A bright “fresh” morning at HQ @AVIVAStadium for the start of our 3rd level 2 course this season. We welcome 34 docs and physios for the day under the watchful eye of @ryanjtw
Inspired by the latest article by @GretchenReynold in @NYTHealth about how even initially reluctant adults discover how pleasant HIIT can be, I wanted to share some tips for colleagues who review related manuscripts. This is what to look for. A thread...

“I wear a mask to help protect you. Please wear a mask to help protect me.” A teenager with cystic fibrosis urges people to use face coverings 😷 (Tap for best view on mobile)
Public health advice recommends that we should wear face coverings on public transport and in indoor spaces like supermarkets & other shops. It is an additional measure we can take to protect each other from #Covid19 & becomes more important as we begin to reopen our country

This is a significant announcement. We can save hundreds of lives this winter and every winter by a much greater uptake of the flu vaccine. This matters more as we need to avoid a second wave Covid concurrent with the flu season
I have decided to make flu vaccine free to all children aged 2-12 this year & all of those in the defined at-risk groups from 6 months to 69 years. All persons aged over 70 already have access without charges. This expanded free access is really important in context of #Covid19
Everyone needs to stay at home to help slow the spread of #COVID19 and to protect ourselves and others from the virus. If you're over 70 or have a serious medical condition you should stay at home at all times - this is called cocooning. #ItsInOurHandsyoutu.be/QZD7SHmVhA4
A good way to show importance of social distancing. Video from Ohio. We stay apart to keep each other safe. We stay apart to show we care. We stay apart to help our doctors & nurses. We stay apart to save lives. Keep at it & let’s get the job done #COVID19
Last week Ireland adopted tough additional measures designed to limit the spread of #COVID19.
It has been a truly nationwide effort to stop the spread of this virus & to protect the vulnerable. We need to keep it going. We need to #FlattenTheCurve even more than we have.
Good news for GPs & pharmacists! New prescription regs signed by @SimonHarrisTD today: all prescriptions can now be sent electronically via #healthmail without needing signed paper Rx. Will make life easier for all concerned, inc patients #progress @eHealthIreland @HSELive
