The Nursing and Midwifery Directorate is delighted to invite wards and multi-disciplinary departments to enter the most anticipated event of the year: Western Health’s annual Christmas Decorating Competition!

To take part in the competition please refer to the attached entry notification which highlights criteria, rules, entrance requirements and prizes.

We encourage you to embrace your team’s creativity, decorate your department whilst enjoying some team comradery.

As with all good competitions, there are some rules and guidelines. Therefore, we are asking that, in additional to the rules on the entry notification, that the following be adhered to;

  • Decorations must not be placed in front, beside or over any air scrubbers, air inlets and outlets.
  • Decorations should not be placed in positions where they will be touched by multiple hands.
  • Decorations must be kept away from high risk areas within the zones, including surfaces that require frequent cleaning, patient zones, patient equipment and donning and doffing zones.
  • Decorations should not include organic materials including leaves or branches.

Please be kind to the environment when considering the materials for your decorations and don’t forget to submit your videos/photos prior to the closing date of Friday 8th December 2023 at 5pm.
