Vicki Manning
Director of Nursing and Midwifery
St George Hospital
“Six months ago I was asked to give a presentation where I worked at Concord hospital a long time ago. I was asked to open their inaugural Nursing Grand Rounds and speak as an ex-employee, and reflect on my time as a nurse. It made me realise how broad my exposure was, I’ve presented internationally, I’ve done research, I’ve travelled all over Australia for my work… it’s all contributed to the leader that I am today.
So many things happen during the day, that sometimes it can be hard to leave work. I have a personal trainer that I work out with at 5.30am, three times a week. That’s how I look after myself.”
