All aspects of a health service need to be operational for 7 day working to be effective ....

What an absolutely disgraceful miscarriage of justice. Our family knows how this feels. God rest Joe Drennan, a wonderful soul full of promise who's life was taken needlessly. My heart goes out to his family....there is no pain like it. https://t.co/7WeL4ZwB1I

Very sad.
@WHO confirms that a 10-month-old baby in #Gaza is now paralysed due to #Polio. The first case in more than 25 years.

Polio will not make the distinction between Palestinian & Israeli children.
Delaying a humanitarian pause will increase the risk of spread among children.

It is not enough to bring the vaccines into Gaza + protect the cold chain. To have an impact, the vaccines must end up in the mouths of every child under the age of 10.

@UNRWA medical teams will deliver the vaccines in our clinics and through our mobile health teams.
Since the war began and with thx to these efforts, 80% of children across Gaza have received vaccines against different childhood diseases.

We will continue.

This is Prof Ronan Collins @ronancollins7 (National Clinical Lead Stroke) scathing criticism of Dept of Health/@HSELive treatment of 850,000 people in Ireland living with neurology/neurodegenerative conditions and the moratorium on recruitment …

@AhpsBarnsley @YvonneCYoung @BrianwDolan @betterageing @EndPJparalysis It’s a pity that space has become a premium in hospitals and has therefore eroded common spaces like day rooms/seating alcoves etc that patients once readily got up and went to, were a great social outlet also

@mariejacork @EvelynHannon @ahernemer @brosnansinead1 @Murray_Connolly hopeful a POPS service can come to CUH in the future,think the impact would be really far reaching...

[Prof Scarlett McNally @scarlettmcnally]

Fantastic to hear from the amazing @JKDhesi, giving her inaugural Professorial lecture @KingsCollegeLon. On POPS (Perioperative Care of Older People undergoing Surgery = better care + reduces length of stay 40%). It's lovely to work with you @CPOC_News!

[Irwin Gill @IrwinGill]

The HSE recruitment embargo is now seriously affecting healthcare professionals' ability to deliver safe services. A short-sighted decision that needs to be reversed as soon as possible.
