Antenatal clinic write to GP to start antibiotics sending on an MSU result done in OP. GP receives letter 2 weeks later. Pt already in hospital with pyelonephritis. Action. Your. Own. Results.

When the US Govt. broke the news that smoking causes cancer, every cigarette brand saw their sales drop instantly overnight

.A plea to chemists: If a medicine unavailable can u please advise what is available as an alternative for all issues - i am on second option not available for Rx Scabies - i am not a soothsayer

@fmcomment Doctors are leaving due to working conditions that no other profession faces such as 24 hr shifts with no breaks, unpaid overtime, incorrect or late pay.

But instead of actually wanting to fix the problems above, Frank’s solution is to punish doctors more 🙄

[Jackie O’Connell @JackieMeath]

Medical Card “cull” time again.

4 patients over 70 years had full Medical Cards made “invalid” today by @HSELive & have not been issued with GP Visit Cards which they are entitled to.
Access to necessary meds gone.

@BlathnaidOC @NDTP_HSE @RCPI_news @RCSI_Irl @irishthoracicS @HIHIreland Great to see so many well known Cardiologists in Ireland giving specialist cardiology lectures on the HospitalBuddy free education platform; great free resource for any doctor planning for membership exams!

[ILFA Ireland @ILFA_Ireland]

There is an urgent need for a dedicated lung health/respiratory strategy in Ireland, investment in respiratory resources & personnel, & healthcare equity with other serious chronic conditions.

[Alpha-1 Foundation Ireland @Alpha1_Ireland]

Primary prevention of #lung disease must include increased testing for #Alpha1. 250,000 people with #Alpha1 on island of Ireland at risk of #COPD if smoking. Smokers with severe #Alpha1 at high risk of dying young #SeeCOPDthinkAlpha1 #Alpha1Awareness

Signed off on my respiratory and general medicine higher specialist training today by @RCPIreland. Thoughts: wouldn't describe any of it as 'low intensity'. Ireland has many world-class doctors. Registrars are the backbone of our hospitals #medregoncall

[GOLD COPD @GOLD_COPD]

The new GOLD 2020 app is now available for download! We hope this easy to use resource continues to help clinicians in their management of patients with COPD!
