@YellowpackC Aislinn Sherwin Department of Health Sláintecare Stephen Donnelly Our Trade Union will only be able to represent us with strength in negotiations on this “contract” if it represents the majority of doctors. Time to join/ rejoin/ renew Irish Medical Organisation membership. imo.ie/join-now/form/ Divided we fail, and our patients are failed.
@YellowpackC Irish Medical Organisation IHCA the process of advertising #Slán2Care jobs has begun. The question is now: what should doctors who have trained for these roles since they were 18 years of age do now? We, as a medical community need a robust plan NOW.
irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4033… thank you Darragh Bermingham for highlighting our concerns so clearly re Sláintecare IHCA Irish Medical Organisation @YellowpackC
A medical service shouldn't even exist without proper clinical governance. Consultant recruitment is essential for this process. HSE Ireland the time to start increasing consultant numbers, by whatever means required, is now Stephen Donnelly @YellowpackC #patientsafety #doctorsafety
@YellowpackC Senator James Reilly Leo Varadkar Simon Harris TD Stephen Donnelly IHCA Agree entirely. All of this was predicted and forewarned in 2012 & communicated unequivocally to Senator James Reilly and Department of Health I also feel uncomfortable with this junior doctor who was acknowledged as hard-working & unsupervised being “thrown under the bus” Irish Medical Organisation IHCA
Toni Anderson @YellowpackC Ciarán Halpin Eoin Kelleher IrishHealthInsider @Antcon7062 Alan Marrinan Yep, can verify this was the policy in said hospital #freelabourbefore9am

😷Miriam O'Callaghan @YellowpackC Paul Reid Stephen Donnelly The HSE’s modus operandi is ‘first do no harm to oneself’.
With every crisis, they find a person (usually a doctor) to scapegoat so that they can manipulate the media and general population into thinking that this is a ‘bad egg’ problem rather than a massive systemic failure
excellent piece on the state of the Irish health 'service'

@YellowpackC Ciarán Halpin Eoin Kelleher IrishHealthInsider @Antcon7062 Alan Marrinan In my intern year despite starting work on surgical teams at 6.30 am and medical teams at 8am, our pay clock didn’t start till 9am. For a whole year. And I did grad Med so I have that big loan that I’m still paying off 7 years later
@YellowpackC Ciarán Halpin Eoin Kelleher IrishHealthInsider @Antcon7062 Alan Marrinan Did a 30+hr shift as an intern in 2014 on a surgical rotation cos they couldn't find a locum to come at 0800 on Sunday.
Worked 19 days straight just cos that was the roster (no swaps).
Back of the line for training jobs cos I'm non-EU, despite an Irish med degree + internship 🤷
@YellowpackC Ciarán Halpin Eoin Kelleher IrishHealthInsider @Antcon7062 Alan Marrinan Had a nasty vomiting bug as an SHO.Forced a horrified housemate to cannulate me discretely,kept it (preciously!) for a week & worked 13 hour days NPO,hanging bags of saline off my headboard overnight as couldn’t take time off.He’s worked in the US for the past 5 years & I’m a GP!
Irwin Gill Gerard Crotty 🇺🇦 Слава Україні! @YellowpackC Ciarán Halpin Eoin Kelleher IrishHealthInsider @Antcon7062 Alan Marrinan Similarly in another hospital, about 10 years ago now, I walked into their HR office to find that our overtime sheets were being photocopied with a blank sheet underneath covering the overtime section to make it look it was never filled.
@YellowpackC Ciarán Halpin Eoin Kelleher IrishHealthInsider @Antcon7062 Alan Marrinan Already mentioned by Alan Marrinan UHL & HSE management refusing to pay intern overtime. We met with them only to be accused of lying on our timesheets so we could pay our loans off (lots of us UL GEMS stupidly stayed that year). Made leaving to work in the US very easy…
@YellowpackC Stephen Donnelly And saying they’re not but also saying that the interview process will be terminated if the interviewee doesn’t agree during the interview process to a contract that isn’t written and they haven’t seen. Have I got that right?!
