The A5 is one of the most important infrastructure projects on this island by any measure. It has the potential to save lives, prevent needless tragedies and connect communities in the North West to Dublin. So disappointed for people who have lost loved ones on that road today.
Red Bull’s talk of their “duty of care” is laughable. You either believe in the driver you’ve signed and give them support or you don’t. They’ve played fast and loose with driver careers for decades but this is a new low. 2 races is insane. Good luck Yuki. You’re gonna need it.
Jody Gormley died this evening. Life is so unfair. I hope his family can take some comfort, in knowing that he was stunning human being.
He was the best of us❤️
It was a pleasure to have Permanent Secretary Peter May @healthdpt at our Graduation for Foundation Degree in Paramedic Practice tonight at Ulster University.
@georgebellstarr We got no hospital placements on our FdSc, covid was the reason they were cut short for previous cohorts but they never resumed. I’d have loved some time in cardiology and theatres but it couldn’t happen sadly.
So this is all highly complicated, nuanced, context-dependent stuff.
Summary:
a) Long night shifts are bad - 10 hrs max.
b) Complex, busy environments = shorter shifts
c) Longer shifts are probably OK in stable environments where rest is permitted.
d) Type of work matters

While out on RRV today with Feargal Loughran, our Deputy Chief Executive and PPCS Director, Maxine Paterson was delighted to meet with one the Community First Responders in the Dungannon Area, Trevor Quinn.
So the encapsulated (little bit stronger) cards arrived but they’ve been printed with a larger border than expected. Selling for a fiver each (only have 15 sets) until they go, they’re great but not perfect for me! Future ones will sell for £10 due to costs of printing them
