16: Sydney Childrens Hospital Network Employee Reviews

I started this role in 2014 as they were opening a new HIU in scanned medical record. Lucky to be offered the opportunity because not many hospitals that time were going electronic. Plus it was closer to home. I worked at RNSH before this in a similar setting and found difficult to apply for other medical records jobs. At the beginning it was 6FTE plus casual pool staff to assist with scanning older records. Then overtime it came down to fewer staff. Overtime I got tired of the place and role including being placed on reception most days until the last months of working there and needed to go and get change.It did give me the skills to challenge and progress myself though.Over the years, most of the staff and resources shifted to Westmead children’s hosptial HIU.I enjoyed the party days there and being able to dress up. I am in contact with a few colleagues there to this date.

Pros

Collaborative, closer to home, Good colleagues, tea parties

Cons

No career progression, favouritism of roles and colleagues

Nice and friendly team

Reporting Engineer (Former Employee) - Westmead NSW - 12 September 2022

The team I was in was friendly and helpful and was always ready to pitch in when urgent work needs to be done. Although there were times when extra hours are needed to meet deadlines, our manager always is fair in regards to giving time in lieu.

Pros

Manager was flexible and very accomodating.

Cons

CCL is not my favorite tool.

Loved working for this hospital. Had a permanent shift which gave me good worklife balance. Thoroughly enjoyed my specialty in nursing as it was different to my past clinical experience as a Registered Nurse.

Review

Administrative Officer (Current Employee) - Randwick, NSW - 8 June 2012

A very busy workplace. You meet different families every day and it is so rewarding to see a smile from the sick patients. They speak to you and feel so comfortable when you serve them with a smile.
