As 2024 closes, so does our pilot on POC blood testing. What a year & what a success for ACP in NAS! Thank you to everyone who has supported us. We're delighted to have achieved so much-with added integration of local cardiac team to avoid ED admissions. Now, lets gets writing!🥳

@HSEchange_guide @baker_ross @frances_horgan, @RCSI_Physio consistent messaging from Mary and your stakeholder analysis on the development of the Pathfinder model. Learn as you do and facilitate enablers for future success

[Health Services Change Guide @HSEchange_guide]

Many interesting insights from the SIG topic on Leadership for Integrated Care hosted by JP Harnett.

@baker_ross speaking on the opportunities to gain insights on what is required for Leadership for Integrated Care. What works for people, what are their challenges and obstacles. This research can ideally happen in parallel to creating integrated services-lets learn as we do.

Strong messages around the need to properly invest in Leadership for integration through communities of practice, mentoring/coaching and skills development.

Key message: there are new competences required for Leadership in Healthcare and we need to resource this sooner rather than later.

On behalf of everyone in @AmbulanceNAS, a big thank you to @lawrence_kenna for all of his hard work in the development of Pathfinder nationwide. We wish him every success as he leaves NAS for a second time and returns to college to study caring for older people. Thank you. 👌
