Thanks to @Prisha_Physio for a very interesting overview of her study on the confidence and competence of newly trained Physio Emergency Oncall Staff & a comparison of dedicated training hours Vs training over a full rotation #TUHWorkingTogether#proudphysiomanager#QIDay2023
What are the differences in the confidence of physiotherapists on-call when they are trained using dedicated training hours vs those who receive a full critical care rotation? Delighted to present my findings on the matter at #ISCPConf23🤓🩺 @ElaineBarker77@icu_tuh@NinaHoldenPT
Is rehabilitation a solution to hospital discharge delays? @bmj_latest Improving rehabilitation is a potential cost effective strategy to support hospital discharges especially with an ageing population and increasing multi-morbidity https://t.co/ogD4Zi1KMc
Fantastic to see a demo of @PathfinderTUH’s day-to-day earlier today! Also fabulous to know that 55% of 500+ pathfinder call-outs were successfully treated at home and avoided the need to come to ED! @Romy_Madden@ElaineBarker77@AineOBrien8
A one woman physio show in Tallaght ICU for the remainder of the day! Not at all envious of my fellow physios enjoying the sunshine outside while I carry six bleeps! #TakingOneForTheTeam
Only one in every five adults is meeting physical activity guidelines. As practitioners, now more than ever, it’s imperative to #MakeEveryContactCount to promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles. 🏃♂️🤸♂️🏊♂️🧘 https://t.co/1s3Riifsxv
👏👏 It is so wonderful to see Sinead Gill being honoured as Innovator of the Month. Sinead is so positive and has brought such great innovation ideas to the ICU. She has been a great team leader in Critical Care and always has new ideas for change. 💡 👏 @gill_sinead
I, like most others, instantly thought “Glutes!” but upon further pondering I’ll pick The Rotator Cuff - it provides mobility AND some stability! Best of both worlds.
Although the pelvic floor is a bit of an unsung hero too. This question really brings out my indecisiveness! 🤓
Six million people who need to access bedaquiline will be unable to do so over the next four years unless J&J backs down. TB is currently a leading cause of death around the world but it doesn’t have to continue to be! #PatientsNotPatents
Tell @JNJNews their attempts to evergreen the patent on the life-saving tuberculosis drug bedaquiline is unjust and a violation of their corporate credo: https://t.co/6LJZ39ltVj
And then tell the world that Johnson & Johnson is denying MILLIONS access to life-saving TB treatment.
Great outcomes from the falls group set up by @Prisha_Physio on a specialist older persons ward. A hugely beneficial, patient centred addition to the service!
The Pfizer news means the value of avoiding infections over the next few months has gone way up. That in turn should make states more willing to move aggressively to reduce infections in the short term. The aim should be to get as many people through the winter as possible.
Due to recent restrictions & the fact that many restaurants have closed for a couple of weeks, I will be selling veg at my farm gate Sunday, Please swing by if you are in the South kildare area for the freshest carrots, Cime di rapa, Cavello Nero, squash,Tom's, etc Dm directions
Ireland typically runs a hospital bed occupancy level of 95%, and over 100% in the winter, with people lying in corridors. Our health system would be the quickest to be overrun in the EU, according to ECDC. That's relavant to policy decisions now.
If doctors care about the health of our patients, how can we only be concerned with healthcare? (Which contributes to only about 15% of health gains). How can we not care about wider determinants of health?
Why are we not all activists?
The government gave Dublin restaurants 3 hrs to close.Amount of fresh food wasted shocking.Why 3 hrs???Our industry could have organised food for the vulnerable. Front liners etc etc.This is no help to anyone @merrionstreet @RAI_ie@MichealMartinTD the environment? @EamonRyan
