On Call over Christmas Medical acute take. Of patients admitted and quite sick with covid. Most were unvaccinated. Gentle and polite question to each of them. Do you wish, in retrospect that you should have opted for vaccination? All said Yes without hesitation @HSELive

Great to see visiting of relatives in hospital is moving away from severe restrictions towards normalisation ( but not quite normal yet). It has been extremely hard on patients and close family. @CUH_Cork @HSELive @rte @IrishPatients #whatmattersmost

A true privelege to work in health service. The staff one meets hour by hour makes one humble. Front line, NAS, support staff, community. Integration is the only way forward. Communication.

With Staff shortages why does #NHS demand so much manual form filling, much of which actually distracts and detracts from Doing Care?

Profoundly relevant. We do terrible damage putting patients to bed and over minding them. Well intentioned but not what is needed. Let's make this make a National Priority. As a society we infantilise our Seniors. @BroadbankCarole @AinemCarroll @Olivia_Wall_ @Damianmcgov @CcoHse

Been thinking @BrianwDolan - #endPJparalysis principles should apply to all? Can’t find any evidence 2support ‘bed rest’ in any condition even antepartum- so why do we do it? The powerful image u created in my head of a bed as a waiting/restraining area won’t go away.....

This is flipping what we do to being patient centred. Means empowering patients to ask these questions. I know I would. Focus can often be about a point in time rather than journey or pathway #patientjourney @ECISTNetwork @Olivia_Wall_ @Damianmcgov @PeopleofHSE @BroadbankCarole

Both in UK and Ireland heard through media of politicians using the term " returns" today. Complex issue but how dare you refer to humans as returns. That is a very slippery slope of dehumanisation. All humans are some mother's child

2021 was our busiest year to date with 469 critical care retrievals, including a large number of transports arising out of multiple waves of #COVID19 disease and consequent ICU requirements. Thanks to all who contributed to meeting this huge increase in demand.
