Mountains staff in some way,” says Nhi.
“We are also entering such an exciting time, having delivered Stage 1 of the Nepean Redevelopment and well into the delivery of Stage 2 which will include a fabulous new front of house entry, education centre and brand new intensive care unit.”
Congratulations Nhi on your nomination!
In the coming weeks we’ll also highlight NBMLHD’s Virtual Health Interpreters, nominated for the Excellence in Multicultural Healthcare Award.
The finalists and winners will be celebrated at the NSW Health Awards ceremony, held on Thursday 24 October. Further information on the 2024 NSW Health Awards, including a full list of finalists is available on the NSW Health website.
