General Manager’s Message
The end of 2024 has come around very quickly and what a significant year it has been at for all of us who work at Ryde Hospital. The last month included: • An outstanding success in the Short Notice Assessment for Accreditation against the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards (NSQHSS). All criteria met and no recommendations – you cannot get better than that! Thank you to everyone throughout the Hospital for your contribution to this outstanding result • Significant moves around the site to progress the redevelopment including Ward 3 to Ward 6 and Ward 2 to Ward 5, all have which have gone very smoothly thanks to everyone working as a team and the Redevelopment leadership
• A very well attended staff BBQ supported by AW Edwards and our engineering team
• Great participation in the annual Tinsel Trophy There have been a few staff changes and we are delighted to welcome Tash Hendy as the Acting Site Operations Manager and Kat Schwerin as the Director of Nursing and Midwifery among others. My sincere thanks to Rachel Anderson Acting DONM and Victoria Stockdale Acting ONM for their hard work throughout 2024. Sadly we also say farewell to some people and in particular I would like to recognise our own Rado Nikic who is looking forward to a very well deserved retirement. Thank you Rado for everything you have done for Ryde Hospital and across NSLHD and for always being the perfect gentleman. We will miss you enormously. Finally I would like to thank each of you for your hard work and commitment to Ryde Hospital. The high-quality care you provide throughout the organisation and the commitment to patients always makes Ryde the great place it is to work. Happy Holidays to everyone wherever you may be.
