Today we will officially launch a pilot service in @ULHospitals to create custom #3Dprinted breast prostheses for survivors of #breastcancer with our colleagues Chwanrow Baban @UL & @lorrain94408732 @materprivate. A huge thanks to @rte for covering it on #hospitallive last night!
Great to see bespoke prostheses being delivered right at the point of care for women who are post-mastectomy. Always proud to support amazing talent like @EmmaJude_Lyons in responding to the unmet needs of people with cancer 💙

Some of the RIU postgrads are running a plastic bottle collection drive tomorrow as part of the #rePET3D project!
Drop by @UL courtyard Tuesday and Wednesday this week with your empty plastic bottles! They will be there from 12-3pm both days ♻️
Up to 60% of our plastic waste is being exported, incinerated or dumped in landfill & as little as 33% of plastic packaging is recycled in Ireland
This is the subject of one of our Sustainability Challenge winners who are seeking to reduce plastic waste:
