"I was on the project team as services manager for STARS from concept, to delivery and handover in November 2020. I never thought I would end up here as a patient following the discovery of a clot, twice, which led to a stroke and terrible seizures. I was so excited to go to STARS, I knew what this place was going to be like, and I know my way around. I am proud to be back here and seeing it being used the way we envisioned it."

Great facility and equally great staff has given me a recovery I thought would never happen. Thanks to everyone who had an input in getting me back
Well done Colin! You’ve been great company for us and Matt and we wish you well.
