A flying visit to RCSI in Dublin where our @UL, @QUBelfast, @HSELive research work was highlighted. Halloween is coming and so if looking for an alternative to Stephen King, here you go ... https://t.co/E0qaHhb0QG

Come join us ⁦@UL⁩ School of Medicine.

Our friend Mark Dixon is being laid to rest today. Mark was a gentleman and a scholar. He founded the Paramedic degree in Ireland and his research changed practice, impacting patient care daily. His legacy lives on but we will miss him dearly. Ni bheidh a leithéid ann arís

Honoured to be among the Top 2% of Scientists (according to Stanford). Thank you to the friends, collaborators, patients and staff in universities, research institutes, funding agencies, hospitals and primary care who make our work relevant and my professional role so enjoyable!

Great to be recognised on top 2% Scientists 🌏 along with my colleagues @MedicineAtUL. Our research teams are committed to improving #GlobalHealth and #KidneyHealth for all individuals through impactful research. @UL @HSEMidWest @Johncalvincoffe https://t.co/FtLam37rB8

Reflection is important allowing recognition of hard work & lessons learnt. In 2024/25 @MedicineAtUL⁩ ⁦completed significant accreditation processes, announced a new medical Degree and started academic programme & building expansions. 25/26 brings more ambition ⁦@UL⁩

At the end of the ⁦@MedicineAtUL⁩ school year we acknowledge excellence in teaching. It was a pleasure to present a School of Medicine award for 2025 to Hannah Lee ⁦@UL⁩

It was a pleasure to present Thamir Mahgoub with a School of Medicine award for Excellence in Teaching acknowledging his enthusiasm and support for the next generation of doctors ⁦@UL⁩ ⁦⁦@MedicineAtUL⁩

There is a clear alignment between third level institutions and healthcare systems. This is as true internationally as in Ireland. I had the opportunity to discuss some aspects of this in a broad interview @UL @HSELive Available on Youtube. https://t.co/MERQhRySW9

It was a pleasure to contribute to this @HSELive webinar, and to share how medical education and research at @UL enable improvements in patient care.

The academic year is busy and there are few opportunities for us who work primarily across different university campuses, GP practices & hospitals to meet. Graduation Day is special. We celebrate and are proud of the new doctors, from Ireland and further afield. Congratulations!!

Supervising PhD candidates is a privilege as they realise their potential to make significant contributions to knowledge and society. I was very proud to support and guide Dr James Baden Powell. Like his namesake, prepared for more amazing achievements Congratulations Dr Powell!

It was a pleasure to see Dr Ruth O’Connor conferred with a PhD at University of Limerick graduations. As co-supervisor, I was part of a team aiding Ruth as she developed new insights into microbial involvement in tumour microenvironments. That’s exciting! Congrats Dr O’Connor!!!

It was a pleasure to contribute to this series of podcasts. Lessons learned when commercialising intellectual property / launching spin-outs allow us begin the next adventures from a more knowledgable position https://t.co/523TZNfQJe

It was a pleasure to share the Solopep journey, and the excitement of our new propositions in Crohn’s disease / ulcerative colitis diagnosis and real-time anaesthetic monitoring from @UL

⁦⁦@UL⁩ @QUBelfast⁩ ⁦@HSEMidWest⁩ #OneHealth comprehensive study published today in ⁦⁦@Eurosurveillanc⁩ showing improvement (Yes improvement!) in antimicrobial resistance in Ireland across hospitals & veterinary. Good news, Yay!

Long live the #AmtrakFederation If you know, you probably read Patrick Tilley’s books in the 80s

As @UL has migrated from X to other social media, my posts will now mainly be @bluesky using the same user name. Come say Hello!

Looking forward to welcoming our wonderful colleague Prof Roy Philip to UHL for Grand Rounds this Friday to speak about his fascinating research on breastfeeding.
