DiepCJourney Podcast

We are kicking off Season 2 with Episode 1 of the DiepCJourney podcast with Dr. Joe Dusseldorp, an internationally trained microsurgeon who performs DIEP flap breast reconstruction in Sydney, Australia. I first listened to Dr. Dusseldorp in his inspiring TEDx talk entitled, "Personalizing medicine - how technology is making the incurable curable". His passion for patient outcomes is apparent in this interview as he describes his work and how breast reconstruction awareness in Australia has become an important part of his mission.

As we wrap up season 1 of the DiepCJourney podcast for 2021, we look back to our most downloaded episode with guest Minas Chrysopoulo, MD, FACS discussing the value of ERAS (Enhanced Recovery after Surgery) protocol. This is a powerful discussion about ERAS and how it is used across other healthcare specialties to shorten hospital stay, requiring less narcotics, and improve recovery for patients. This is definitely worth listening to again, or downloading to empower patients considering breast reconstruction surgery or for those who might be having another surgery.

As we come to the end of the first season of the DiepCJourney podcast, I am honored to interview my guest, Gareth Presch. Gareth is a global healthcare thought leader and the Founder and CEO of the World Health Innovation Summit. He is the Expert Lead on SDG3/4 for the UNGSII Foundation, Founder of the Global Social Prescribing Alliance, and a Member of Pope Francis's Vatican COVID19 Commission Group 2 Looking to the Future. We discuss building communities of trust in the healthcare sector promoting consistent, patient-centered care through implementation of SDG3, Good Health and Well-Being.
