Episode Synopsis

In this episode, host Sami Glastonbury speaks with Mark Edmonds, Education Project Coordinator at HeartKids, about the power of co-design and education in transforming care for people living with childhood-onset heart disease. Mark shares how his background in neurophysiology and teaching has shaped his approach to developing national education modules for healthcare professionals, ensuring care is holistic, evidence-based, and grounded in lived experience. Together, they explore how education is helping clinicians across Australia better understand the complexities of lifelong heart conditions, strengthen communication and mental health awareness, and ultimately improve outcomes for families.HEARTKIDSFrom The Heart is brought to you by HeartKids, the only national not-for-profit solely focused on supporting and advocating for people affected by childhood-onset heart disease.For support, information or guidance on your CoHD journey, call the HeartKids Helpline on 1800 432 785 or visit the website at https://www.heartkids.org.auCOPYRIGHTAll content on this podcast is subject to copyright and may not be reproduced, repurposed, republished, or copied, in any form, without permission.Repurposing or republishing content from this podcast, even with credit and acknowledgement to the creators, host, and guest, does not provide an exemption to this copyright.CREDITSHost: Sami GlastonburyGuest: Mark EdmondsProducer: Becky Oakley
