What a fantastic celebration of all that Mary Walsh and team have accomplished with #HipFORGE I remain in awe of everything my good friend & colleague Mary has achieved! #HipCog is lucky to have her as a collaborator

A new version of our #HipCog protocol is available after a helpful round of #PeerReview Diagnostic accuracy of screening tools for the detection of neurocognitive disorders in older adults post-trauma: systematic review protocol hrbopenresearch.org/articles/7-33/… #HipFracture HRB Open Research

Did you know that 16th – 20th September is Falls Prevention Week? To highlight this, HSE Community Healthcare East's Older Persons Services will host a series of lunchtime webinars as outlined below. Register now by contacting [email protected]



Really looking forward to presenting at this event! Facilitating the inclusion of long-term outcome recording in the National Office of Clinical Audit #IHFD is one of my proudest impacts from #HipFORGE HealthResearchBoard 😊. This is the 1st annual report showing outcomes including 30-day residence and mobility

In the Seanad last week, Paul Gavan raised the urgent issue of PostDoc Researchers at University College Dublin. Precarious working conditions ⏳ cannot continue—our researchers deserve fair contracts ✍️ and job security 🔒. It's time for real change!

I’m honored to be part of this project. #Delirium remains underreported and #CognitiveScreening is key - Hip Fracture Registries play a major role in this. Open access & peer comments in the link shared by Niamh Merriman below.




Further traction from our #postdocExperience survey - a Nature article nature.com/articles/d4158… People feel and understand our frustrations. Comparisons made here with Denmark - where postdoc salary is higher and childcare is 60% cheaper! UCD Research UCD Equality Diversity & Inclusion UCD Research Careers

📣 Published! This review led by Niamh Merriman 🇮🇪 evaluated how national hip fracture registries capture delirium & cognitive data 📊64% collect delirium data 📊82% cognitive data 🚨 Variation in tools & reporting. 🔗 tinyurl.com/4rmp8bmv #HealthDataScience #medtwitter


DRAT Members Ray and Kevin are thrilled to collaborate with Niamh Merriman, exploring how people living with dementia or cognitive difficulties recover long-term after hip fracture. Their perspectives are vital to shaping care that truly supports recovery beyond hospital. #PPI
