The Mending HeArts programme takes place every Tuesday on the unit is designed to support people recovering from stroke. Through creative workshops led by professional artists, the programme offers a space for expression, connection, and emotional wellbeing during recovery.

Great day of shared learning in @ot_svuh with @rticonnect on neuromuscular electronic stimulation and how to maximise our device parameters to support and enhance OT/PT motor, sensory and functional recovery goals with our neuro population of patients! @GalStrokeUnit 💪🏋️‍♀️

@ronancollins7 @RTE_PrimeTime Thanks for your work on this Ronan. I'd add adult safeguarding legislation, as recommended by the Law Reform Commission to that list. We can't continue to rely on the Clare Doyles to speak up, staff and systems must be mandated to report..

[Prof. Ronan Collins @ronancollins7]

We need commission ( DOH/HSE,Age advocacy groups, Expert MDT in Gerontology & Nursing Home Providers)on residential care to decide our strategy to funding, models,governance, staffing,training & regulation,continuously informed by gerontological research& education
