General Manager’s Message It is with some sadness that I write my final update as General Manager. Ryde Hospital is truly special in the way that staff care for each other, and in doing that, care for our patients. Over the last 18 months I have learned so much from working with you all. Heather Gough is returning to her substantive role of General Manager from Tuesday 8 October. Bronwyn Nolan is acting GM in the interim period. As you move forward into accreditation and the redevelopment, the skills and passion of the staff will put you in an excellent place to meet these challenges.
Accreditation Countdown Ryde is expecting SNAP accreditation to happen sometime in the coming weeks. Thank you for all your effort preparing for this. Ryde provides an excellent service and now is the time to reflect and recognise the hard work, dedication, commitment and passion that makes this happen. Remember: • Highlight your achievements, big and small - be proud of your successes. • Be confident in your knowledge • Talk about your role, what you do and how you do it • Clarify what you are being asked if you are unsure, • If you are asked about something you don’t know about - talk about how you would find out the information Good luck with your assessor visits , and if you have any questions or concerns either before or during the visit please speak with your manager, quality and risk manager and executive team.
