Ryde Shines: Staff & Service Wins

GET SMART!

In July 2023, two Occupational Therapists, as part of the wider Allied Health team at Ryde, were successful in receiving a grant for $10, 000 from the North Foundation to purchase a Smart Car for the Ryde site. The Car will provide an option for patients to practice the practical skill of being able to get in and out of a car as part of their therapy programme.

Last week our Smart Car finally arrived at its final destination in the Graythwaite Rehab Centre Outdoor Therapy Garden space.

It’s been a great example of how the Ryde Hospital team works together and a big thanks extends to Engineering for ensuring this was practically possible! Further funding was also received to upgrade the Outdoor Therapy Garden – coming soon!

We are launching a “Name the Smart Car competition” encouraging patients, families and staff to take part! Use the QR code to register your Smart Car name
