The ICGP/HSE Clinical Lead for Infection Control, Dr Scott Walkin, has urged parents of young children to have them vaccinated against whooping cough (pertussis) as the number of cases rise.  There were 551 cases of whooping cough up to 3 Nov this year vs 18 for all of 2023.


Or a head to head in a newspaper @IrishTimes @Independent_ie , all party leaders asked the same question, questions submitted by readers.

I would like to see a series of themed debates between party leaders The themes would be: Health & Social Services Housing Childcare Education With audience questions Moderated by someone with a firm, objective hand #Election2024

How does minister @DonnellyStephen propose to quantify productivity in the rapidly evolving landscape that is healthcare. Useful to note there has also been an intervening pandemic. Ultimatums and recruitment embargoes haven't served patients well in the past.

Cheers or tears? The true cost of alcohol is staggering 🥂💔 The new @WHO's new Alcohol Policy Playbook reveals the enormous health and economic toll alcohol takes on the WHO European Region. Let’s make health a priority over profit. bit.ly/4ffcZZe

All posts in healthcare should be open to less than full time applicants and this flexibility should be advertised & supported Caring responsibilities for older & younger family members are a major issue in recruitment/retention #healthcare

Dr Niamh Shaughnessy shares that 1 in 4 respondents want to work in a less than full time consultant post. #NCHDSurvey #NDTPConf24 #WorkforcePlanning #MedicalWorkforce

It is a positive thing that, post pandemic, we are having more face to face meetings/summits/forums. However, I am surprised at just how many of these events still mostly consist of "expert" speakers that people sit & listen to. What's the point of face to face if people aren't…
