A little bit shocked right now! Honoured to be named one of top activists to watch out for in 2022 for health and disability. It is a great reaffirmation to know that the work I do matters. Thank you to the @Independent_ie

Hello! Here's an article I wrote for @thejournal_ie. Most people in Ireland pay the full price of seeing a GP (as well as taxes, and private health insurance). In this regard, we are an outlier in Europe. 'Universal GP care for Ireland is long overdue'

Dr Domhnall McGlacken-Byrne reacts to this month’s editorial in The Lancet Regional Health, which called Ireland ‘an outlier in primary healthcare’.

1 year ago, I had 3 heart surgeries in the Mater Hospital. Today I got the all clear from my cardiologist. I often get labelled “inspirational,brave,strong etc” but I don’t see it that way at all. I’m just a person who just so happens to have illness taking it one step at a time

Today I was tutted at when parking in a disabled space. I had all these tubes hidden under my clothes, so I looked like a young, healthy person. But in reality, I still have a disability, despite choosing to hide my tubes. Friendly reminder that most disabilities are invisible!

So happy to be going home from hospital just in time for New Years 🎆🎉🎇✨ I will probably need more surgery in 2022 which is okay, chronic health is a journey not a destination ❤️
