We are proud to celebrate our own Jessica Southwell, Clinical Nurse and Midwife, who has been recognised as the runner up in the People Caring for People Award category as part of the 2025 National Ramsay Way Awards.
Jessica is known across our hospital for her warmth, advocacy and exceptional clinical care. She brings a calm presence to challenging moments, supports her colleagues with genuine kindness and ensures every patient feels seen and supported. Her commitment to high-quality, person-centered care shines through in everything she does, and this recognition reflects the difference she makes to our community every day.
We also congratulate Heather Black from Linacre Private Hospital, this year’s People Caring for People Award winner and Jack Reid from Donvale Rehabilitation Hospital, a fellow runner up in the category.
This is a wonderful achievement for Jessica and a proud moment for the whole Port Macquarie team. Well done, Jessica.
