The people destroying Dublin city centre talk up what it means to be "patriotic", all while the non-Irish healthcare staff work around the clock since this afternoon to respond to today's tragedy

[National Office of Clinical Audit @noca_irl]

Dr Michael O'Connor, National Clinical Advisor and Group Lead, HSE Acute Operations speaks now and states the need to improve access times to ICU, particularly that 50% of patients should be admitted within 1 hour of a decision to admit. This is only 6% of patients currently.

Focus also needs to be placed on delayed discharges from ICU, accounting for 1,515 patients delayed more than 24 hours. This causes issues for access for patients who need an ICU bed. #INICUA2023

AMAX4 | Just a routine resuscitation
I had a severe bronchospasm anaphylaxis 2 days ago.
I gave adrenaline within 2 minutes and intubated within 5 minutes.
I had done an @ANZCA Anaphylaxis workshop and it saved this persons life. https://t.co/o4GF0mjkDU

[Simon Carley @EMManchester]
