This is a terrible reminder, if one were needed, that behind the dreadful growth in numbers are countless personal tragedies. Donal was a fantastic guy to work with, who was right at the heart of the College and it’s response to the pandemic. This is so incredibly sad.
We're devastated to announce that our registrar, colleague & friend Professor Donal O'Donoghue died last night from
#COVID19

Our thoughts are with his family & loved ones. He will be missed terribly.

I have worked as a doctor in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe & USA. But the only place I saw a child with a brain tumour turfed out of hospital with no treatment because they had no insurance was in the USA. Pls retweet to

Peggy’s fur got in such a tangle (no visit today the groomers during lockdown) that she had to have it shaved off. Now she is feeling very sorry for herself!
