1/10🇮🇪 #1 – Clean Energy for Ireland!!!
Nuclear power produces zero carbon emissions at point of generation. If Ireland is serious about net zero, it’s time to talk seriously about nuclear. #ClimateAction #NuclearIreland
📉 #10 – Climate Deadlines Are Looming

Seems like a terrific service. Misleading headline. Perhaps an alternative? 100% of GP chest pain referrals required investigations not immediately available to GP.
"Less than 1% of GP chest pain referrals were having a heart attack. The ED was not the appropriate place for the majority of these patients."
Shirley Ingram, an Advanced Nurse Practitioner has established a Community Chest Pain Clinic in Tallaght University Hospital. The clinic is an alternative to the Emergency Department for non-acute chest pain patients.

Riding a roller coaster could help you pass a kidney stone.
After multiple people reported they had passed a kidney stone while riding Walt Disney World's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride, a research team from Michigan State University decided to investigate the phenomena in 2016. They conducted tests with a model kidney and found that there was a 64 percent kidney stone pass rate for those seated in the rear of the Thunder Mountain ride. That number was just 16 percent for those seated in the front.
Chloramphenicol drops allowed again for the under 2s. (With caution)

Aaaaand we're done! Another vaccine clinic just finished and 250 odd happy faces leaving the surgery. All at @CentreKinsealy just honoured to play our small part in all this. Now. Time for pie. 😋
Hit the nail on the head Amy!

Usually means the person giving the instruction is most suitable to carry out the task themselves.
