Meet Ravinder:
What do you love most about your job?
I am doing my graduate year in mental health in Ramsay Clinic Albert Road and this gives me the opportunity to make therapeutic relationships with clients at some of their most vulnerable moments. Its incredible rewarding to support individuals through their recovery journey and see even small steps forward. I appreciate how much I am learning not just clinically but also about myself developing resilience, empathy and strong communication skills. The team support and supervision along my grade year has been invaluable in helping me grow both professionally and personally. I am extremely thankful to Ramsay Clinic Albert Road to give me this opportunity.
What’s it’s like working in a mental health clinic?
As a grad nurse working in a mental health clinic the experience has been incredibly eye opening and fulfilling. I support client’s dealing with a wide range of mental health issues like depression, psychosis, and substance abuse. My role involves administrating medication, monitoring mental state, supporting recovery plans, and most importantly making therapeutic relationship. It can be challenging at times, especially during crisis. But I have learned so much about communication, empathy and staying calm under pressure. I think I am really making difference with the team support and supervision.
What makes a clinic feel like a safe and welcoming place?
As per Ramsay motto” People caring for people”, when clients enter Ramsay they feel safe and welcoming place because of the supportive environment created by both staff and systems. From the moment the clients walk in, there a calm, respectful atmosphere. Staff are trauma informed, nonjudgmental and genuinely committed to person centered care. Safety is the priority through clear boundaries, regular risk assessments and collaborative team communication.
