Ashley Godden

  • Unity

Ashley works at one of our hospital sites. Everyday can be a challenge, never knowing what challenges will walk through the door. A call was made from the ED stating there was a patient with mental health needs that has an extensive history of being aggressive. Ash and his colleague Natham, attended the scene in a calm, friendly and professional manner. They liaised between the medical team, mental health team, and patient transport team. A long wait of nearly 5 hours meant be immediately available outside of the patients room as his behaviour was unpredictable. The professional approach to keep the patient calm and ensure a smooth transition over to the patient transport team meant there was no need to physically intervene as there words of encouragement ensured the mission was successfully completed. This was a great team effort between Nathan and Ash who communicated well between several departments a a challenging patient. Great work!
