Two nurses. Safer communities. Safer care.
We remember Gayle Woodford and stand for practical protections for remote nurses: safer after-hours responses, risk assessments, communication, escalation pathways and reliable employer support.
Before you fly: ask these questions
- Who answers your emergency call at 2 am?
- How are after-hours attendances assessed and staffed?
- Are accommodation doors, windows and clinic vehicle keys secure?
- Are clinic system accounts, passwords and MFA ready before arrival?
- Who can support or relocate you if a placement becomes unsafe?
- What are the procedures for domestic and family violence incidents and personal safety?
Practical precautions may include secure vehicles, parking with a clear exit where appropriate, and knowing the communication and emergency response plan. Follow local procedures and risk assessments.
