Last year, Dr. Ali Yahkshi Tafti trialed a way to recognize consultants who went the extra mile in patient care and/or help create a positive collegial environment with their small day to day actions. For lack of creativity, it was called the GoldStar Award.
It was a great success: ER docs who nominated consultants, as well as those consultants themselves, reported a better relationship with their colleagues, an increase feeling of well-being, and an improved sense of workplace satisfaction.
So, it is with pleasure that we announce the rollout of the GoldStar awards across the South Island MSA!
- As a physician, please keep your eyes open for people who go the extra mile to care for a patient or who are working in their own way to contribute to a positive work environment. This can be a fellow doc, a nurse, an allied care provider, a housekeeper, a volunteer, a PSO…anyone who is making it better to work at RJH or VGH!
- Send an email our way with the name of the person and a brief description of how they’re making patient care or our workplace better.
- We’ll send them your thanks and a gift card to Good Earth
- Each month, we’ll celebrate Gold Star winners on our website.
Questions and nominations can be sent to info@southislandmsa.ca.
Thanks for joining us on this year of appreciation!
