Usually a bit of a wallflower on twitter but this intensely personal issue moves me to speak out. Very sad that my boys will have their legal relationship to me erased when we move back to Ireland post fellowship. #stillnotequal @SimonHarrisTD

Consultant recruitment is “in crisis”. We are hiring non specialist doctors to fill gaps. This unpublished (until today) report is a savage indictment of the government’s record in health. It tells the truth. #fightforfairness #carecantwait

Over 500 approved permanent consultant posts are vacant or filled on a temporary or agency basis. ‘No other sector in the economy has that number of approved posts they cannot fill,’ Secretary General Martin Varley tells IHCA members at #IHCA2018 in Galway.

TURP numbers massively down in Ireland and training is negatively affected. Of the last 10 NTPF TURPs/PVP I have done, 6 had catheters in for between 1.5-5 yrs. 1) Not suitable as training cases 2) Terrible for the patient #ISU18
