(1/5) A lot has changed since 1711 when the 1st medical school opened but bedside training still remains fundamental. COVID- 19 has tested the flexibility, imagination and innovation of our hospitals and universities – and they have stepped up to the challenge.

'Guidelines don't implement themselves' says Karen Ryan at IADNAM conference in Cork. Nor does integrated care says Jennifer Quaglietta from Toronto. Leadership, meaningful information and, above all, patient involement are absolute requirements. @IADNAM1
