Farewell OT Unit Heads

At the end of July we are sadly saying goodbye to Michelle Williams and Katie Grattan Smith, our Occupational Therapy Unit Heads Michelle Williams joined Ryde Hospital in 2001 and has been leading the Occupational Thera- py Department for 20 years. She led her profession as representative on the Occupational Thera- py Council of NSW as well as Occupational Therapy advisor for the NSLHD. She also oversaw the Occupational Therapy service development at Ryde with the establishment of the equipment loan pool just one of her many achievements. She is recognised by her peers and other staff members for her client centred practice and as an exceptional leader. We wish her well in her retirement. Katie joined Ryde Hospital in 2013 as the first Occupational Therapy Team Leader in the newly opened Graythwaite Rehabilitation Centre. In her 10 year tenure she has worked enthusiastically to implement rehab models of care that maximise therapy times and patient outcomes. As Unit Head she lead team and service development for the whole department with great success. Her energy, enthusiasm and support for staff, colleagues and patients have made a real difference to Occupational Therapy at Ryde. We wish her well in her future career.
