Description

In this episode of Transform Gov, host Maeve Kneafsey continues her conversation with Damien McCallion, Deputy CEO and Chief Technology & Transformation Officer at the HSE, to explore how a national health system is embracing digital — not just with ambition, but with action.

Damien shares the inside story of:

  • How over 50,000 staff hours have already been saved through automation
  • Why the seven-year Electronic Health Record programme is built to survive turbulence
  • How AI is now detecting fractures faster than ever in Irish hospitals
  • What lessons every public sector CIO and digital leader can learn from the HSE’s transformation playbook
  • The secret to embedding a culture of digital safety across massive frontline teams

If you’re leading change in government — in health, education, justice or beyond — or supplying technology into the public sector, this episode is packed with practical insight, scalable ideas, and real-world results.

🎙️ Listen now to discover what’s working — and what’s next.
