I retire from the GMS next week but staying on. My wonderful colleagues presented me with this inscribed vase to mark the occasion. The practice hasn’t let patients down, has stayed the course and respects a vulnerable humanity. Proud and grateful.

What I’ve learnt from the last month of seeing 100s of children with cough/sore/throat and fever etc?
As a society we need to do better at normalising minor illness & high temperature. The current comms & messaging isn’t working. When it is ok & when parents should worry #teamGP

OK. I'm seriously losing faith in humanity..
I'm returning calls to people who are close contacts and now symptomatic so seeking advice and they are in their car or clearly in shops..
What part of 'STAY HOME if you are a close contact OR symptomatic' do people not understand?

[Northdoc @Northdocdublin]

@IMO_IRL @HSELive @ICGPnews did you forget when you negotiated the Covid triage GP payments.?lthat the GPs are going 24/7 - it does not finish when daytime surgeries close. Easy fix - extend deal to all co-ops in the morning.stop crushing GP morale @nedoc

[@nedoc @nedocGP]

Do GPs nationally realise their telephone assessment for #COVID19ireland in OOH is not funded by HSE & only applies to daytime work? @IMO_IRL @susmitchellSBP @FergalBowers

Mumps is on the rise across Ireland. If you think you have mumps, contact your GP, and stay home until the swelling goes down. @rtenews
