A/General Manager’s Message A highlight of this month was having the honour of presenting and celebrating the time in service awards with the wonderful staff at Ryde who have provided so many years of dedication to Ryde. We also saw the opening of the interim multi-faith room, the interim loading dock and the interim kitchen. These are some of the final moves for corporate services before demolition and construction can begin for the new Ryde hospital. We continued to celebrate the diversity of the Ryde community with Harmony day celebrations on the 21 st of March. Next month we will hold our annual ANZAC Day service. Details will be available soon.
We welcomed Jenny McConnell back to Ryde Hospital at the end of the month, as the Acting GM whilst Heather is away. I would like to thank you all for your support whilst I have been covering the GM role in between Heather and Jenny as well. The Chief Executive, Anthony Schembri and members of the Board, including the chair Trevor Danos, visited Ryde this month to present Ryde Hospital Executive with the hospital’s hard earned Accreditation Certificate. Thank you to all staff for your ongoing support and dedication to provide best care to our consumers.
