@PsychSocIreland @sharonlambert0 Congratulations Sharon 🤩

@Fi_Contextual @nialloftus @GarNob Fortunately you can filter PSI search results by discipline so it's easy enough to find a clinical/educational psychologist etc.

@SarahAMcInerney @SimonHarrisTD 2/ Recruitment and retention in Psychology is a significant issue. Why are you not planning to increase training places for Psychologists alongside other therapy disciplines?

[Dr Victoria Page @DrVPage]

@SarahAMcInerney @SimonHarrisTD 1/ Since PDS the referral rate and waiting lists for Primary Care services have increased drastically. Disabled children are waiting years to access support. Does your commitment to disabled children extend to those in Primary Care? How will you address this?

@Donnchadhol @EimearRMcA Happy Birthday Eimear 🤩

[Dr Victoria Page @DrVPage]

@Duncanjee @myACBS This looks great! Will it be available as a recording to watch later?

@DONPSI @Brainworx_Irl Ah congratulations Susan, amazing achievement 👏

'Can't get enough applicants'... what do they expect when they aren't actually advertising the vacant posts 🙄

[Liam Quaide TD @LiamQuaide]

Clear indication from Dr. Andy Phillips, HSE South West REO, that he sees redeployment of psychologists from services that are in a relatively healthy state to crisis-hit services as the way forward, via a Director of Psychology.

Sure fire way to drive clinicians out of the HSE.

[Liam Quaide TD @LiamQuaide]

.@CorkKerryCH blame recruitment challenges for soaring primary care waiting-lists,not mentioning the main challenge: their failure to pursue recruitment.

Redeployment of psychologists under a new Director to comply with govt Pay & Numbers Strategy would be further mismanagement.

[Dr Victoria Page @DrVPage]

@psychpolis This was entirely predictable since PDS rollout in 2021. Action should have been taken at the time to properly resource Primary Care Psychology and prevent this dire situation we now find ourselves in.

"almost 4,800 children waiting for a child psychology appointment across Cork & Kerry alone, HSE has admitted half of the funded posts in the service are vacant and that it is struggling to recruit psychologists"

Don't train enough can't recruit enough

*This is the cumulative effect of years of underfunding & inadequate staffing levels.
*It will get worse unless @HSELive stops the recruitment freeze & funds additional PC posts.

CHILDREN WAITING ON A TOTAL NUMBER 91,929 PRIMARY CARE APPOINTMENTS

@UCL_DClinPsy Tony was an absolute legend in the world of Psychology. I feel truly privileged to have trained under his leadership at UCL. Heartfelt condolences to all those who mourn his passing. May he rest in peace 🙏

[Dr Victoria Page @DrVPage]

Deeply upsetting to hear this. Psychology services are already severely under resourced with extensive waiting lists. The consequences of unmet mental health needs can be devastating for children and families.

[RTÉ News @rtenews]

The HSE is to extend a recruitment freeze to all categories of staff, with the exception of consultants, doctors in training and 2023 graduate nurses and midwifes

@LasquaredL @MarciaW_ard @CUH_Cork @PsychSocIreland A very impressive group of clinicians. Delighted to have heard you all speak this morning 😊

[Dr Victoria Page @DrVPage]

@claruineill @AnnMemmott @WalkerSensei @msniamhgarvey @OT_Expert @OTDenise @yogawithadriene Have you looked at Dr Michelle Garnett's work? She uses yoga in her clinical practice, and I think is a trained yoga teacher too. She has some resources listed on her website.
