Located in the picturesque Blue Mountains, Blue Mountains Hospital (BMH) is a gem among the bush. However, the humble BMH Education Unit (a cottage) had to deal with an unfortunate facts: It is juxtaposed with the busy Great Western Highway (GWH), and the quality of staff education activities were impacted by the traffic noise from the adjacent GWH, especially from the trucks.
NICCER, after holding a RACEplus course in the Education Unit 2 years ago realised the fact that the venue is not optimal for education purpose. Hence, NICCER suggested a sound proof upgrade to the Unit and a new audio visual system be installed to BMH General Manager. As a charitable organisation, NICCER naturally agreed to bear most of costs. With the kind approval and support of the General Manager, the upgrade went ahead smoothly. With collaborative efforts, the Education Unit is now sound proof and have a new audio visual system for education!
