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

So amazing to see you @ProgrammeSpark @heffernan_c1 and to chat about StrokeLINK service, co-designed tools and to show you our new website (coming very soon to patients and family members). Exciting times ahead @MaterStroke @MaterTransform

@DrSeanPTeeling @LeanMater @MarieMcGroarty @VKMaterLean @MichelleMcG9 @AileenIgoe What an incredible space for an incredible event. Looking forward !!

Huge shoutout to @ERowan13 who initially spotted the challenge and co-designed the solution of the Big ID ‘add on’ card, that was inducted with NCHDs today.

[Alan MacFarlane Design @AlanMacDesign]

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.

Absolutly critical moment was collaborating with @NCAD_Dublin in 2016- Siobhan Manning explaining how @MaterTransform grew and brought design into their service. 🤩😍
