44. Julie Quade on Leading Stronger Healthcare Teams

What does great healthcare leadership look like when teams are stretched, resources are tight, and patient care is always the priority? In this thoughtful conversation, Julie Quade, trained dietitian and Allied Health Manager for Northern New South Wales Health, shares how her rural upbringing and early career in allied health shaped her approach to leadership. Julie reflects on the shift from supporting patients one-on-one to influencing care at scale by growing strong teams, creating psychologically safe workplaces, and helping clinicians stay focused on the patient in front of them. This episode is for healthcare leaders, emerging managers, allied health professionals, and anyone who wants to better understand how calm, people-first healthcare leadership can make a meaningful difference for clinicians, teams, and the communities they care for.Julie's organisation of choice is Angel Flight, a charitable organisation coordinating free, non-emergency flights and ground transportation so people who live in rural and regional Australia can access the specialist medical treatments they need.It Takes Heart is hosted by cmr’s Samantha Miklos and Kate Coomber and recorded at cmr’s head office in Brisbane.We Care; Music by Waveney YassoGet to know It Takes Heart & cmr better!
