SUMMARY:Doing Work That Matters - UX NS Meetup
DESCRIPTION:Details\n\n\n\n\n\nUX NS is excited to welcome Barb Spanton to this month’s meetup! \nThere’s a quiet shift happening in the industry. UX professionals are drawn to work that genuinely helps people – work that aims to make a difference and solve real problems. For many\, that path leads to healthcare products and services. Then reality hits. \nDoing meaningful work in healthcare is hard. Progress is slow. Regulation is heavy. Legacy systems\, complex integrations\, and high stakes are the norm. Meanwhile\, fast-moving startups promise higher pay\, shinier titles\, and the thrill of “moving fast and breaking things.” \nThis talk looks beyond the idealized idea of “meaningful work” and into the lived reality of creating impact in complex\, highly regulated domains. \nWith Barb Spanton\, this session will explore what impact really means in healthcare\, why it’s often underestimated\, and how professionals can find purpose\, progress\, and influence—even when the work is anything but glamorous. \nJoin UX NS for an engaging and thought-provoking evening. Snacks and drinks will be served. \nAgenda\n7:00 PM Doors open\, networking time\, snacks and drinks\n7:15 PM Introductions from the event hosts\, Nata and Ruby\n7:20 PM Doing Work That Matters with Barb Spanton\n7:50 PM Q&A\n8:15 PM Networking and wrap-up\n8:45 PM Doors close \nSpeaker Bio\nBarb is a UX leader with over 25 years of experience designing and delivering products in complex\, highly regulated domains\, primarily healthcare. Her work has been shaped by a belief that doing meaningful work—especially work that impacts patients and clinicians—is both deeply challenging and deeply rewarding. \nShe currently leads UX for Siemens Healthineers\, where she supports a global team building the next generation of oncology care solutions while advancing UX maturity across the organization. Barb has been an active voice in the UX community\, speaking and organizing events at the intersection of design and healthcare\, and is passionate about mentoring designers to thrive and have an impact in complex\, real-world environments. \nHow to find the event at Siemens Healthineers (1675 Grafton St. Suite 400\, Halifax\, Nova Scotia)\nEnter through the doors at the North Tower of the Nova Centre (Beside BMO) and head to the fourth floor via the elevators. \nAcknowledgements\nThank you enormously to Siemens Healthineers for sharing their space. Thank you to Digital Nova Scotia for their sponsorship of UX NS. \nSupport us\nUX NS are solely volunteer-run and always looking for sponsors.
