@DrMBarrett @Sineadnib Nice work team!! Lovely study.

Healthcare institutions and workers should never be targeted. We ask all other health care organizations in Ireland to join our call @RCPI_news @RCSI_Irl @UCDMedicine @tcddublin @CHI_Ireland

Nirsevimab, a monoclonal antibody targeting RSV, led to decreased hospitalizations for RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infection in infants during their first RSV season, in an open-label, pragmatic trial. Read the full HARMONIE trial results: nej.md/4au8JD5

@DublinAirport you can surely do better than having a hundred people queuing in the lashing rain on the tarmac to get on their plane. Everyone soaked sitting down now for their 2+ hour flight.. Miserable all round.

@will_kinsella Dún Laoghaire and Boyle (Co Roscommon) :)

Advice please. I'm planning a series of library events to speak to new parents about all things related to new parenthood along with other specialist speakers. Which libraries around the country and in Dublin have the nicest event spaces that would be available? Thank you. 🙂

This paper has confirmed oour suspicion on the ground in ED. IGAS is here and a more significant problem than before.

@sally_c2 @RCHMelbourne I had heard along the grapevine you were coming our way! Looking forward to meeting you and welcoming you to the RCH family :)

A different kind of changeover today, signing off with a final SHO note and a fond farewell to Irish soil for a short time🥹 It’s been a beautiful two years and many kind and exceptional colleagues helped along the way! Paediatric BST ✔️ Next stop @RCHMelbourne 🇦🇺

@carrie_kollias Hear hear!! 👏🤛💪

In acute crisis, over and over I have seen healthcare teams rise to the challenge and do amazing things. It is invigorating. What grinds us down is useless bureaucracy, tone deaf leaders, non-sensical budgets, and chronic lack of access for patients.

@DrSarahMcNab @RCHMelbourne Wish we had the nasal spray flu vaccine for kiddos, as is used in Europe. Think uptake would be higher!

High levels of flu in Melbourne at the moment: “now is the best time to get your children vaccinated as cases will continue to climb over the winter” Looking forward to a time in the not-too-distant future when we can also vaccinate for RSV amp.smh.com.au/national/early… @RCHMelbourne

The climate crisis is a health crisis.. But we have no vaccination for the climate crisis.... Real food for thought this morning from Prof Virginia Murray at WADEM 2023 #WADEM23

If we communicate our uncertainty simply & succinctly to the public they will understand and follow. Public health communication has been a key feature of the pandemic - really interesting to hear @ronan_glynn thoughts on the last few years #WADEM23

How do we teach that uncertainty is OK to our medical trainees? Leadership, critical thinking & clear communication are all inherent/personal skills & traits, but we can (and should) also teach & embed these skills into training #WADEM23
