Together we can make a difference!

Outrageous.

I finished a 26 hour reg shift this morning. I and everyone on my rota have to do this once a week, as a direct result of not having enough staff, chronically and by design. It is not fair on doctors and it is not safe for patients.

You get what you pay for.

Very kind of my colleagues 🥲 looking forward to the 27th 🤞🏼🎗️ Childhood Cancer Ireland Children's Health Ireland St. Mary's College

Important publication alert: Exciting results for paediatric low grade glioma therapies.

Ethel speaks about her experience of supporting her child in school. It would be fantastic if there was a key worker who could support your child and the school. It's exhausting for parents to relay the same information again and again.

I'm so glad to see these gaps being addressed. The psychology support that we received was minimal. To attempt to cover this gap it became the equivalent of a second mortgage for our family. I've some hope that families will receive better support going forward. #CAYAS2023

Well done to everyone involved in the 3rd annual CAYAS Ireland conference in Croke park today 💙 Fantastic panels & workshops 🎗️

Unfortunately no progress on the zero support provided after treatment. Let's hope the progress continues survivors deserve better. It will be a conversation I have with everyone that knocks on my door for a vote. Children and young people deserve better. #CAYAS2023
