Taoiseach Micheál Martin has indicated Ireland will not be getting involved in the US plan to secure the Strait of Hormuz.

It comes as a number of European countries have also ruled out taking up Donald Trump's idea.

Some high-risk types can cause cancers of the cervix, penis, anus, vulva, vagina and throat. They can also cause genital warts.

Delirium develops over hours/days, dementia over months/years.

"Dad was fine yesterday, today he's a different person" = think delirium, not dementia progression.

Please re-Tweet for all who strive to live fully with dementia and all who offer support.

Explain delirium in accessible terms: "The brain isn't processing information normally right now."

This helps families understand why repeating basics about what is going on, as well as being reassuring over and over again, can help the person experiencing #delirium.

🧠⚕️ Treating delirium is complex.

♥️ But always remember that there is a person in front of you who is suffering & needs warmth, gentleness & skilled interaction.

🪢 Thinking about delirium treatment as both brain care & mind care is essential.

Last Thursday, we had the pleasure of bringing together our NOCA Patient & Public Involvement (PPI) Representatives for an afternoon of connection, reflection and collaboration. We now have a community of 30 PPI representatives, supporting NOCA’s portfolio of audits and registries and representing 17 advocacy organisations across Ireland.

The atmosphere in the room was genuinely uplifting - open, warm, honest and deeply collaborative. The conversations will play a central role in shaping how we enhance involvement, strengthen quality improvement, and refine the development of our next strategy.

We celebrated the inclusion of patient stories across seven national reports this year, the growing visibility of patient voice at eight NOCA events, and the incredible contributions our PPI group has made across committees, advisory groups, focus groups and co-design work.

The energy and commitment shown reaffirmed something we hold strongly: PPI is not a tokenistic exercise - it is a vital part of how we deliver audits that matter, drive improvement, and keep patients at the centre.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, contributed and created such a positive space. It’s a privilege to work alongside such a dedicated group, and we look forward to all we will achieve together in 2026.
