Sad to say #Cork had an opportunity to lead with South-West Hospital Group controlling #Waterford & South-East @UHW_Waterford for a decade. Cork politics is simply not mature enough. Starved #waterford, @CorkTrauma overmanned & unproductive, trauma- but not in the way they mean!
David McWilliams: To rebalance a new country, Cork must not just step up but lead, something that generations of Corkonians believe is their destiny. irishtimes.com/opinion/2024/…

Much fitter, much better. And in a homage to different football times, they wanted it much more!

What a disgusting, anti-doctor headline @gnelis & @businessposthq. To suggest that doctors have a stranglehold on the system & that they’re to blame for its problems is either very poor & inaccurate reporting, or a snide & deliberate tabloid-style attack that helps nobody

Those who argue "we spend too much already on health" are blissfully unaware of the scale of the infrastructural deficit we have in the HSE.
Hard to think of many services that aren't in a very fragile equilibrium

My hospital is falling down around our ears and bursting at the seams..... and this year we get.......some air vents.
Our ED is mortifying, it has a single toilet for 100 patients, and for another year @HSELive will talk about building better.

I’m not a hospital consultant. I never will be a hospital consultant. But, WHO in their right mind would sign this contract? No matter the job! To be unilaterally moved anywhere in the country at the whim of a manager, given extra work and oh, your wages might change too!
Rob Landers 🇮🇪 retweeted
Same #ToxicCulture on display from HSE HR. Disappointing in the extreme and doesn’t bode well for future trust and co-operation (and attracting our consultant colleagues home).

So I actually thought we were going to get an agreed consultant contract?
(Because doctors are not the enemy)
And then I get this in my diary.
This is not how to lead and influence people.

Speaking to @rtenews this evening, IHCA Vice President Prof @annedohertypsy discussed how working conditions in our health service are impacting our ability to sufficiently recruit & retain much needed healthcare professionals. #CareCantWait

1/3 The failures identified in the MHC report have once again highlighted the need for more specialists in the mental health services & come as little surprise to consultants working on the frontline on a daily basis. bit.ly/3j0LVVK

I am definitely failing the 'God' bit of being a consultant and I am held accountable for everything, from the waiting room to the ED, to the wards, to the parking.
Feel free to come walk a mile in my shoes if you want to address your fixed beliefs and biases.

‘The consultant is God - and Gods don’t do accountability’. Having audited outcomes of (almost) every mother I have delivered and every woman I have operated on I find this comment crass, offensive and insulting. IT - why this anti-medical rhetoric?

Greetings @DonnellyStephen from the medical consultant on call. Yes, we do work weekends already. Working more weekends will not make any difference if we're not given more resources to safely discharge patients. You should look for advice from people who work in the frontline

Wasn't going to comment on the annual media frenzy in Ireland on the rolling health crisis but the amount of rubbish from so-called experts and politicians gives me no choice. A short 🧵 1/ rte.ie/news/2023/0104/134476… – at Liverpool, England

We have consistently communicated our views to @donnellystephen & Gov on the proposed contract. There are several issues to be addressed & we will now undertake consultation with membership to determine Consultants’ final view on the Donnelly proposal.

Did you know that UHW is the trauma centre for the entire South East? 🩻🦴There was almost 30,000 patients seen in the Orthopaedic outpatients in 2021. Well done to the multidisciplinary team who continue to look at new ways increase access and improve patient care 👏🦴🌈🩻🦴

Great win by @EmmetsCLG in North Kerry senior football final today against Castleisland in Ballylongford
The sign on @JohnBKeaneBar says it all

For the month of October University Hospital Waterford was the busiest per capita in volume and the lowest in wait times making it the best performing hospital. Also significantly reduced waiting lists. Shows what can be done with a patient focused management. @HSELive take note.
