It has been a long journey for the Ryde Hospital Redevelopment, and we are still only at the beginning! Since the project announcement in May 2019 there has been consultation around many aspects; location, the hospital’s clinical service plan, design and history. Just to name a few. Following an Expression of Interest application process in late 2021, the Ryde Hospital Redevelopment Consumer Reference Group (CRG) was established, forming a partnership between the project team and the community. Throughout 2022 the group has contributed to the design of the redevelopment by providing input on a range of aspects of the project including wayfinding, public waiting areas, patient experience and landscaping. The group will continue to meet in 2023 to continue their work. In this video, CRG member and long-time Ryde resident Warren Smith talks about his involvement in the project, the redevelopment process and what he is most excited for with the new Ryde Hospital.
