    S6E3: #HerHeartMatters

    We really have the Irish Heart Foundation's #HerHeartMatters campaign to thank for this month's theme, and as we heard on last week's case and the fascinating discussion, is one well worth our time considering.


    Following on from that, Mohammed had the opportunity and privilege to sit down with the incredible Pauline O'Shea, a SCAD survivor and now an advocacy campaign manager with the Irish Heart Foundation.


    What a powerful patient voice. Essential listening.
