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. 😋

Consequence for having a Washington Post journalist chopped up into pieces? Nothing.

Many of the most vulnerable people in the country on Illness Benefit have had their payment suddenly reduced or stopped completely. Nobody can get through to the relevant section of the Dept. When is the Min for Social Protection going to sort out this mess? @fiannafailparty

THREAD In July 2018, a horrifying video began to circulate on social media. 2 women & 2 young children are led away by a group of soldiers. They are blindfolded, forced to the ground, and shot 22 times. #BBCAfricaEye investigated this atrocity. This is what we found...

In the absence of any hope that GP would be supported in time to rescue my own mental and physical health- I have resigned. @SimonHarrisTD @susmitchellSBP @campaignforleo nitter.gq/mhartytd/status/101754…
Replying to @mhartytd
2. Active engagement between @NAGPIrl and @SimonHarrisTD on New Contract discussions over past 8 months = no meetings!! But lots of burnt out GPs and deserted practices. @roinnslainte antagonistic view of General Practice is very difficult to understand.

An opportunity for a great story, how a convicted T.D. holds onto his seat while the same judge 3 weeks ago put away our local GP, we need someone to highlight this #freedrsam @Independent_ie @thejournal_ie @rteliveline @IrishTimes @rtenews @SkyNews @TV3Ireland @MailOnline

#Britsplaining explained. Irish people having to listen to British Brexiteer politicians explain Ireland to us when they've no idea! The main qualification for a #britsplainer appears to be never having been to Ireland at all! What's your best #britsplaining example?

Leo getting this one very wrong. FG incessantly tell us they fixed the economy and that the emergency is over. Well so should the emergency measures be over. nitter.gq/icgpnews/status/980743… – at Dublin City, Ireland
"GPs will not get funding restored ‘for nothing’, says Varadkar" - Financial emergency is over. - We've taken on more work (e.g. U6s). - There's a recruitment crisis. - GP is underfunded V European comparators. - Our contract was designed pre Modern Medicine. #reverseFEMPI now nitter.gq/IrishTimes/status/9806…

Happy Doctor's Day! + Never accept a new responsibility without dropping 2 + Never take on an administrative task unless it pays part of your salary + You have worked while others played and carry burdens few will ever see. Your health and happiness is important. ❤️

Simple question Simon & Leo @SimonHarrisTD @campaignforleo Why will you not reverse FEMPI(Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest) in General Practice now that the recession/emergency is over?Why is it still in place? Trying 2 understand your anti-patient/doc mindset!

What would you say to your daughter if, in 20 years' time , she develops cervical cancer and she asks you why she wasn't vaccinated in school? This thought would haunt me #hpv #vaccineswork

Ex Minister 4 Health created current Medical Practitioners Act with draconian & costly powers promotes online GP services & benefits from it also. No continuity , no examination, blind prescribing antibiotics, & sale of work certification. No comment ? rte.ie/news/business/2017/10…
