'It takes a system to save a life'

Days like this remind you of why you became a paramedic.

Delighted to catch up with 13 year old Ewan, who suffered a cardiac arrest in Newcastle West, Limerick in February. As an off-duty responder, I was on scene 4 minutes after the 999 call.

Sepsis is a life-threatening complication of an infection. Anyone with an infection can get sepsis.

To everyone who messages me about working in health and social care.
This is the best advice I can give you.

Yvonne Young, Assistant Director of Nursing for Sepsis shares the importance of being sepsis aware. Sepsis can hide behind any infection. Watch out for the signs and don’t be afraid to ask, ‘Could it be sepsis?’hse.ie/sepsis

Sepsis is a life-threatening complication of an infection. If you've just been pregnant or had a baby, you're more at risk of an infection that could lead to sepsis. Don’t miss the signs.

A hill I’ll die on!

The carers of children in hospital are usually their parents
They need food, and it shouldn’t be at exorbitant cost from a profit-making shop/cafe

We should feed parents

Yvonne Young Absolutely love this, Yvonne ❤️.The more we speak about neurodiversity the less staff will be afraid to say their neurodivergent. There are so many who struggle. Because of off the charts empathy it can be exhausting for them. We need more initiatives like this 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
