Background

About Aileen Igoe

Originally an architect, Aileen first entered the world of healthcare in 2011 when she was working with a design firm on a major hospital development at the Mater Hospital. She quickly became interested in the interdependence between spatial design and work systems. Recognising the potential in this space, Aileen undertook advanced studies in process engineering with further training in innovation and leadership in healthcare. She spent the next ten years working with teams to deeply understand and fundamentally reconfigure systems and services in the healthcare sector. In her current role as Lean and System Redesign Lead, she applies a systems and process lens to Mater Transformation's improvement work and uses her years of design experience to bring about sustainable, workable solutions that have the user at heart. As an adjunct associate professor at UCD Health Systems, Aileen teaches and mentors on the Mater Lean Academy process improvement programmes.
