EMPOWERcast - refreshingly honest conversations with women in healthcare procurement and supply chain

The HCSA Women’s Network Podcast series hosted by Capsticks 

Welcome to the HCSA Women’s Network Podcast series with Mary Mundy, Deputy Head of Healthcare at Capsticks, proud sponsors of the HCSA Women's Network. 

Bringing women together from NHS Procurement, Supply Chain and other sectors to share experiences from personal and professional viewpoints, the EMPOWERcast series aims to uplift, educate, and inspire.

Each episode will focus on a topic where honest conversations really do make a difference to everyone – breaking down barriers, improving awareness and encouraging positive change.

Mary will be joined by some remarkable guests throughout the series, so please join us, tune in and feel empowered!

In episode 3, Mary is joined by Rachael Ellis, Scan4Safety Programme Director at Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. As well as sharing aspects of her current role, Rachael describes how she has overcome barriers in order to pursue her career ambitions.

We hear how Rachael has drawn upon positive and negative experiences to shape and influence those around her, particularly when it comes to behaviours, finding allyship and inspiring others to be ambitious.

Passionate about the written word, Rachael provides listeners with a unique take on ‘empowerment’ and what it means to her.

The Empowercast features honest conversations and the sharing of experiences, and we hope you enjoy and benefit from the words of wisdom shared in this episode.
