We delighted to announce that we are the first HSC Trust in NI to provide a genetic treatment for Motor Neurone Disease through a new drug Tofersen that has been shown to slow & in some cases halt the progress of MND for those with the SOD1 gene variation

Good news. I’ve found an Emergency Department that isn’t crowded (although it will be busy later). It’s in a large field somewhere in Somerset. And it will be gone in 5 days.

This Christmas ad for a pub in Enniskillen is better than anything John Lewis has ever put out

[Sean McGovern @smcg600]

https://t.co/1ZKbbSByGQ old paper that holds true. The patients waiting for a specialist bed in ED lead to over crowding, poor ED performance and long ambulance handovers. Diverting minor cases from ED is a failed narrative if not preceded by improved patient flow and capacity

Well done Nick!
