It's Daffodil Day! 💛🌼💙A day to raise awareness and improve cancer care for all! For people with intellectual and physical disabilities, as well as older adults, accessing cancer care isn’t just about getting an appointment—it’s about being heard, supported, and receiving the right care at the right time. Yet, too many face barriers at every stage. Findings from the EUCAN project highlight critical challenges, from difficulties in symptom reporting and screening access to systemic workforce pressures and a lack of tailored support. Without change, delays in diagnosis and treatment will continue—but we can fix this. Findings from the EUCAN project highlight critical challenges: 🔸 Delays in diagnosis due to difficulties verbalizing symptoms 🔸 Barriers to screening & navigating healthcare systems 🔸 Lack of tailored support, leaving many without the care they need We can change this! Solutions include: ✅ Inclusive communication – easy-read materials & visual aids ✅ Personal advocacy – empowering carers & families to ensure timely care ✅ System-wide improvements – better training, more resources, and proactive, person-centred care Cancer care must be accessible to all—no one should be left behind. This #DaffodilDay, let's push for equity in cancer care. 💛 @IrishCancerSoc @mcmahonm44 @louiseaml @shaunaewalsh #EuCan #CancerEquity #InclusiveHealthcare

If we truly value #mentalhealth in this country we need to eliminate the financial barriers for psychologists to be trained Get paid as a HSE AP then have to decide which higher training route to choose to qualify: 1⃣ get paid for your work 2⃣ work for free for 3 years

Government have consistently ignored the plight of counselling & educational psychology trainees working on the #mentalhealth & #education frontline yet again for free, lets use our voices to highlight & change this inequity 👇 chng.it/KCC9CHhTMB

This country is in the midst of an unprecedented mental health crisis. the government need to remove the barriers for people wanting to become psychologists if we are serious about tackling the problem.

There are so many aspiring psychologists who change career after doing undergraduate and msc/ma degrees due to the many barriers that they will face whilst attempting get onto a doctoral program. These barriers lead to lack of diversity in the field, which is unfair to many of us

The PSI and @TheUSI are calling on the Government to address the disparity in funding for psychology trainees in Ireland, and ensure the country has the psychological workforce it needs. See bit.ly/3dycrjB to read the statement in full. #MyPSI

Students from working class backgrounds are priced out of psychology.
