Description

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Prof Áine Carroll joins Marie Kilduff to reflect on how her mother’s final months shaped her understanding of what integrated healthcare should truly be.



Despite decades of professional leadership in integrated care, Áine found herself navigating a fragmented system that left her feeling powerless as a daughter advocating for her mum. That experience intensified her long-standing commitment to person-centred, coordinated care and exposed the gaps that so many families still face.



Together, Marie Kilduff and Prof Carroll explore:



  • What happens when care isn’t joined up, even for those who understand the system
  • The barriers that continue to block progress, from siloed services to poor communication and digital limitations
  • Why leadership in a complex adaptive system must evolve
  • The role of data, partnership, and meaningful relationships in driving improvement
  • How the International Foundation for Integrated Care (IFIC) supports global learning through the Nine Pillars
  • Why hope, action, and collective responsibility are central to making real change.
