The Occupational Therapy Department at Ryde, Graythwaite Rehab Centre and CAReS support patients, families and carers in the hospital and community. The team partners with patients to achieve their personal goals, by ena- bling independence in everyday activi- ties and identifying the equipment and supports they need. NSLHD Chief Executive, Anthony Schembri visited Ryde for OT week celebration on 24th October.
