Congratulations to all the graduates of the 2025 Calvary Graduate Nurse/Midwife Transition Program.

Program coordinators, clinical managers, and hospital executives came together with our graduates to celebrate the successful completion of their 12-month rotations within acute and perioperative areas of our three hospitals.

We are excited to continue supporting you as you grow your experience, strengthen your knowledge, and build your careers in the years ahead.

Staff and visitors were treated to freshly cooked pancakes in the atrium this morning, as it’s Shrove Tuesday - a firm favourite on the calendar for anyone with a sweet tooth.

The day is marked each year on the day before Ash Wednesday, to use up rich foods such as eggs, milk and sugar before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent: hence pancakes!

A beautiful way to mark Valentine's Day, and celebrate love! 🥰
Thank you to The Mary Potter Foundation Inc. and all involved.

Please join us in welcoming our Graduate Nurse/Midwife Transition Program (GNTP) participants!

These nurses and midwives are starting their careers with Calvary this week, having been successful in obtaining a placement in this structured program, designed to help them confidently transition from student to registered clinician.

Supported by dedicated coordinators, preceptors and clinical educators, the program includes a comprehensive orientation, study days, and ongoing learning opportunities to help consolidate knowledge and build strong clinical practice.

Here at North Adelaide, our GNTPs will work across a range of medical, surgical, cancer, maternity, women’s health, and palliative care services over the next 12 months. We welcome them to the Calvary family, and wish them a long and fulfilling career.

When asked what support has been most important during her cancer treatment, Belinda speaks warmly of her network of loved ones, but she also highlights the support of one particularly important person, herself.

“Being your own support person and cheer squad is so important. I knew there would be days when I wouldn’t feel great about myself, but I chose to smile at the person I saw every time I passed a mirror. When everything feels overwhelming, the person looking back at you understands exactly how you feel.”

This recognition of self-love inspired Belinda to write a poem, a piece quite different from the light-hearted, rhyming verses she usually creates. She now wishes to share it with others on a similar journey, in the hope it serves as a gentle reminder of the strength and comfort that can be found from within.

I see you

You’ll catch a glimpse of them in the reflection of a window,
or as you pass by a mirror.
You’ve known each other all your life.
Your closest friend.
Your personal cheer squad.
Your team.
They know that things are tough right now, what you’re going through
and how hard you are trying to keep it together.
The effort it takes.
And sometimes it all seems too much
And you smile at them, acknowledging you understand them too.
You are there for them, as they are for you.
Always.
And you feel just a little stronger each time.
They get it.
They are always there.
I value that friend I see every day.

Our incredible volunteers gathered Tuesday, for a special Christmas lunch to celebrate the festive season together.

Lovingly prepared by our hospitality team, the lunch provided a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to connect, relax, and enjoy some festive cheer. Managers and staff joined the celebration to ensure our volunteers felt welcomed, valued, and truly appreciated.

Our volunteers play an essential role across the hospital, supporting patients and staff in countless ways every day. We are deeply grateful for their dedication and generosity.

A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of our volunteers, and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

Congratulations to our Mary Potter Team Award nominees, and to the overall winner – Day Procedure Suites!

The team consistently exemplifies the values of Calvary and Mary Potter through their clinical excellence, commitment to service, and collaborative approach to patient care.

Working alongside VMOs in a highly specialised and technically advanced field, the team consistently maintains and develops their expertise to provide the highest quality care to some of the most acutely unwell members of our community.
The team demonstrates responsible and forward-thinking management of resources. They ensure patients have access to the latest technology and procedures, while actively training and upskilling other staff. This ensures the service can grow to meet the needs of a wider patient cohort, while maintaining exceptional standards of care.

In the Day Procedure Suite, the team fosters a supportive and respectful environment, where collaboration is at the core of daily practice. Staff continually support one another and work together seamlessly to deliver safe, person-centred care aligned with Calvary’s mission and values.
