North Metropolitan Health Service is delighted to announce the finalists for the 2024 Go the Extra Mile (GEM) Awards.

The GEM Awards are designed to recognise people and teams that go over and above to provide high quality service to our patients, the organisation and the broader community.

This year we received a variety of nominations from our sites and services and would like to thank staff who took the time to put forward a colleague or team who excel in their workplace.
