If you or your family feel unwell, consider all healthcare options so you can get the right care, from the right place.
Our 1st #IPC Bug Buster Bulletin of 2026 features @TUH_Tallaght annual de-cluttering day(a chance for all areas to do a Spring Clean) how to distinguish between a cold and #Flu and a feature on Norovirus as its incidence rises.
Wishing all our wonderful colleagues in @TUH_Tallaght a Healthy and Happy Christmas.
