I might just retweet this every day forever - it is SO important that doctors experience the positive effects of having a GP. Self care + Primary care = Healthy Doctor

🎉 Huge congratulations to our #CervicalCheck Screening Training Unit on winning a 2025 #IrishHealthcareAward. Your commitment to high-quality, person-centred care is making a real difference across Ireland. 👏 Read more about it: https://t.co/oXjEKM31lA #ChooseScreening

And they did it! Congratulations @RachaelComer3 @SarahFitzWiMIN @russellnoirin @themightygra Doing @NSShse proud!!

We've just won an #IrishHealthcareAward for Nursing and midwifery project of the year. Our #CervicalCheck Screening Training Unit has built a resilient, responsive and future-focused cervical screening education model. Congratulations to our STU team. #ChooseScreening

Best of luck to the National Screening Service in the Irish Healthcare Awards tonight - rooting for the amazing CervicalCheck Screening Training Unit to get the recognition that they very much deserve!! (and the other great screening projects too, of course) @RachaelComer3

Remember: ✅Screening is for people who are well - if you have worrying symptoms, visit your GP 😢Uptake of bowel screening is low - please encourage everyone in the age range to do the test 😊If you do it once, it is much easier next time round! 💩Bowel cancer is shite, trust me

Health services usually look at high DNA (did not attend) rates as being the "fault" of patients. Wouldn't it be great if the service was planned to suit its users, and adapted to their needs?

We're proud to be one of the Irish partners involved in the @eucanscreen project, working with and learning from our European partners, and sharing our knowledge and expertise to help improve the efficiency of cancer screening programmes across the EU. #ChooseScreening 👇

@med_indonews @SarahFitzWiMIN @HSELive Sarah all so true. Big bugbear for me if I have to change time, cannot get hold of secretary on the phone. Surely unnecessary stressor for pts; & resource waster for hospitals. We need a sociologist to help us do better😉. Don’t get me started on snail mail appointment letters..

@SarahFitzWiMIN @med_indonews @HSELive And usually a variety of reasons for no-show - sick (or admitted to another hospital) on day and couldn't notify in time, thought were for a phone call, couldn't get through to change appt, forgot, unexpected transport issue and the odd not wanting to come.

@SarahFitzWiMIN Exactly this. Or they don't answer in three rings for their virtual OPD ritual. And then struck off. In the end patient always loses 🙄

Cervical screening is for people without symptoms. If you notice bleeding between periods, unusual discharge, pain during sex, or persistent pelvic pain - don’t wait for your next screening. Go to your GP and get the right care for you: https://t.co/u19HXD5I1H

Healthcare services can continue to insist on driving to a schedule that suits them, but only a few people will be able to keep up. The others will either choose a different route, or crash out entirely.

Very proud to remotely join the @MedWomenIntl Executive Committee meeting this morning - @SarahFitzWiMIN is now the Vice President for Northern Europe and excited for what lies ahead (but sad not to be there in person in the King Tut Room!)

I fear that my give-a-shit levels may be heading for an all time low. There is a very real danger that I could just start saying exactly what I think. Duck!!!!

O POSITIVE blood donors are urgently needed Please book an appointment & donate Stocks are very low which really impacts on surgeries going ahead safely It’s a wonderful gift to give Retweet 🙏

I am constantly bouncing from imminent death to endless life (mostly metaphorically, but sometimes literally) and the push and pull of it is exhausting.

I am going to guess that out of all the avocados I open, only about 10% are perfect. Is it just me?

How do we live our lives to the fullest, without killing ourselves in the process? Maybe lying on your bed in grubby pyjamas scrolling through TikTok is actually just as important as paddling along a palm-fringed beach with your perfectly dressed children shrieking in delight

"Sometimes we need permission to be grumpy and ungrateful and selfish. We need to allow ourselves the opportunity to take a day off from being a better person." @SarahFitzWiMIN @med_indonews https://t.co/UoK9UQoqth

I am now banjaxed but happy, and loving the warm glow that every WiMIN event gives me. Thank you to all the lovely WiMIN that keep me going ❤️❤️
