City and Country Ophthalmic Nursing Services Link Hands
October 2006 saw the beginning of an exciting
partnership between Sydney Eye Hospital, Prince Of Wales
Eye Department and Moree Hospital.
Coordinators Ms Cheryl Moore- Nurse
Educator-Ophthalmology at SH & SEH and Joanna Barton-
Coordinator Outreach Services POWH saw this as an
excellent opportunity to promote both ophthalmic
hospitals clinical and educational expertise. The focus
was to provide staff from the operating theatre in Moree
with both clinical and educational experience thus
enabling them to implement ophthalmic services within
their hospital - commencement date early next year. The
staff found the one-week program both challenging and
rewarding it provided the opportunity to network and
foster links across all sites. The team look forward to
assisting each other in future projects.
