After hearing their founder speak recently I was amazed to learn that @IrishSepsis is the only charity in Ireland supporting those affected by Sepsis. This group are working hard to support families up and down the country with an online support group happening tomorrow!!

Registration is open for our free online support group at 7pm next Wednesday, 5th July. Anyone affected by sepsis in any way is welcome to join👇❤️

Go team!!

All credit due to laboratory scientists @UHW_Waterford who are delivering results of SARS-COV-2 tests remarkably quickly to GPs. Tests requested yesterday afternoon were available to me first thing this morning. 👏👏. @paulreiddublin @DonnellyStephen

I can't believe I am writing this again this year. What about HSCPs, 2nd largest clinical workforce. Huge innovation shown by Biomedical Engineers, Med Lab Scientists, Physios, Physiologists, OTs, SLTs etc during COVID. I feel so demoralises, excluded and undervalued. Please fix

👋Closing date Monday 19th Oct!⬅️The SPARK innovation programme can support NCHDs, nurses & midwives to implement solutions to problems highlighted or heightened by the #COVID19 pandemic. Funding available up to €3k individually or €5k groups. Visit: hse.ie/eng/staff/lead…

What is a Medical Scientist? A thread. Please note, it doesn't have to be this way. @HSELive have the power to change.

Severe lack of medical scientists in Irish laboratories irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/i…

As Ireland starts to lift restrictions, hand washing, respiratory hygiene and physical distancing are even more important. If you have cold or flu like symptoms, even mild ones, isolate at home and call your GP. Do it today. Don’t put it off. RT. @HSELive @roinnslainte #COVID19

We are aware that the visiting restriction means that our patients can feel lonely, a note can make a difference to their day, here in UHW we have set up an email address where you can send a letter/a picture to your friend or relative. UHWANote2U@hse.ie @HrSswhg @HSELive

Great news but terrible reporting - No mention of the highly qualified and skilled medical scientists that are solely responsible for processing and analysis of these tests in laboratories across the country @ACSLM1 @acslmPresident @MarieCulliton @JohnCrumlish2 @MedLabAssoc

For anyone looking for a fun and educational activity these are fab! Will definitely be doing these. Tigers are just one option. Geography, science and word games to name a few all rolled in to one! Definitely worth a look! #StaySafeStayHome #homeschooling #GirlsinSTEM

We have our latest Fota Workbooks for Home up! it's all about Sumatran Tigers and more about the five individual tigers we have in the park. Get it from the blog here - bit.ly/TigerWorkbook

A little worried that some complacency is setting in. We have made progress but we’re not yet where we need to be. We need to see a fall in new cases. Encouraging signs. But please let’s not slip up now. #StayHome. It’ll be worth it! Retweet so we all get a reminder #Covid19


Back #oncall. Plenty of COVID queries to keep me going but don't forget #medicalscientists are on call and working to cover all the other urgent testing we did before!! #StaySafeStayHome but remember all #HCWs are here if you need us. @ACSLM1 #microbiology
