General Manager’s Message Thank you for the warm welcome to Ryde Hospital. It has been a privilege to join you all and witness the vibrant spirit and experience Ryde Hospital’s sense of community I have heard so much about. This month I had the honour of participating in several events, including Remembrance Day, Peri-Operative Nurses Week, and the Gathering of Kindness. These moments have highlighted the strength, compassion and commitment within our community. We are excited to welcome Katja Sherwin as our new Director of Nursing and Midwifery on 19 December. A sincere thank you to Rachel Anderson for her outstanding leadership in the interim and to Victoria Stockdale for her excellent support as Acting Operations Nurse Manager.
A special congratulations to Simpy Arora for being a finalist at the NSW Excellence in Nursing & Midwifery Awards. This recognition reflects the outstanding work done here at Ryde Hospital. This week we also marked a significant milestone with Short Notice Accreditation Assessment taking place. I thank everyone for your hard work in preparing for and participating in this process. Your teamwork and dedication truly reflect the values of Ryde Hospital. As my time as Acting General Manager comes to an end this week, I want to thank you all for the support and kindness you’ve shown me during my time here. It has been a privilege to work alongside such a dedicated and remarkable team and I look forward to seeing Ryde Hospital continue to achieve great success in the future.
