Last day to apply #teamof6

Already running at very stretched services...patients and staff bear the suffering as usual

Last night in #PedsICU I saw parents expecting their babies w #RSV to be cared for, to live So we suctioned, rested on ventilation, gave antibiotics & oxygen, fed milk into tired tummies It’s the right thing to do 💕 How can babies in #Gaza be seen differently?

Some organisations (rightly?) ignoring the freeze altogether. Some appearing to, yet appointments being made at higher management level. Others adhering fully. 🤦‍♂️ make it make sense #HSE

Services being affected badly at the frontline in many places because of the embargo. If the rules aren't being applied evenly and fairly that's a big problem.

Love a toy shop for my #CHD smallies courtesy of very generous donations from my CHD families, supporting and promoting developmental play while in hospital and beyond ❤️

This morning finished a week covering #PedsICU for 112 hrs 😳 Some thoughts: - providing care to critically ill children & their families is a huge privilege ❤️ - their strength is awe-inspiring 🤩😍 - investing in children makes sense for our country 1/6 #hope
