Ryde Newsletter - Dec 2023

Welcome To Ryde Hospital Video

The NORTH Foundation have awarded the Safety & Quality Unit a funding grant of $10,000 to undertake a "Welcome to Ryde Hospi- tal" video project. The video will provide general information for patients, carers and visitors to Ryde Hospital which ideally will be translated into the key languages spoken in the LGA. This will include the sharing of My Healthcare Rights and promoting an inclusive environment within the hospital where all individuals (patients, carers, visitors and staff) feel safe to be themselves regardless of their Gender, Sexuality, Ethnicity, Religion, Disability or Cultural beliefs.

Ryde Hospital are very appreciative of this donation.
