Working Life: Suzanne Garvey, director, hospital operations, Beacon Hospital

Home is just seven minutes from the hospital in Sandyford, so with no real commute to speak of, I’m at my desk by 7am, with a ‘dashboard of activity’ ready to go by 7.30am. The dashboard maps out the day’s workload and workflow from a clinical perspective and is key to ensuring that our elective programme runs smoothly. When patients are booked in for procedures, we want to make sure they go ahead. .
