South Metropolitan Health Service Board Award
This award is presented to an employee who over their career has demonstrated exceptional commitment to ensuring Western Australians receive safe, high quality and accessible health services, no matter where they live.
2019 winner: Sharon Rowe
Sharon Rowe is a Clinical Nurse Consultant with the State Adult Burns Service at Fiona Stanley Hospital. She has more than 30 years’ experience working in burns and is well known for her willingness to share her expertise and experience, not only within SMHS with but WA’s rural and remote clinicians and communities.
To say Sharon goes above and beyond in her role, understates her commitment and dedication to her patients and her advocacy on their behalf. Sharon helps connect past patients with new patients with similar burn injuries in an effort to bring them informal peer support that no clinician can provide.
She is known for her exceptional attention to detail and is a centre-point for people to call on whether it be advice with a wound dressing, case managing a complex patient remotely, or consoling a distressed family member over the phone. Amongst her many responsibilities, Sharon takes the time to educate, build relationships, and above all, always puts the patient first.
