Gosford Private Executives to hit the World Stage

Gosford Private Hospital Executives, Matt Kelly and Jennifer McNamara, have been chosen to present at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic – Patient Experience: Empathy & Innovation Summit in the United States in May.


Gosford Private Hospital Executives, Matt Kelly (CEO) and Jennifer McNamara (Director of Clinical Services), have been chosen from over 250 worldwide applicants to present at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic – Patient Experience: Empathy & Innovation Summit in the United States in May.

The pair will present to the Summit’s delegates, sharing the journey the hospital’s staff have undertaken over the past two years, embedding a ‘patient-centred’ care approach to healthcare at Gosford Private Hospital.

“Gosford Private is at the forefront of a change in the way that hospital providers care for their patients. This is still very much an emerging approach in Australia, and we’re pleased to be one of the first hospitals to have moved to a new approach to healthcare, where patients are at the heart of everything we do.”

“Our whole team has worked hard over the past two years to establish five key values at Gosford Private – Best Practice; Best Experience; It’s Personal; Respect; Positive Energy. These values have helped guide the work that we do, and now underpin how the hospital operates, ensuring that all patients, staff and visitors have positive experiences and outcomes,” said Matt Kelly, Gosford Private Hospital Chief Executive Officer.

The presentation submission “Introduction of Patient-Centred Care in the Australian Context” was selected as a perfect fit for the Summit’s program, and the pair will use the session to describe the way Gosford Private Hospital has changed its organisational culture, guided by consumer engagement and industry best practice from around the world.

“We are proud to have the opportunity to represent Australia and the Central Coast in front of industry experts and hospital Executives in Cleveland. Although the Central Coast may be relatively small, we are achieving big things and proud to be delivering better health, right here on the Central Coast,” said Mr Kelly.
