We knew what was coming in February. We locked down in March, to flatten the curve and allow time and investment to take place to ensure we improved capacity in ICU, outpatient departments, hospital beds. And what’s been done so far ?

Imagine you knew you were dying and yet couldn’t meet, talk, laugh, cry, with your family and loved ones. About a third of our 30k+ NH residents in Ireland die each year and many haven’t gotten to see their families, spouses, friends in many months- despite calling out for them!

1. An NCHD has often been trained for up to 20 years. 2. We loose them in their droves. 3. They have phenomenal skill. 4. We should do a better of job of minding them to make them want to work here. #StandingUp4NCHDs

It’s a small indignity, but I remember when some Irish hospitals tried to deny some NCHDs the covid vaccine in January 2020 because it was close to changeover and they didn’t want to “waste” vaccine doses on their transient NCHD workforce. #StandingUp4NCHDs
