My last day of Prof. Diploma in Service Design @NCAD_Dublin . A great year with inspiring people. It has changed how I question and strive to develop solutions. It has been a busy year also doing a Prof. Cert @ucddublin in Referring for Radiological Procedures. A year of growth!

A great team & reflection of the power of partnerships.

Looking forward to chatting to 1st year physiotherapy students from University College Dublin @ucd_sphpss about my career to date & current role. #physiosofthefuture

[Stephen O' Rourke @StephenPhysio]

What a great start to the week! We welcomed back some patients who have been through our Back Class program for a focus group. Work can be hard & busy, but hearing how much impact the work has on people’s lives, makes it all worth it. @MaterPhysio @NCPTOS #lowbackpainpathway

[Stephen O' Rourke @StephenPhysio]

An issue very close to my own heart. Recently, a dear friend waited over one year in an acute hospital for a bed in the NRH. A busy ward, not appropriate for his needs. It just isn’t good enough @DonnellyStephen @SimonHarrisTD
