Great to promote our Muma Postnatal hub on the local radio today. Easy to do when the team are providing such a good service to new parents in Carlow Kilkenny

So proud, our StrokeLINK team won @LeanMater prize for Best Process or Service Innovation in healthcare award at Lean Symposium. This work wouldn’t be possible without the incredible StrokeLINK nurses, @MaterStroke MDT and the super support from @MaterTransform and @NCAD_Dublin

Exciting to see the Big IDea staff ID project scale at this mornings NCHD induction to most specialities at the Mater Hospital. This design enables healthcare professionals to see who is who, at a glance. The initiative has been co-designed with our healthcare workers.

In October 2018, As part of my MA @ixd_ncad, I partook Mater - NCAD design week. 4 years later, I am working with @MaterTransformation, guiding @ixd_ncad @MSc_MDD_NCAD design students at Design Week 2022; who are designing for 8 challenges brought forward by healthcare staff.
ALT Dehlia and Fíona talking with nurse about the challenges with current nursing assessment forms.
ALT Medication that is housed in Cardiac Arrest Trolley.
ALT Lutetium-psma therapy to help treat prostate cancer involves administering radioactive medicine to the patient. Quintain, Mo and Leah are exploring how they can design an educational tool for patients, family and anyone who is in close contact with the patient so that know how to protect each other whilst spending moments together.

A huge amount of works gone into this. A delight to see Living well, a resource book and healthcare tool for @MaterStroke, Strokelink and most importantly our patients printed professionally in its intended form. #designforhealth #healthcare what a moment !
