Too true in England as well. Future generations will look back in horror - as we used to look back to the Victorian hospitals before Florence Nightingale. It's shameful

[Care Champions Ireland @CareChampions2]

Regrettably, this is not an isolated incident within our emergency departments. the conditions are profoundly inhumane. Despite senior leadership within the HSE and government being fully aware of these systemic issues, vulnerable patients are still required to navigate this environment for medical assistance. The situation has deteriorated to the point where some individuals feel too ill to even risk attending an A&E.

Ahead of #CarersWeek next week, we'd love to hear from you. What's one thing that's made a big difference to you as a carer?

@DiverseAlz ❤️ Cannot understand why it’s not already law! With all the DNR’s being foisted on people it’s more important than ever!!! @Diverse

[Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz]

We know the issue about it has been debated in Parliament but it seems that is as far as it's got. Care Rights says "We are campaigning for everyone to have the right to a Care Supporter when using health or care services". Seems incredible it isn't the case already. #diversealz

[Kate @kt2690]

@helenfindlay @DiverseAlz Julia @JohnCampaign is incredible in the work they have done within hospitals & continues to push for the care partnership as well. But as she always says, the legal right to a #caresupporter must include ALL settings and people, the power must be with the person receiving care

[Kate @kt2690]

Something that most, if not all #unpaidcarers will know about #burnout - sadly they cannot just step back and take a leave of absence .......

The government’s 10 Year Health Plan sets out its vision to tackle #health inequalities, stating: ‘social justice runs through this plan.’ But what does it mean for #LGBTQ+ people? 1 in 8 LGBT people report unequal treatment from health care staff...🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
