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.

Older adults and people with underlying conditions: Keep regular routines and schedules as much as possible or help create new ones in a new environment, including: 🏊🏽‍♀️ regular exercising 🧹 cleaning 🧺 daily chores 🎶 singing 🖼 painting #COVID19 #coronavirus #MentalHealth

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! ❤️

Roger is from Cork. He is 17 years old. He is finding this lockdown boring. It means he can't train or play with his soccer club, Douglas Hall, nor his GAA club, Nemo Rangers. Roger's lazy Saturday afternoon is about to change in a dramatic way.

(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.

(2/5) UCC, like many other medical schools, is showing leadership by moving quickly and decisively to protect students and patients all while ensuring care elements of medical training and development of critical skills are at the highest level.

(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.

(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.

Our medical schools carry on a proud tradition of continuity of training despite any challenges and commitment to highest standards. Dr. Deirdre O’Brien, Consultant in Mercy University Hospital with patient volunteer Martin Donnelly and students Melissa, Sarah, Paddy and Tara.
