08.01.2022 CHRISTMAS WITH DIGNITY | It may only be November, but there is a good reason a Christmas tree adorned with purple decorations has sprung up at Ryde Hospital. As part of Northern Sydney Local Health District’s workplace giving partnership with homelessness and crisis support charity Dignity, staff and the public are being encouraged to donate non-perishable food items as well as new clothes, socks and undies as part of the #ChristmasWithDignity campaign. The campaign is running for its second year and supports those who may be experiencing homelessness during the festive season. If you would like to donate items this Christmas, you can drop your items beneath the tree inside the main entry at Ryde Hospital. For more details, see the flyer in this post.

08.01.2022 SUPPORTIVE CARE | For Vincenzo Tassone, his independence has always been important and he wasn’t going to let something like heart failure keep him off his feet for too long. The former Willoughby fruit shop owner has benefited from working with Cardiac Supportive Care Transitional Nurse Practitioner Kelly Hanvey, allowing him to live at home with his wife Barbara at his side and avoid hospital. In the five short months since commencing in the role Kelly has already seen bene...fits for patients like Vincenzo and countless others. I’m here to help create that bridge between cardiology and palliative care, Kelly said. Linking with Ryde Hospital, Royal North Shore Hospital, and Hornsby Hospital. Kelly has developed a simple aim; starting the journey earlier to help make it easier. We’re hoping to improve quality of life and symptom control for patients. We’re also hoping to reduce readmission rates into hospital and avoidance of ICU, develop collaborative and integrated services she said. It’s not about end of life care, it’s about supportive care and it should start at an earlier phase of the patient journey. See more

04.01.2022 REMEMBRANCE DAY - Today, is Remembrance Day, a day where we come together to remember those who have died or suffered for Australia’s cause in all wars and armed conflicts. Historically, the day marks the time at 11 am on 11 November 1918 when the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare during World War I. More than 100 years on, we are not without our own challenges, but we still owe a great deal to those who fought bravely for Australia. It is important we acknowledge those contributions so the memories of those that have fallen live on for generations to come. #lestweforget2020
