Nice thank you card and badge from the Human Milk Bank. I was very happy to be able to donate and found the whole process very straightforward. The milk bank is always looking for new donors, so if any other mothers are interested, I am happy to answer questions!

5 years ago, #CervicalCheck changed to primary HPV screening. In a new blog, Clinical Director Prof @russellnoirin reflects on this change, why it's a better test and provides better outcomes for women who #choosescreening, and what we've learned. 📖 tinyurl.com/5-years-HPV-IE

I appeal to communicators around the world to tell stories of hope. Let your storytelling be #HopeTelling. Seek out the hidden crumbs of good, even when all seems lost, and allow people to hope against all hope.

This is #CervicalCancerPreventionWeek. Not awareness week, not treatment week, not remembrance week. Cervical cancer is one of the few cancers that we can prevent, which is great news for the millions of people worldwide who could be affected. Go get screened if you're eligible!
Cervical screening can prevent cervical cancer. Going for #cervicalscreening every time you’re invited is the best way to get the most from it. Here's your essential guide to free cervical screening: tinyurl.com/essential-guide-… #ChooseScreening #CervicalCancerPreventionWeek

It is a night to reread The Dead by James Joyce 'Yes, the newspapers were right: snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, further westwards, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves. It was falling too upon every part of the lonely churchyard where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.'

Signing the pledge to commit to the cervical cancer elimination plan launched today - the fancy technology didn’t know quite what to make of my doctory scrawl, but the sentiment is what matters! @NSShse #TogetherTowardsElimination
