A low-key kick-off to our Irish campaign 1) for all Irish health insurers to provide access to cancer immunotherapies recommended by our oncologists immediately; 2) for fair access to immunotherapies in the public system; 3) Ireland to tax plan for future CAR-T & miRNA therapy.

Today was the "soft-launch" of our media campaign to get all Irish health insurers fund cancer immunotherapy #FundImmuno . I have been overwhelmed with the support (over 5000 shares in a day, just on LinkedIn). Thank you. @LayaHealthcare do us right!

🧵 1/@LayaHealthcare why are you not funding life saving EMA approved immunotherapy (that is funded by @VHI) for my colleague Prof Bernie Mahon @FundImmuno ? All Laya customers should be aware of this? @DonnellyStephen @SimonHarrisTD @NSAI_Standards @MichealMartinTD @HIAuthority

#Parenting is probably one of the most fulfilling but challenging jobs any of us #workingmums can do. As a parent of an adult child I know my love, worries and fears are as intense now as when he was tiny but my power to help has changed #WomenInSTEM

While anyone can develop #lupus (including children & men), 9 out of 10 people who have lupus are women. In honor of #IWD2023, we celebrate the strength of all the incredible #lupuswarriors impacted by this disease. Your resilience inspires us & we’ll never stop fighting for you.
