@kiityc @SiobhanKirk15 @BelfastTrust @publichealthni @HSC_NI Such significant inequalities! reality is that a robot is not needed for the basics but the basics is not all that is needed and sadly we will not retain/recruit good surgeons for both the basic and advanced part of service without equipment readily available in rest of UK!

Such a shame this is still not an option for women in NI requiring major gynae surgery on NHS.Currently only men can benefit from urological robotic procedures @BelfastTrust .Other specialties need access to robots too!@healthdpt @publichealthni @HSC_NI
NHS England@NHSEngland

By 2035, half a million operations every year will be supported by cutting-edge NHS robotic surgery. This will mean better outcomes, faster recovery and shorter hospital stays for patients. Read more ➡️ england.nhs.uk/2025/06/millio…

Weight loss injections can reduce effectiveness of contraceptive pills and affect oral HRT absorption causing bleeding problems etc. Coil,implant,injectable,non oral HRT preferable. So many women in my clinics using them-need to ask all re use as they don’t always tell you! Info/guidance on @FSRH_UK @BrMenopauseSoc websites ⬇️1/2

We have joined 30 other medical, legal and public health organisations in support of the call made by the @RCObsGyn for urgent action to be taken by Parliament to ensure women’s essential reproductive rights are protected by decriminalising abortion in the UK.
RoyalCollegeObsGyn@RCObsGyn

Unprecedented attacks on women’s reproductive rights have no place in a compassionate, caring society – and today we are calling on @UKParliament to decriminalise abortion and remove the threat of prosecution for women in relation to their own pregnancy. (1/2)

Today is World AIDS Day. In Northern Ireland we are working towards eliminating HIV transmission. HIV prevention hinges on early diagnosis and treatment. Testing is key to this. Testing is available at sh24.org.uk sexualhealthni.info
