Thanks to everyone who contacted me after this interview. Sure I’m grand 😉

This would be a huge improvement if it happens in a way than makes all records available irrespective of where a patient arrives in their emergency. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

The practice of coordinating, consulting and managing an entire acute clinical service in real-time is fairly unique to emergency medicine. Central to this is the EPiC (or emergency physician in charge).

Great day as a candidate at BFUS. Wonderful patience shown to this ‘older adult learner’. Thanks niall collum

Someone I think very highly of gave me this today. Means a lot. None of us are frogs. 😊

I remember those stairs.

Sean is a decent man. Congratulations.

⁦Sarah Fitzgibbon⁩ I knew I recognised it.

Sarah. Thanks for loaning this book to me. All true for 2007. Some things in Irish healthcare better since then and some worse.
