WORLD KINDNESS DAY 2024 Today is a day to honour not only deeds of kindness but also the intrinsic worth of compassion, inspiring people to reflect on themselves, strengthen their bonds with others and perform heartfelt acts of kindness. Kindness really is a superpower!

It's time for me to get motivated and start getting fit! What a great way to get motivated and started. For those that can, please support me on this journey by donating to support those with Cerebral Palsy. Any amount is greatly appreciated! steptember.org.au/fundraiser…

Loved presenting with Dan Graham from @med_apps today on behalf of @LucyHaver and the amazing teams across @SEastSydHealth at the @nswaci Aged Health Collaborative Forum. We shared our experience of using @med_apps as a tool to support a QI project to increase staff awareness and confidence with preventing and managing falls. After a 12 week pilot, we saw that 62% staff reported an increase in confidence with post fall communication, recognising and responding to delirium/dementia and information and resources available for patients. 80% of respondents said that falls assessment and management plans, falls procedures and guidelines and patient falls information was easier to access using the app. @NSWCEC
