OT help please! I'm 146cms and need to install a 2nd handrail on stairs, I'm on waiting list for an OT home visit, my physio suggests I go ahead and get a joiner to install a handrail on stairs now. Will my short stature, reach, hip height need to be taken into account? TYIA.

The connection between #adolescentidiopathicscoliosis and #functionalgastrointestinaldisorders remains unclear. This #study found that #AIS is correlated with an elevated likelihood of #FGIDs, indicating that it may be potential #riskfactor.

@mlchealth @healthdpt It would be easier for patients in West Cavan / Leitrim to go to SWAH for A&E & some procedures/ apts surely something can be done here to stop the hospital from closing ? @saveourswah @RobinSwann_MLA @DonnellyStephen

It's only right that all patients are reviewed. No governance , a toxic culture all played a part in Catherine's death. There needs to be a new inquest opened into Catherine's Death.

@ShaunLintern Absolutely shocking , this should never have gone so far. We hope Catherine's family get the new inquest and justice. All patients of the surgeon should be reviewed.

For those supporting a yes vote to the care referendum, have a read. This is the State 'striving' to help. This reality is why I will vote no and call on Govt to put the rights based defintion of care of Citizens Assembly to the public. https://t.co/zsH1vnaaqv

It was a pleasure to attend and speak at this important event.

I am calling on @chhcalling to withdraw the NI budget as recommended by the UN Committee on the rights of the child, & that all NI government departments review their equality impact assessments on budget cuts.
