What a day.....✨ On Wednesday, healthcare staff, designers, and academics from across the country gathered to listen, learn, share their innovation journeys and projects, and build connections. What did everyone there have in common? An openness to share, a willingness to listen, and a deep-seated passion to improve and make healthcare better for their patients, with the patient voice at the centre of everything they do. Human-centered design resonated strongly throughout all the projects and teams, as they worked tirelessly to ensure that their innovations were not just creative solutions, but ones that genuinely improve the lives of those they serve. We were truly inspired by the creativity and collaboration that has the potential to transform our health service for the better. The HSE Spark Innovation Programme were proud to provide this space where this shared learning and connections could grow and develop. Our whole team was buzzing after the day! Thank you to everyone who participated, contributed, and continues to drive innovation in healthcare. Your passion and commitment are making a real difference, and we are so proud to be part of this journey with you. 💙 #HealthcareInnovation #HSESpark #Sharedlearning #Collaboration #PatientCenteredCare #HumanCenteredDesign HSE Spark Innovation Programme Jared Gormly Caitriona Heffernan Dermot Burke Michelle Howard Catherine Marsh Emily Wallace Muthu Thangaramanujam Eve Stanley Alanna Allen Siobhan Power Claire McElvanna (Brennan) Better Public Services National Doctors Training & Planning (NDTP) National Health & Social Care Professions Office (NHSCPO)
