Attention all off-duty staff in the vicinity of SWAH. Due to increasing pressures this evening on the NI Helathcare System we are appealing to you to contact or go directly to the hospital. Thank You

@McCrossanMLA Would be more sensible to do it this Sat! Particularly when no one in the schools this week...So let’s put them out of school, out of routine for 7 weeks and throw a test at them!! And we are supposed to be supporting mental health. Disgrace.

[Jill Hamilton @JillHamilton20]

@McCrossanMLA @SDLPlive @peterweirmla Awful for the kids, sitting practice papers today for a test which by the looks of things will be cancelled on Saturday morning at this rate!

[Jill Hamilton @JillHamilton20]

@McCrossanMLA @Martyharkin1972 Great yet another day to hear the inevitable.

[Jill Hamilton @JillHamilton20]

@peterweirmla Simply shocking! Kids are exhausted and should be looking forward to Christmas. Disgraceful no consideration for the pupils or teachers.

[Jill Hamilton @JillHamilton20]

@DrVicSimms @peterweirmla Difficult to cancel when the kids have put so much effort in at this point in such awful circumstances. I know my child would prefer to get it over with at this point. I know not all will feel that way which is challenging.

She’s not on Twitter...yet, but this deserves a big mention. Congratulations, Jane, thanks for your leadership and support! https://t.co/TAyvsNsSe8

Do you have a child between 5-12 with #lymphoedema or are you a young person aged 13-21 with lymphoedema? The ILF wants to validate a #QOL tool to enable parents, children, and professionals to better understand and help those with this condition -> https://t.co/FUi4ONuE9f

@jennifer_amy215 @WeDistrictNurse 3. And if we don't recognise the impact of acceptance, the burden of these awful wounds on community nurses will not be lifted. Getting compression on reduces workload with immediate effect. Improving patient and nursing lives https://t.co/pBU0dOxPEN

Stay tuned for the @PocketMedicFilm on #lymphoedema which will be available to both patients and professionals later this week as part of ILF’s continued support of #lymphoedema #education. Watch the trailer video while waiting -> https://t.co/SKjR3tvl8h

Potential benefits of anti inflammatory in lymphoedema - great work @trasnochando

[Stan Rockson @trasnochando]

Ten years of research finally in print today: targeted anti-inflammatory therapy improves human #lymphedema. Stanford press release: https://t.co/d6z1Bfxmc2

[Jill Hamilton @JillHamilton20]

Treatment burden should be included in clinical practice guidelines | The BMJ - great article - treatment burden needs to be considered carefully when managing lymphoedema https://t.co/KiOHwlGEOB

[Elaine McConnell @EMcConnell99]

Some very important challenges ahead and some very thought provoking questions at this mornings bariatric policy launch.
