Let’s get some momentum going behind this here in Ireland too #RighttoRehab. Thank you to our colleagues in the BGS for this report

My goodness there's some amount of racists on the ballot papers this year.

The economy is booming. This is a massive surplus. Let’s finally tackle our broken children’s disability therapies, services for children in the care system and support for carers. Additional €8.3bn in resources for use in Budget 2025 via @RTENews rte.ie/news/business/…

While we welcome the recruitment freeze being lifted - which IASLT and HSCPs have advocated for it has resulted in serious impacts on SLT services with no recruitment or replacement of posts for 11 months. Teams have faced significant staffing vacancies of as much as 45%.

Hard to imagine a future where this disease doesn't dominate Irish Paediatric units for months of the year. Here's hoping... #RSV #vaccine www2.hse.ie/conditions/rsv…

Delighted to fly into (sunny and gorgeous?!) Glasgow for the 2024 International Paediatric Brain Injury Society conference. Looking forward to presenting and learning over the next few days. #IPBIS2024

Dear Fine Gael and Fine Fail. We need infrastructural investment in health, transport and housing. The 🍎money will be gone, the foreign investment may well vanish and we will still need to look after everyone. I am a bit nervous. Any reassurances would be great.

Leaving Glasgow this evening after a few great days at #IPBIS2024, to which Irish paediatric ABI rehabilitation services made a significant contribution with over 20 pieces of work presented across NRH Foundation, Children's Health Ireland Jobs and Acquired Brain Injury Ireland. The future is bright! #rehabilitation

"Man in charge of country calls for someone to reform things." 🙄

Brilliant news. I see lots of the usual antivax responses from people who seem to be pro-misery in children; if they'd seen how sick this can make some kids they might feel differently. "Sure didn't we all get chickenpox, and I'm fine" is Neanderthal thinking.

Absolutely delighted to see HealthResearchBoard fund Dr Ailish Malone's study on rehab after brain tumours in childhood, which will involve collaboration across RCSI, NRH Foundation, Children's Health Ireland and others. Future getting brighter all the time! #rehabilitation rcsi.com/dublin/news-an…

This has been doubly useful as a post- spreading good news, and a honey trap for the conspiracy theorist woo-peddlers! Thanks for making my job of blocking and muting so easy 👍 #VaccinesCauseAdults

Alright folks, I'm out. A solid week of relentlessly blocking follows from bot accounts on a site that's neither fun nor useful anymore. I'm off to Bluesky, come find me there. #bluesky #goodbyetw
