“The College believes that we can do better in providing compassionate care to those who are dying than to introduce assisted suicide and euthanasia in Ireland.” Read the College’s response to the report by the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying. encr.pw/OOHah
Rehabilitation can fix the existential problem of 1/3 of patients getting sicker in hospital. Rehabilitation in tandem with, and especially after, an acute care episode can unblock our hospitals. Not “step down”. Not “convalescence”. Not “transitional care”. Rehabilitation.

Whilst blanket bans are silly, there are innumerable clinical staff hired with no space to see patients, no desk to work at, no admin support to access charts. These hires will not be able to impact wait lists because they are not able to see patients. m.independent.ie/irish-news/pol…

Falls Prevention - Test your blood pressure, balance, and strength at this information event for international #FallsPreventionDay on Friday 22nd September @SligoUniversityHospital #saolta
To mark World #Alzheimers Day today #SUH hosted an event in the Main Foyer of the hospital showcasing some of the wonderful services and supports available to our patients with Dementia and their families in Sligo. Saolta Arts invited harpist Ramona Sakalaustkaite to perform.
There's vitriolic misinformation about CervicalCheck circulating, due to release of Dr Holohan's book 'We Need To Talk'. Very angry people who believe women were not told they had cancer. I thought it's worth writing another thread to try counter these very harmful myths. /1

Assisting someone to die well is a very different thing to administering euthanasia ..our efforts as a humane society should surely concentrate on good care first and access to that good care....legislating for assisted dying is fraught with sinister ethical dangers #primetime
