(4/5) The history of this pandemic will applaud our universities for adapting to this crisis; delivering training along age-old principles but in modern settings. Róisín McDonnell and Hugh Deasy are the doctors of next generation. Their colleagues are our future leaders.

(3/5) Clinical training has been overhauled, with universities moving towards blended learning. Real-life bedside tutorials now take place virtually as well. Consultant Dr. Simon Cronin, with students Kelsie Robinson and Ruth Yan, and service user Aaron Daly from Youghal.

(1/5) A lot has changed since 1711 when the 1st medical school opened but bedside training still remains fundamental. COVID- 19 has tested the flexibility, imagination and innovation of our hospitals and universities – and they have stepped up to the challenge.

A huge congrats to the Final Year Med students on finishing their exams this week! We're so proud of what they've achieved especially in the current climate - they've had to work very hard, and should be extremely proud of themselves! Best of luck in the coming weeks & months! ❤️

There are simple things we each must do to protect ourselves from #COVID19, including 👐 washing with 🧼 & 💦 or alcohol-based rub. WHO is launching the #SafeHands Challenge to promote the power of clean 👐 to fight #coronavirus. Join the challenge & share your 👐 washing video!

The #COVID19 pandemic is a crisis that affects everyone. We must all play our part by showing solidarity with the most vulnerable – the elderly, the sick, those without reliable healthcare. Together, we can overcome the #coronavirus threat.
