As nurses and midwives in hospitals across the south west region celebrated International Nurses Day this week with barbecues, parades and other fun activities, a local MP told parliament what a wonderful job they do.
Greg Warren used his first address since delivering his maiden speech to recognise the invaluable contribution made by local nurses to the Campbelltown community by nurses on International Nurses Day.
Warren thanked nurses from Campbelltown Hospital for their ongoing support to his family and the rest of the local community.
“It would be out of character for me not to express my passion for Campbelltown Hospital and commend the fantastic efforts and commitment of the many staff who work there,’’ the new MP told parliament during his maiden speech.
“I thank the nurses at Campbelltown Hospital, which is where my two sons were born.
“We continue to frequent the hospital for ongoing support.
“I am continually humbled by the dedication, care and concern of the nursing staff.
“We visit the hospital once a month with my eldest son, who requires ongoing paediatric care.
“The nurses are, essentially, the public face of our health system.
“They provide the support and care that can make a patient’s experience easier and more comforting than might otherwise be the case.”
