A great advocate for us colorectal cancer patients in Ireland - a huge loss for our growing community. Shocked to read that 4 times more women die of bowel than cervical cancer in Ireland. HSE Ireland need better screening & awareness. Waited a year for colonoscopy, diagnosed stage3

Sarah Fitzgibbon Our condolences to Patricia's family and friends. We recently received a powerful letter from Patricia advocating for measures to support the early diagnosis of CRC in Ireland, including in people below the screening age. It is published in our current edition.

So sorry to hear this. Patricia was an incredible patient advocate - you can read her passion and commitment in the letter below, published in the current edition of Medical Independent. May she rest in peace.

Really looking forward to speaking at this webinar next week. Healthcare is complex and unpredictable and adverse outcomes are common. A just culture is really important. How we care for staff so that they can care for patients- some observations from #CervicalCheck crisis

Please consider this amazing group if you have a stage 4 diagnosis. Not just women, not just Breast Cancer. For ALL living with an advanced cancer. It's such a warm and safe space and like a 2nd family 💖

On top of suffering the ignominy of having to fly into Dublin airport, I then encountered an absolute bollix of an Aircoach man.
Forgive me, Cork Airport, for straying from you ☺️

Unconscious bias.

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

Very lovely surroundings on the Camino de Santiago

Sarah Fitzgibbon This is actually more blanket than...Thalidomide authorisation for prescription..(yes, still used in some very specific indications and strict pregnancy prevention programme) - does accept menopause as a reason not to do pregnancy test 🙄

I had already picked this as my favourite #MetGala look, and sure now I know why! 🤣

I have two tickets to see the absolute genius that is Hollie McNish in Cork on Thurs; unfortunately I can’t go so they are available for free for anyone who can!

If you’ve undergone cancer screening, or performed it as a medical professional, your story matters! 🔊

Your experience – whether positive or negative – will drive progress in cancer screening programmes. 🔬

Fantastic publication to demonstrate further the safety profile of localised vulvovaginal oestrogen in women post breast cancer with symptoms such as vulval itch, burning, painful sex, urinary frequency and urgency.

Sometimes patients tell me they feel exhausted all the time, and when I say, 'how do you feel after your nap?', they look at me aghast.
Many Irish people are nap-averse, and I feel bad for them.
