Delighted to present a lightning talk at #ISQUA2026 today on Ireland’s National Clinical Audit Management System (NCAMS) & Portal. Our key takeaway: NCAMS is an enabler of clinical governance, not simply a tech project. #HSENCCA #HSENQPS #HCI #ClinicalAudit #PatientSafety
Powerful insight @ISQua Conference by @MaryDixonWoods of the importance of understanding data to drive decision making & patient safety. #ISQUA2026 #patientsafety #DatadrivenDecisionMaking

Don’t let your life 'narrow'.
I’ve been an orthopedic surgeon for 30 years. The thing I watch happen to people — more than any injury or surgery — is what I call the narrowing.
Most of my patients have no idea it’s happening. They think it’s just aging. It’s not...

It’s been a great couple of days for Team Charlestown, with winners at @DundalkStadium on Friday night and Navan on Saturday!
𝗕𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗼 got us off the mark for the new flat season with an early winner at Dundalk. A great job in the saddle from @BenCoen2 Coen for owner Cristiana Rodrigues 🏆
The weekend got even better when 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗱𝗮𝗻 notched his fourth win for us at Navan - he’s been a super servant for his owner-breeders Pat McCormack and Sarah Glynn.
Hats off to our own Eoghan Finegan on bringing him home in front 👏

Hi to everyone seeing this. This is Féile, she is 13 and had a life altering farming accident last July. She is very courageous and in great spirits. Her friends and family are raising money for her through
1. Golf Outing on 16th/17th/18th of April which is sold out( but I believe hole sponsorship and raffle prizes are still available)
2. A school jersey day, Friday March 20th, where kids wear their favourite jersey to school and donate 1 or 2 euro. They are really hoping for schools everywhere to participate in this.
If you’d like to support this great cause particularly by getting your school to join the Jersey Day on March 20th. Follow the Link below or just go to gaacork.ie.

“I’m 100 years old, and I adopted a 14-year-old dog whose family asked the shelter to put him down—just because he was “too old.” My name is Margaret, and most people think someone my age shouldn’t adopt a pet. But when I heard about Benson, a 14-year-old senior surrendered to a Texas shelter, I knew I wanted him. His family had asked the staff to euthanize him for no reason other than age. The shelter refused, believing he still had life left. When I met Benson, he leaned his head into my chest as if he already knew me. A senior dog and a senior woman—we connected instantly. Now Benson spends his days napping beside me, wearing sweaters to stay warm, and following me from room to room. People say I rescued him, but I disagree. Benson rescued me from loneliness. We’re giving each other a kind, calm final chapter.“
