@LMFMRADIO I'll be talking about what we should all know here in Ireland about the #measles outbreak in the UK. #FactsNotFears

Appalled to see the Telegraph giving Aseem Malhotra a platform today. He has spread increasingly dangerous vaccine misinformation with impunity. ⁦@gmcuk⁩’s failure to remove him from the register is every bit as appalling. A spineless dereliction of duty.

Thanks to fantastic journalist Louise Walsh for covering this important topic on tanning trends and sun safety as temperatures soar this week. #preventativehealth #lifestylemedicine #evidencebasedmedicine

Let's Eat. Hungry isn't Healthy. - Emdoc Health some great recipes here thanks ⁦@emdocHealth⁩ emdoc.ie/lets-eat-hungr…

2/3 Thanks so much for Late Lunch today @LMFMRADIO for inviting me to highlight return of dangerous trends in tanning, especially those targeting teens -- all the while a certain reality TV show normalises tanning. Tanning is sun damage and increases your risk of skin cancer

1/3 Whatever skin colour you are, you are beautiful. If you do happen to be among the many on our own island who are naturally on the paler side, it's time to switch the paradigm from "pasty" to pure porcelain perfection. Own Your Tone.

It's an oddly delicious irony that today- the only 23 hour day in the year - is the day dedicated to two groups of people most likely to say: "Never enough hours in the day"#HappyMothersDay #DoctorsDay2025

Thank you so much to the young gentleman half my age in the petrol station this morning that called me "miss" and not "ma'am". And kudos to his mama somewhere out there: you raised him well.

On Laura’s 6th anniversary, we once again renew her appeal to parents whose teenagers have been offered the HPV vaccine to avail of this life saving opportunity. Combined with cervical screening Ireland can eliminate cervical cancers. #ProtectOurFuture #ThankYouLaura
