Ramsay Connect Liaison Nurse role established to help patients transition home following surgery

April 29, 2022

Peninsula Private Hospital patients returning home following hospital admission now have added support, thanks to the appointment of experienced Registered Nurse, Michelle McCormick, as the first Ramsay Connect Liaison Nurse.

Ramsay Connect CEO, Ian Galvin, said the role is designed to work closely with clinical leadership, nursing, allied health and medical staff with the aim of strengthening the integration of hospital and community care for Ramsay patients.

“We understand healthcare extends beyond the hospital and have appointed our first Ramsay Connect Liaison Nurse to work with patients, doctors and clinicians across multiple settings to enhance the transition home,” Mr Galvin said. 

“The first days and weeks following a hospital stay can be difficult, and we hope Ms McCormick can provide some additional comfort and support to patients to optimise their recovery.

Ramsay Connect is a joint venture between Ramsay Health Care and Remedy Healthcare and is a national provider of home and community-based healthcare and support.

Since launching in 2020, Ramsay Connect has provided care in the home support for 4,350 people around Australia.

Ms McCormick will be known to many Frankston locals and Peninsula Private Hospital patients, having held many roles over the years including Registered Nurse, Assistant Nurse Unit Manager and Clinical Documentation Specialist. 

Mr Galvin said it was this knowledge of the hospital and surrounding community that made Michelle the ideal candidate for the role.
