NSLHD IN 2027 (continued)
Research and innovation underpin the delivery of safe, high quality healthcare and improved experiences for patients, carers and staff. Research in all its forms is recognised as a core part of everyone’s role with outcomes used to inform patient care, models of care and innovative practice. Research is undertaken in partnership with patients, carers, consumers, industry, research organisations and key pillar organisations with an emphasis on translation into best practice healthcare. Ongoing partnerships with Sydney Health Partners and the Kolling Institute as well as the development of the St Leonards Health, Research and Education Precinct are key components of this approach. The philanthropic fundraising by the NORTH Foundation provides valuable support for these initiatives. The completion of the redevelopment of Ryde Hospital in 2026 has transformed the delivery of healthcare for the Ryde local community, ensuring that people access the care they need close to home. The redevelopment sees the preservation of the historic Denistone House, alongside new and enhanced health facilities and services including emergency, critical care, inpatient, community and ambulatory care services, with expertise in rehabilitation services through the Graythwaite Rehabilitation Centre.
The redevelopment strengthens the networking of services across our hospitals and provides increased service capability and capacity for inpatient and ambulatory care enabling patients to access a greater range of services closer to home. The new hospital is NSW’s first 100 per cent electric hospital including all building services and systems, hot water, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and cooking facilities. The hospital design incorporates comprehensive waste management facilities, enhanced open space, and renewable onsite energy. Planetary health remains a priority and has strong staff engagement across NSLHD. There has been significant progress toward achieving our commitment to Net Zero carbon emissions by 2035. There is green space across all our hospitals and services, solar panels are in place and utility usage and waste generation have been reduced. Initiatives have extended to clinical and non-clinical processes to reduce waste through low-value care and inefficient systems and processes. All new capital works developments are environmentally sustainable and contribute to our goal of Net Zero carbon emissions by 2035.
