Today #InternationalParamedicsDay #IPD2023 We HSE Ireland are proud of our National Ambulance Service 🇮🇪🚑 where I was delighted to visit & meet Wednesday. Also thanks to partners Dublin Fire Brigade & the many voluntary & private ambulance crews we work with. Cathal O'Donnell Look forward to meeting some

At #SAPC2023 listening to Tomás Barry and the work he’s been involved with PHECC in Ireland in developing a #communityparamedic framework 🇮🇪 His thoughts are that #paramedics are holding the cracks in health & social care services together - whether in #primarycare or 🚑

Very sad to see Niamh Fitzpatrick have to defend herself on this platform, a person who has always spread kindness and very wise thoughtful caring words! Remember folks if you have nothing nice to say then it would be always better to say nothing!!

Our staff do not expect to be abused, insulted or threatened - that is #NotPartOfTheJob #yoursafetymatters

Looking forward to presenting next week at this fantastic event.

Well done folks, it's such a vital topic for all in health care to understand. Have plans on how to manage and prevent it and LISTEN TO THE PERSON, before, during and after an episode.
