General Manager’s Message It’s been a red -letter month at Ryde, with celebrations for Administration Professionals Day, International Nurses Day and culminating in the 90th Birthday of Ryde Hospital. It was a heartfelt ceremony, and it was lovely to see so many former staff members return for the day. Congratulations to all of our award winners from Ryde – it is the people who make the hospital what it is, and the award winders are wonderful examples of this. As part of the redevelopment changes, this month Health Information Services will relocate to Macquarie Hospital, Cardiac Rehabilitation to RNSH and CDCRS across a range of LHD locations. Thank you to all the teams who are going through this change. We look forward to welcoming you back to the campus in 2027.
