@SPHeREprogramme congrats SPHeRE scholar Kathleen Harkin on winning the student oral presentation award at #HTAi2022Utrecht! A really thought-provoking discussion of what we mean by 'life cycle' evaluation of medical devices, and why important. 🇮🇪

[Kieran Walsh @KieranWalshMPSI]

Absolutely delighted to have been shortlisted in 3 categories in last night's @RAMIreland research awards, and was shocked to have won 2 of them (Public Health Medicine/Epidemiology and Psychiatry).
Thank you @RAMIreland for a brilliant night!

@dannifromdublin @amelia_epi We were so confused about why a bunch of roads were closed when heading in. So much for pleasant Saturday walk about the city! Definitely checking Twitter before we leave the house next time...

[Susan Spillane @Susan_Spillane]

@powerian The Fernando reveal still fills me with glee :D

@dannifromdublin @KieranWalshMPSI @sharpmelk That 5 off 20 is a pure tease. I never make it back in time to get that sweet, sweet discount!

@Tasmin1974 @petermbarrett1 I think it's also relevant that in countries such as the UK, the role of public health consultant is inclusive of specialists who do not have an undergraduate in medicine. This is not the case in Ireland - there is no route except through bachelors. Surely important re supply?

Several interesting pharmacoeconomic / HTA articles on cancer drugs published yesterday in @JAMAInternalMed. + associated commentary: https://t.co/whC3cIFB5y

I have to say, the #SPHeRE2021 periodic 5 minute intermission music is the relaxing interlude intervention I've been needing in my pandemic days.

Great #SPHeRE presentation from @KieranWalshMPSI on our study of duration of infectiousness of #SARSCoV2 #COVID19. Will be important to monitor whether any emerging difference in infectiousness duration associated with new variants of concern.

[SPHeRE @SPHeREprogramme]

@jamesfomahony @Varletron Any chance you could share by DM, James? I've been noticing recently how there seems to be a real perception with screening that low obvious direct cost = cost effective (and therefore 'should be implemented') so I'm interested in papers that might be contributing to this.
