Myself and Sarah connected through a mutual desire to create a service to reward the incredible nurses, alongside the incredibly talented Amy Huberman in Ireland - and the 3 of us are working on a project at the moment called Thank You Nurses. More on that later in this episode.In this episode you will hear the real life stories from Sarah of what life is and was life during the global pandemic, how hard these incredible people work. I wanted to shine a light on this area of society, where the work we do as system and service designers has an direct relationship often with life and death -I don’t say this lightly, but Sarah is one of my heroes. They all are. I know you’re going to love this episode.https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-kearns-5b99361a2/https://handsonhealth.ieCreators & Guests Gerry Scullion - Host Stef Murphy - Producer Like what we do?

Jo sent me an article that they wrote a while ago about persona’s, and it was so good that I thought we should do an episode to dig into it a little deeper. Jo’s one of my favourite people and designers and is a great brain, and heavily involved in the co-design space.Creators & Guests Gerry Scullion - Host Stef Murphy - Producer Like what we do?

I gave an example of a 2021 survey which found that 63% of data center managers thought “there is no business justification for collecting water usage data.”Yes, thought there are laws coming from the EU that should change that attitude.Creators & Guests Gerry Scullion - Host Stef Murphy - Producer Like what we do?

Helana has a doctorate in Sociology and is the author of the book ‘Redoing Gender: How Nonbinary Gender Contributes toward Social Change’.We connected recently on LinkedIn about a series of posts that Helana made about the affect that businesses can put on people to train outside of work hours.
