Ireland is a few years behind the UK in the introduction of the Physician Associate role, and we should use that as an opportunity to learn from the many mistakes that health institutions in the UK have made in that time. Cartoon for @med_indonews

Over 1.3 million patients on waiting lists, GP surgeries unable to cope with demand, all staff under intolerable pressure. Government must face up to solutions - we need more doctors, more healthcare staff, more beds and funding that matches demand.

On call at #CUMH today. This is the worse wave of COVID19 so far for maternity services. If you are pregnant, please get vaccinated - it could be lifesaving for you and your baby. Great resources @RCPI_ObsGyn @drjendonnelly @climurphy

Absolutely true - need to aim for clean slate for each consult, regardless of caseload - balancing need to create sense of freedom/openness/time with efficient consulting = important part of the art of clinical medicine

3100 Public Posts. 1 in 5 unfilled. Nearly 1m on waiting lists. Ireland has Lowest number of specialists per head in EU. Not a single specialty has the required number actually working in the system. Need to INCREASE Consultant numbers by 42% in 7 years. Contact talks crucial.

I am looking for pharmacies, hotels and shops to sponsor toiletries for the staff of ICUs around the country. Our staff are working flat out and the chance to shower and freshen up before heading home would be hugely appreciated by all @AnaesTrainees @COAIrl @IACCN_ @HSELive
