Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS. I think this is a national scandal. Please RT if you do too 🙏

Great opportunity. Daire recorded an interview with John Toal today to be broadcast on Classical Connections on BBC Radio Ulster on Sunday including the piece he composed on this programme last year. Daire & his friends in National Youth Choir Northern Ireland - NYCNI recorded it at this year’s Senior Concert. 🎼👍

Enroute from Ireland to speak tomorrow at RSNA 2024. Following on from my talk in 2022, Human Factors is a steadily growing presence in healthcare worldwide. Applying an aviation safety framework could transform the industry, benefitting staff, patients & management alike.

Thank you to RSNA for inviting me back to share our Human Factors message at #RSNA2024 Acknowledging our fallibility and the need to design our systems to account for that is the foundation of our aviation safety framework and is equally applicable to healthcare.

Delighted to be in Whitworth Hall, Manchester on Saturday to see my daughter, Aoife conduct the University of Manchester Symphony Orchestra and the Ad Solem Choir. The finish line of her Music degree is rapidly approaching then hopefully on to a long and fulfilling career.

A very long taxi out to Runway 31L, the departure runway in JFK last night allowed us a super view of one of the Queens of the Sky, an increasingly rare beast nowadays touching down on Runway 31R & then a great shot of the airport with New York in the background on our way home.
