NSLHD Chief Executive Anthony Schembri wasted no time in hitting the ground running in his new role, starting his first day with a visit to where his career in health management started – the RNSH social work department.

Anthony has an extensive background in social work and joined the department in 1998 as a manager of a team of three social workers.

It was the first promotion Anthony had received in health and he still has very fond memories of his time at RNSH.

“Social workers play a big role in helping our patients, their families and carers at a very vulnerable time,” he said.
