    Emma Steele – EMR Change Manager (acting) 

    Coffee of choice: Magic (but I’ll take whatever the coffee machine in the office spits out) 

    I’m watching/listening to: ‘How other Dads Dad’ podcast with Hamish Blake. I’m not a Dad, but there are some great parenting insights in there. 

    Secret skill: I can play the bagpipes! 

    When I’m not managing change, you’ll find me: playing water polo and hanging with my friends and family. 

    What I love about my job: Being part of Western Health’s largest ever Digital Health project and bringing all Western Health staff on that journey.
