- Why are we waiting four days to start vaccinations? Can anyone give me a logical reason why- and why only 30in one day? THIS IS AN EMERGENCY #patientsafety
- Daughter No.1 has left for India - teaching yoga amongst other things-Senior A/E Nurse almost broken by our apalling treatment of HCPs in our toxic health service she is happy husbag & I are sad - happyfor her. Shame @HSELive @roinnslainte @DonnellyStephen @joaniehalpenny
- I am absolutely horrified at the latest missive from @HSELive with regard to asking new consultants to accept a contract which does not exist - Am I surprised?- No- the distinct dislike and "hate" of doctors is endemic in HSE - Relationships fractured before employment
- #liveline- listening in to young irish doc in OZ- His description of his last year should make the HSE very embarassed - We are losing a lot of medical expertise to OZ and NZ because of the trauma of their experience here in IE- Shame on @HSELive @roinnslainte @DonnellyStephen
- Met new resident in Nursing Home today/,93,years young- “I’m here because my children have done enough caring!! It’s time to give them a break!! I can see Bray Head and the church spire - happy to be here “My new role model
- My Covid daughter/ who put the heart crossways between me and the husbag when she was SO sick/ swam in the 40foot at dawn this morning/ Miracles do happen and Covid patients get better and she is more beautiful daily @joaniehalpenny #nursesmatter
- Why oh why are Junior doctors treated so badly ? parents of 3 different JHDs consulted this week -all told horrific stories for their young doctors- no lockers,no proper sleeping accomodation-Emergency tax - docked for 2 minutes late but not paid for overtime- no hot food at OOH
- COVID figures are high so Doctors must self care- A sick doctor is a patient and no use to anyone- least of all their patients so please be hyper vigilant and follow all the guidelines - I know you are all tired- so am I- and everyone is fed up with Covid- but please take care
- Always believed that patients should be prioritised by their medical need not by their ability to pay. Am absolutely sick by the behaviour of @Beacon_Hospital . There are many patients- who have been terrified by Covid because of their medical vulnerability who deserved priority
- Another patient today discharged with no letter!!This is lethal!! and makes GPs job impossible- We know hospitals are busy- so are we - without the discharge we are working in the dark- huge risk for all concerned -#transitionalcare
- Our Health Service has the potential to be great-It is a shambles !!- money thrown at it with little planning- we need more health professionals and less managers- more beds and a more agile work force - coming to the patient & not the other way round- the patient must be centred
- If Health is not the most important issue in this election then I give up- How much longer will Irish patients put up with a dysfunctional service - Ye marched about water- please oh please question all TDs about their intentions with regard to Health #patientsfirst
