#029: Putting the humanity back into healthcare : Resilience, agility and focusing on what sparks joy
This week I spoke to Rachael Griffin. Racheal is a breast cancer survivor of 11 years, and now a passionate advocate. She works in R and D in the pharmaceutical industry and is trying to invoke change, and give patients a voice from inside the industry.
She also is working as a volunteer with NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) helping review and re-write their breast cancer guidelines. A proud mum to an amazing 6 year old called Elliot and lives with her partner Marc and 13 year old cat Bobby.
What you’ll hear about:
Building resilience after grief
Being willing to change your plans
Developing mental gymnastics
Finding those things that spark joy
The amazing wonder of your body
Know me not my cancer
Understanding everyone’s journey and needs are different
