rcem.ac.uk/wp-content/upload… This report by the All Party Parlimentary Group on Emergency Care went under the radar yesterday (the media was distracted) but contains some really important information. A rambling thread 1/n

A short seven years (!) after I started writing the code, it’s great to see this paper published. We use high-frequency NHS to data show that short-staffed, less experienced nursing teams deliver worse outcomes – with the largest mortality impacts for patients with sepsis.

🚨New @tilda_tcd study. How prevalent are modifiable dementia risk factors in Ireland 🧠 🇮🇪? 12-year observational study in community-dwelling older adults. Massive opportunity to optimise brain health for many!! @drnire @RoseAnnekenny1 @alzheimersocirl bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/1…

Delighted to see our study published today in @BMJ_Open Available at bmjopen.bmj.com/content/bmjo…

Congratulations @McGarveyCaoimhe on the publication of this fantastic paper @BMJ_Open. "This study identifies a powerful opportunity to act on dementia prevention." Read the paper "How prevalent are modifiable dementia risk factors in Ireland?" here: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/1…

🧠 Great to see @IrishTimes coverage of new TILDA research showing that tackling treatable risks like hearing loss, inactivity & high cholesterol could prevent thousands of cases of dementia in Ireland. irishtimes.com/health/2025/1… #TILDA #BrainHealth #DementiaPrevention (1/3)

great from @docib bmj.com/content/390/bmj.r205… - do join the @rcgp overdiagnosis group. What is a 'normal' level of error, an 'acceptable' and 'optimal' level of harm - both in terms over and under overdiagnosis and treatment: problem is that counting is often in only one direction

Today we launch the TILDA Wave 6 Report: Shaping the Future: Longitudinal Trends and Opportunities for Transformation in Health and Social Care in Ireland! Read the full report: bit.ly/3V7rMNa #TILDA #HealthyAgeing #HealthResearch #SocialCare @tcddublin

We love this ❤️ 👏 93-year-old St Patrick’s Athletic fan Johnny King pictured outside Richmond Park before attending last Friday’s Dublin Derby against Bohemians Thanks for the support, Johnny 🤝 #StPatsFC 🔴⚪️ 📸 @sportsfile

Letter to the Editor: Kathleen McLoughlin from Roscrea, Co Tipperary writes about the restorative power of the care her 90-year-old mother receives and the value of home care. irishtimes.com/opinion/lette…

Tax breaks were given to developers of private nursing homes by successive governments- the estimated cost of the State subsidy was €10 billion. Investors were attracted by tax breaks, rather than an interest or understanding of older people and their care #RTEInvestigates

The Professors vs Final Med Students Annual Soccer Match kicked off this afternoon in glorious sunshine - Herbert Park. We'll get back with the final winning team soon #ThisIsTrinityMed @tcddublin

RESEARCH ARTICLE: Hypotensive Episodes on 24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure and Cognitive Function: Insights From the SPRINT Study @spjuraschek @PDrawz ahajrnls.org/43EZA9T

Our new @Age_and_Ageing paper shows how ABPM biomarkers predict future falls in older people: - x4 increase in falls if dips in sBP below 100 - 3% falls reduction for every 1 mmHg increase in lowest sBP value - Higher morning surge --> more falls academic.oup.com/ageing/arti…

MISA was established through philanthropic funds to be a national exemplar and test bed for models of clinical care delivery and seamless acute/community services for older persons. The 4 pillars - clinical research education creativity - are the first working model for An Academic Health Sciences Campus in Ireland. AP and Chuck Feeney knew that ageism is common in hospital systems hence they created a dedicated facility to safegaurd quality care for older patients. This legacy must be protected and nurtured.

We're delighted to welcome the Irish SpRs in Geriatric Medicine for a day of education & training in clinical updates & new service models for which #MISA is recognised 🏥 #education

A fantastic @RCPI_news SpR education day for geriatric medicine trainees covering the whole spectrum of falls, syncope and vestibular assessment with practical sessions and great talks from @RoseAnnekenny1 @rob__briggs @amandahlavan @conalcunningham to name a few! #fasu #thanks

Flying the flag for #fasu @stjamesdublin and @TCDGerontology too!!
