The beautiful Kathleen Keyes, who buried the last of her beautiful children just over a year ago; my brother's best friend.
If nothing else, be good to each other; we rarely know what sorrows, what hurts, losses, traumas or devastation they may be carrying.
This letter in today’s Irish Times is one of the saddest things I’ve ever read in the pages of the newspaper. Life can be unspeakably cruel. The letter also makes me feel infinitely privileged for all that I have.

Medics:
If you're not broadly up-to-date then you don't know.
If you don't know, say you don't know.
If you don't know, don't minimise or dismiss.
Saying "I don't know" is an honest, respectful response.
Giving out-of-date, harmful advice is not good enough.

Great news:
The best therapists (rated by therap-ees) are those who doubt themselves AND who are kind to themselves in that doubt.

Services do not make people better, it's the quality of their interactions that count.
Changing thoughts in toxic environments will not help.
Very well said Tony Bates... I'm slightly paraphrasing, but he's right on the money... for young people, and for all people.

I have huge respect for this man.
To perform as he has been, in the most extraordinary times, under such immense pressure, when this was unfolding in his personal life; such utter dedication.
Thank you
@CMOIreland
. You and your family are in our hearts and thoughts.

We are a tired, worn-out nation.
Some of us are sick.
Many of us are lonely.
All of us are anxious.
Jobs have disappeared.
Services have been redeployed.
There will be a sunrise that illuminates this dark time. It will come.
For now, one day at a time.

Very moved by the story of
@PhelanVicky

#PSICONF19
: a story of heartbreak, pain, courage, determination, conviction and humanity.
Ireland is better for women like her; I applaud her and thank her deeply and wholeheartedly.

My heart truly breaks for the McGinley and Morley families.. those with us and those brightening up the sky.
Tears flowing across the country tonight as we pause to be with Andrew and the memories of his beautiful, beautiful children.

This is incredibly important.
How do we stay in contact with our essential selves and our values as healthcare providers in the face of what is, for many, an existential crisis?
Many thanks for your wise words

Well, we might be needing a new revision of the MoCA seeing as it's been splashed all over social media, potentially rendering results invalid.

"Caregiving is essential to national wellbeing; however, caregiving
itself adversely affects the wellbeing of caregivers. In our view, support for caregiving should therefore be seen as an essential collective national duty that creates formal obligations on the state."
On 8 March, Irish citizens will be asked to vote in a referendum on proposed changes to current text of the Constitution. The focus will be on the definition of Family and Care provided by family members. Read our Position paper here: .

Psychology can, of course, be dangerous and we as a professional group must be alert to "Bad Psychology" within our profession.

If you care for patients in
#CriticalCare
, you care for patients (and families) experiencing the horrors of
#delirium
👇
What's needed:
- Prevention
- Detection
- Evidence-based management
- Explanation
- Follow-up
Thanks
@RehabLegendLou

Working on this with
@RehabLegendLou
has been a privilege - space for patient narrative can only forward understanding and improve care
This piece on

is further testament to that.

Digesting the most inspirational, considered & powerful reflections on equity & women in leadership from

today.
Gutted to not be there in person, but also resting gently in awareness of my own needs.
Not that there's always permission to do that
