"Rudeness"

About: Busselton Health Campus

(as a carer),

One of the staff who works in the hospital is, based on my experience, repeatedly rude without a smile whether it is face to face or on the phone - I believe it makes no difference!

I believe a smile costs nothing, in fact it can make someone's day! In my opinion, many folks who attend the hospital can be cheered simply by a smile and a cheery Good morning. In my experience, the volunteers at the front desk do a wonderful job of it always! (And I understand they are not even paid).

I believe eye contact is also very important, even if they are on the phone. Just acknowledging someone's presence. This staff member has been, from what I have experienced, consistently rude and I feel they do not listen but talk over me and has done so since I stepped into the hospital for the first time some time ago. I understand their job is to serve people - not for people to serve them! In my opinion, they need to change their attitude. Thank you!

Dear hekaxk87,

Thank you for providing your feedback. I sincerely apologise for the experience you have had whilst interacting with one of our staff. I agree, a smile and a good morning go a long way in relieving anxiety and improving communication, so it is very disappointing to hear that this has not been your experience.

The meet and greet volunteers at the Health Campus do a wonderful job and we are very thankful to have them as part of our team.

To be able to address the concerns you have raised with the individual, I would greatly appreciate if you could please contact me on 9753 6371. Thank you.

Kind Regards

Jodie Omodei

Operations Manager Coastal
