Wow. It shows SLTs and Dietitians are so important in the care and recovery of hospitalised patients with #COVID19. It’s a pity they’re being redeployed to other areas when already severely lacking in Ireland. @DonnellyStephen @MichealMartinTD #SLT #Dietitian @trust_indi

Reality check! There's so much we don’t know about our GM 🦠 We're at huge risk of mis-interpreting & over-estimating what we know so far. That's why I don't recommend commercial microbiome tests - the science just isn't there for now.
