Our #medicalscientists are reporting shortages of #viral lysis buffer. Reagents for laboratory testing for #Covid_19 are in huge demand. If anyone in the science community has any to spare could they DM me or Academy of Clinical Science & Laboratory Medicine Míle mile buíochas. Can you also RT far and wide to pharma etc

As virtual care becomes our best option for vulnerable pts cocooning over the coming weeks, the HSCP Office is developing a repository of self management tools to support National HSCP Office, HSE delivering services. Can you help? Pse send info/ tools to Alison Enright. Further info soon 🙏

Greg Hughes covidmedsupply.org has just been set up but not a lot of action on it yet - if someone at LUH can put up a PPE call here, it may be answered!

Scientists are still urgently needed to assist with #COVID19 testing a repurposed lab in Kildare (data entry, sample processing and PCR). Please share and see irishscientistsoncall.com for further details! HSE Ireland

There have been a number of funding calls opened and even a 'match-making' collaborative research forum initiated. If you're looking for groups to join forces with, check out network.crowdhelix.com/covid-19 for collaboration opportunities.

Irish Scientists on Call has been set up to collate any opportunities for scientists in assisting with combatting #COVID19. Please enquire directly to the opportunities available and don't send CV's to us!

Many opportunities are being coordinated through individual Universities. If you are aware of #scientist opportunities for #COVID19 that we haven't listed, please email [email protected]!

Plenty of Irish scientists on call and waiting to assist with scaled-up lab-testing. Test test test! World Health Organization (WHO) Simon Harris TD HSE Ireland Cillian De Gascun NVRL UCD

Irish Scientists On Call have large mailing list of experienced scientists eager to assist with scaled-up testing. We are aware of 1 new testing lab in Kildare & Academy of Clinical Science & Laboratory Medicine also seeking accredited staff. Huge opportunity to leverage University resources.

Some Unis/Institutes currently coordinating their own volunteer programmes. Irish Scientists On Call aims to collate all opportunities for scientists even outside of Unis. Scaled-up testing will require a coordinated approach HSE Ireland Simon Harris TD NVRL UCD Cillian De Gascun

Made a little poster for my family to help them understand what #coronavirus does and why you need to #stayathome and #WashYourHands. Feel free to share with your friends and families too! 🦠 #COVID19

Leading journal JAMA published an important paper (with caveat of open label/small numbers trial) on Friday. 5 severely ill patients treated with anti-SARS-CoV2 antibodies. Impressive results. Viral load became negative, 3 discharged and 2 are stable. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32219428/?from…

PPE is in short supply for all hospitals in Ireland. Staff from @nuigalway and University Of Limerick have developed a tool to coordinate PPE donations here covidmedsupply.org #irishscientistsoncall #scientistsoncall #COVID19

The UK Parliament have established an open #COVID19 expert database, and have called for researchers to contribute. Perhaps we could source and utilize our own research expertise in Ireland?
