Dear Kay,

Thank you so much for being our Guest speaker today for our student enrolled nurses.

Your talk was extremely informative and educational and very much appreciated by myself and the students.

After each guest speaker I ask the class for anonymous feedback. Without exception, all feedback was extremely positive. Below are examples of the feedback I received.

Aboriginal Strategy Unit

Dear Christian,

The Aboriginal Strategy Unit would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for taking time out of your busy schedule to conduct Health Checks for our Aboriginal staff during their attendance at the State Wide Aboriginal Network (SWAN) in July 2010.

The Network was well attended by Families SA Aboriginal staff from across South Australia and most had the opportunity to take part in the health checks. Many were surprised to find that they needed to take more interest in their health and were talking about making appointments with their doctor.

Kanggawodli 

'Today Kanggawodli referred one of our residents to your clinical team for review and assessment.

The sophisticated and quality care delivered by your team was outstanding and a true indication of the standard of care being delivered by the Community Controlled sector.

Thank you
