This was an idea Tara had and brought this to the attention of the senior and practice education teams. Since coming up with the idea, Tara has worked to complete this – often in her own time. She has a huge commitment and passion for the department. She has some excellent ideas and strives to better herself and the department every day she works. She has also worked on new signage within the department to give children and their families a better experience and has made some picture signs/aids for those children that may be non-verbal to help communicate their needs/wishes. Tara certainly deserves this recognition for all her hard work and dedication.
