Testimonials
While we will now build a strong communication network among our self. We begin to see a lot of great impact within our self especially with the assignment development and the application of some approach within our work setting. I acknowledge the great lecture presentation from our resource lectures - Prof Arie Rotem, Andrew Carnegie, Lee Ridoutt. Takio tumas.
This intervention (rostering staff leave to maintain services) has been implemented in my workplace and it has a positive impact within our health service. This is an icebreaker in my workplace and is really encouraging to identify issues and trying to solve them using what I have learn in my Major Assessment Project.
First, I would like to gratefully appreciate the Director of HRDA, Professor Graham Roberts for the vision and wisdom in developing this course and trying to make things meaningful in Solomon Islands context especially accorded to NHSP 2016-2020 and NSD 2016-2035. Thank you very much for your kind understanding towards us in time of hardship we face during the course. I acknowledge you for being very professional and passionate to collaborate with other Emeritus Professors like; Professor Lee Ridoutt and Andrew Carnegie, the FBG Management Consultants. Thank you for all the presentations.
I will repeat the words of our colleague in class: "The food is nice because we have an expert Chef, so we always looked forward for every new day". We all passed because of your teaching methods and motivation. Thank you for everything.
Hi prof. Great to note that we left no one behind its time to look ahead and practically put things together from what we have learnt, looking forward for the next 5 years Strategic plan. Learn from past to make difference.
Thank you Prof Graham. We are all with different backgrounds however, your teaching methods had helped us to achieve our goal to pass the Course. Thank you so much
Thanks Prof Graham. It is incredible and very motivating having this paper to be published and reaching that level, the Australian National University on the DevPolicy Blog.
Great to hear from you again Prof. Graham. I am so pleased to take this course, more than I can express. Very appropriate in my field. Thank you so much and have blessed days.
Thank you very much for the support and encouragement. It was a worthwhile course and I have learnt a lot from it, learning to dream and to take on challenges as opportunities. The importance of embedding change in the existing systems to ensure success, team dynamics and how best to reach out to the different personalities, the different ways to communicate with the different stakeholders based on their power and interest, and to classify risk based on the likelihood and impact. It was also an opportunity for me to learn from the wealth of experience in our group, from accountant, hospital secretary, senior nursing colleagues in various areas and heads of various programs and departments.
I just want to raise my sincere thanks to you all on the HRH Country Profile final draft presentation to the CEO last week. The two professors, your expertise are well taken note off by our team and we salute to you both in such a short time you come up with what we do need to have and I’m sure we will still be able to reach out for your assistance in the future I hope. Malo 'aupito.
