Munch & Move Munch & Move is a play-based program led by WSLHD Centre for Population Health to support the healthy development of children attending early childhood education centres (ECEC) and family day care (FDC) through practices related to healthy eating, physical activity, breastfeeding and reduced screen time. WSLHD supports the local needs of 468 early childhood education centres and 19 family day care providers across Western Sydney, reaching approximately 32,000 children and their families. As part of the Munch & Move program, WSLHD Centre for Population Health have been supporting WSLHD’s ECECs and FDCs in teaching fundamental movement skills. These movement skills are an essential part of a child’s growth and development as they promote bone and muscle development, emotional and social wellbeing, improved learning and maintaining a healthy weight. The skills taught include running, skipping, catching, and throwing. MUNCH & MOVE OUTCOMES 2022-2023 404 eLearning completions 18 Cooking

WSLHD Cardiotocography (CTG) Solution An electronic medical records (eMR) solution was developed by Digital Health Solutions to provide WSLHD obstetricians the capability to remotely monitor CTG traces that measure the variability of a fetus heartbeat in a mother’s womb, particularly during critical situations when clinicians in a hospital require immediate diagnosis and advice from a consultant Obstetrician working remotely. This digital solution was integrated with Cerner eMR and enabled obstetricians to view CTG traces remotely, securely and in real time using their personal mobile devices. Shining a Light on Domestic and Family Violence in Western Sydney The WSLHD Integrated Violence Prevention and Response Service (IVPRS) and Uniting Youth Service organised a Domestic Violence Remembrance Day on 4 May 2023, where Western Sydney community members gathered in Centenary Square Parramatta for a candlelight vigil in honour of the women who have lost their lives this year to domestic and family abuse. The event helped raise awareness of the social and personal impacts of domestic and family violence and the need to work together to help support, believe and act on this epidemic. A ‘Hope’ artwork was created with community messages written on the leaves of a tree, reminding us that through collective efforts we can create a safe community together.
