On the previous episode we welcomed Dr. Glyes Morrison, a medical doctor turned clinical user experience strategist and his insight and knowledge was invaluable.

There were a few topics which we didn't get to discuss, Glyes is kindly joining us for another episode, where we shine a light on the intricate link between racism, prejudice and healthcare. We confront the complex challenges involved and underscore the vital necessity for diversity in the teams that are tasked with designing universally beneficial products and services.

Together, we explore the profound impact of conscious efforts towards inclusive design, a journey that promises improved outcomes for all.

What if the design of hospital spaces could influence a patient’s recovery journey?

Ever thought about how the aesthetic appeal of healthcare environments can create emotional connections and trust between patients and healthcare providers?

In this Collection episode, we look at the intriguing exploration of these concepts as we're joined by Graphic Designer Jack Trotman, Louisa Williams and Martin Jones who each share their insights on how design impacts our lives, how it can be improved within the healthcare sector and why everyone is a designer in their own right - often making design decisions unknowingly.

While the doctors' strikes are addressing systemic changes that are much needed to improve pay and treatment, this episode talks about how we as individuals can take care of our mental health and wellbeing by leaning into creativity.

I share things I've learned since leaving medicine to become a designer that would have helped me cope with the challenges of being a doctor.

Mary Oladele is a therapeutic radiographer and founder CEO of Cancer Education UK. She started the charity when she saw that many people from Black, Asian, minority ethnic and refugee (BAMER) communities were seeking help late because of the stigma of cancer.

Mary is very honest about figuring it out as she goes along. This episode is a reminder that having a passion for helping people is the only qualification you need to get started.

Listen to this conversation to hear about:

• Solving complex social issues at the grassroots level and the realities of running a charity
