We were honoured to welcome Julian Loh, QIC Sustainability Manager for Climate, Nature and Innovation, and Scott Pickering, Evolution Chair, to this year's He Autaia Awards evening. Julian and Scott presented the QIC Innovation Awards (Safety Category) to Tanja Klumpers (Evolution Healthcare) and Kerri Cooley (Royston Hospital) for the outstanding achievements and continued rollout of the WebPAS Project.

The WebPAS Project was the runner-up for Hospitals and Day Surgeries in the 2024 He Autaia Quality Awards for the implementation of the Patient Journey Boards within Royston Hospital and Wakefield Hospital. Since then, it has been rolled out across BirthcareParnell and Anglesea Hospital, and has been further implemented at Royston Hospital and Wakefield Hospital, creating enhanced patient care across the sites by providing visibility of the patient's stage of care, from triage to wards, and who is leading their care.

The project was then entered in the QIC Innovation Awards held in August this year, in which they won the Safety Category.

Congratulations to the Evolution Healthcare IT & Royston & Wakefield hospital teams who worked to develop the e-whiteboard project. A well-deserved recognition! 🎉💙

🌏 National ShakeOut Day – Thursday 16 October

This year, we’re joining thousands of New Zealanders to ensure we are prepared for an earthquake or tsunami.

Why it matters:
✔ Emergencies can happen anytime, with little or no warning
✔ Practising your response builds confidence and reduces panic
✔ Being prepared helps protect you, your whānau, and your community

Now’s the time to talk about your plan—at home, at work, or with your wider community. Every step we take to prepare today makes us stronger tomorrow.

Find out how you can take part: getready.govt.nz/shakeout
