I might just retweet this every day forever - it is SO important that doctors experience the positive effects of having a GP. Self care + Primary care = Healthy Doctor

"Feasible even in metastatic disease"... I would respectfully ask all of us as HCPs to stop assuming that metastatic=moribund!! I did one of my best cartwheels ever about 10 years after my stage 4 diagnosis.

HPV is a common virus. There are more than 100 types and most of us will get it at some point. The HPV vaccine protects against the types that can cause cancer. Get the facts about the HPV vaccine on #WorldImmunizationWeek 👇 🔗 www2.healthservice.hse.ie/organisation/n… #VaccinesWork

We've added new resources to our website about the work we're doing to improve equity in screening - breaking down barriers and helping more people to access screening: 🟠 new partnerships 🟠 more projects 🟠 recent reports Take a look: hse.ie/equityinscreen… #ChooseScreening

We welcome that the Minister for Health has approved a recommendation to lower the #BowelScreen age range. This is a major step forward for bowel cancer prevention and early detection in Ireland. Read more: www2.healthservice.hse.ie/organisation/n… #ChooseScreening

Listen back to Dr @SarahFitzWiMIN as she joined @ShannonsideFM to talk about Bowel Cancer Awareness Month and the importance of bowel screening to prevent bowel cancer or find it early when it's easier to treat. #BowelScreen is for everyone aged 57 to 71. #ChooseScreening

It is unacceptable that healthcare workers are being excluded from life saving help solely because of where they live. Dr Adam Kay, our Patron, joined leaders in Northern Ireland last week to call for NI staff to have NHS Practitioner Health services.

Patient advocates Mary and Peter tell us about their experience taking part in #BowelScreen, encouraging others to #choosescreening. BowelScreen is for everyone aged 57 to 71. It's a simple test you do at home, and it's free. 🔗www2.healthservice.hse.ie/organisation/n… #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth

@MichelleMPS Ha! I love the scratch 🤣🤣

Turns out, it's probably not cake. adventuresofasickdoctor.blogspot.com/2026/03/um-pro…

@littlemissileo @Neil_J_Smart Well done!

Just call me Dr Sue! Passed with minor corrections. Think @Neil_J_Smart was definitely watching over me.

Women are at least as capable as men at doctoring, but continue to have more demands on their time, according to Dr Sarah Fitzgibbon bit.ly/411vU40 @WomenMedIreland @SarahFitzWiMIN #WIMIN #MedEd #GP #NCHD

Thanks to the generosity of our members and supporters, we are able to offer a number of free conferences spaces to students and reduced registration rates for those who are working less than full time. Help us to help others by sponsoring a space! wimin.ie/shop/p/sponsor…

(*there's data to suggest that women are more capable than men at doctoring, but that's not the point of this article...)

@SarahFitzWiMIN Thank You Super Woman ❤️

It’s me ❤️

I loved getting the opportunity to talk about the important and inspiring influences in my life, including my great colleagues @NSShse and #cervicalcancerelimination! And of course my mighty mum, who is unstoppable (like, literally 😂)

Today, our #CervicalCheck Screening Training Unit are in Athlone facilitating a novice workshop for new sample takers as part of our cervical screening education programme, and raising awareness about HPV on #HPVawarenessDay. #ChooseScreening 🔗 cervicalcheck.ie/health-profess…

#HPVAwarenessDay I love HPV research, because now we can prevent it, we can screen for it, and we can treat early changes before they turn into cancer. Before we understood the role of HPV, cervical cancer was a major concern. Now, we are on track to make it rare by 2040.

In a gargantuan leap of analogies, I have compared my cancer to a cake...or is it? adventuresofasickdoctor.blogspot.com/2026/02/is-it-…
