Very pleased that the first paper of my PhD is published!

Our scoping review invites clinicians & researchers to consider how children with disabilities can be actively involved in #goalsetting, guided by our new DECIDE framework @mackeithpress

#LongCovid patients have:

1. Functional impairment worse than stroke; comparable to Parkinson's

2. Worse quality of life than metastatic cancers

3. Worse fatigue than stroke, bowel disease, & end stage renal disease

We need clinical trials urgently!

We do not have a rights-based approach to disability in Ireland. I refuse to believe that if a third of posts in another crucial public service were vacant that it'd be tolerated.*

What an incredible advocate for disability inclusion, rights and equality - @RathVivian played an absolute blinder on the #tommytiernanshow tonight - bravo

[Association of Occupational Therapists of Ireland @AOTInews]

Robert Watt expected to blame Covid-19 and worldwide shortage of health workers on missed staff recruitment targets.

But retention of staff is as much of a problem as recruitment is. Need to treat staff better and improve their working conditions!
