Department of Health, Tasmania’s Post

After 34 years as a Registered Nurse at the Royal Hobart Hospital, it is time for Ali Lewis to hang up her scrubs. Ali began her nursing career in 1982. She worked for a few years in the UK and across Australia before settling in the RHH’s Department of Critical Care Medicine (DCCM) over three decades ago. “Ali has seen many changes throughout the years in the Critical Care space, but continued to adapt and learn, supporting her colleagues and advocating for patient care along the way,” says Ellen Burke, Nurse Unit Manager – DCCM. “Ali has always provided me and many others with support and guidance, whilst also challenging us all to be the best critical care nurses (and doctors) we could be.” Thanks to Ali’s inspiring career as an ICU nurse, her daughter Steph knew from a young age that she wanted to work in the ICU and help save lives. 💙 “I know one of Ali’s greatest achievements is seeing Steph transition through the Introduction to Critical Care Program and this year, complete her postgraduate certificate in Critical Care Nursing,” says Ellen. Ali and Steph, pictured here, were fortunate to work together in the ICU for the last two years. 🙌🏼 Thank you Ali for your wonderful service and commitment to the Tasmanian community. We wish you all the very best for the adventures that await! ✨ #healthcareers #nursesrock #tasmania
