@LinkedInHelp Credit where it’s due @LinkedInHelp @LinkedIn did respond and issue resolved today. Thank you.

Hi @LinkedInHelp @LinkedIn I have tried through website and XDM today to get assistance. Apart from an automated ask for my email (which I gave) nothing. As a longstanding member and premium pay holder I can only say this is the worst bar none customer service.

[Bernard Gloster @BernardGloster]

@LinkedInHelp not very responsive!

[Bernard Gloster @BernardGloster]

@nikkihayes Well done.

We welcome the reintroduction of the Laura Brennan HPV Catch-Up Programme. This life-saving vaccine prevents HPV-related cancers in both men and women. We urge all students who missed it to get vaccinated. As Laura said, “This vaccine saves lives. It could have saved mine”.

[HSE Ireland @HSELive]

If you or your family feel unwell, consider all healthcare options so you can get the right care, from the right place.

Speaking about the week that is traditionally the week of highest demand for health services, HSE CEO @BernardGloster said “The range of services available are fully open and operational. We have invested in extra GP hours both in surgery and Out of Hours services, all of our Primary Care Centres are open and many extra sources of advice and support are available from community-based nursing and allied health professionals. However, even with a full range of services available, it is expected people will experience waiting times for care.”

Thanks Susan hope all well. In our various adverts we talk to places rather than discipline- the reason GP Pharmacies is they are both. We also talk about LIU ED etc all places where people encounter excellent nursing advice. I’ll be happy to emphasise this in my general comms as nurses are excellent in their role. Happy Christmas

@MaiaDunphy Thank you @MaiaDunphy for lending your voice to this important public health message. @HSELive @CarrollJennifer @roinnslainte
