It Takes Heart is a podcast about connection at the centre of Australian healthcare. Each episode brings together nurses, doctors, allied health professionals, leaders and changemakers to share real stories from their work, their communities and the healthcare system they navigate every day. From moments of purpose and pride to challenge and growth, these conversations explore the realities of caring for others and the people behind the profession. Co-hosted by cmr’s Samantha Miklos and Kate Coomber, It Takes Heart offers honest, human conversations that reflect the heart of the healthcare community and the difference it makes, often in ways that aren’t always seen or heard.
