Peeps i cannot tell you the peace a good death brings to a broken heart. My beautiful dad is finally back with the love of his life. He lived a full life with dementia bcoz @sjdementia model of care demands it. He had a good death bcoz that is the last demonstration of love /2

So last week i had two exp of @AmbulanceNAS . I can honestly say its the one element of healthcare we have right. Not taking from other elements of the service but credit where its due. Person centered professional autonomous. @cathal1972 @NasDirector #takeabow

One of the things wearing me down during COVID is awful ageist media narrative. They both dismiss and cause fear mongering amongst our older population. They portray experts in gerontology as less expert We need to change this narrative. What can we do tho? #myfutureolderself

Latest research from @tilda_tcd demonstrates that a persons level of frailty can be dynamic and therefore the care provided by healthcare professionals will and can make a difference. #bethedifference

So Paddy, @paddycosgrave , we have never met personally or professionally. I don't do spin and aim to be straight with the public. You have your view and I have my responsibilities as CEO of @HSELive , which I cherish. Throwing rocks from the sideline doesnt help anyone #COVID19
