Well done to Dr Jonathan Dillon from Newry & District GP Federation for campaigning to lower the bowel cancer screening age from 60 to 50.
Diagnosed just before his 50th birthday in 2024, Dr Dillon has shared his own experience to raise awareness and help save lives.
His efforts were recognised this week at the @niassembly , highlighted by @EoinTennyson MLA during Members’ Statements.

@DanHill12924322@OfficialDownGAA No he should not have we are all accountable autonomous individuals Brian Higgins made the correct choice kilcoo got their game I am curious to see who will referee the next one will they get the same nonsensical abuse wait and see!!!!!
@OfficialDownGAA As I have said in my other posts on this platform, I’m now calling on Ulster GAA to kick Kilcoo out of the Ulster Championship. It might restore a bit of honour to the association and respect the wishes of true gaels throughout the province. Kind regards, Warren.
Not only has Shea achieved exceptional academic success, he has also achieved exceptional sporting success.
Shea comes from a family of doctors which played a key role in inspiring him to become one himself. He also currently plays as a full-back for the @UlsterRugby team.
“I had a busy year completing my degree whilst still gaining exposure to professional rugby through playing for Ulster during some friendly fixtures and 'A' games.
“I have since signed a two-year senior contract with Ulster Rugby, allowing me to live my dream of becoming a professional rugby player. This has been the highlight of my Ulster career so far.
“It is a great honour and huge privilege to represent the province, my club Armagh and my family and friends by doing something I love to do - playing rugby. I look forward to being able to continue to do this over the coming years.”
Speaking about what he loves most about being a doctor, he said: “The satisfaction of being able to make a real difference and have such a positive impact on people who are in need on a daily basis is the most appealing part of the profession to me.”
Shea O’Brien graduated today with a degree in Medicine.
“Queen’s has been fantastic and has given me the most enjoyable years of my life so far. At an academic level, we are privileged as medical students at Queen’s to have the opportunity to spend most of our university years in the clinical setting, meeting and dealing with real life patients, which has provided priceless learning opportunities.
"Socially, there is a huge comradery between fellow peers on the course providing me with the highlight of the five years - the great people I've met and the new friends I have made for life.”
Congratulations Dr O’Brien. You are definitely on top of your game!
