Delighted to present a lightning talk at #ISQUA2026 today on Irelandโs National Clinical Audit Management System (NCAMS) & Portal. Our key takeaway: NCAMS is an enabler of clinical governance, not simply a tech project. #HSENCCA #HSENQPS #HCI #ClinicalAudit #PatientSafety
Powerful insight @ISQua Conference by @MaryDixonWoods of the importance of understanding data to drive decision making & patient safety. #ISQUA2026 #patientsafety #DatadrivenDecisionMaking

Donโt let your life 'narrow'.
Iโve been an orthopedic surgeon for 30 years. The thing I watch happen to people โ more than any injury or surgery โ is what I call the narrowing.
Most of my patients have no idea itโs happening. They think itโs just aging. Itโs not...

Itโs been a great couple of days for Team Charlestown, with winners at @DundalkStadium on Friday night and Navan on Saturday!
๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ฎ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐บ๐ถ๐ด๐ผ got us off the mark for the new flat season with an early winner at Dundalk. A great job in the saddle from @BenCoen2 Coen for owner Cristiana Rodrigues ๐
The weekend got even better when ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ป notched his fourth win for us at Navan - heโs been a super servant for his owner-breeders Pat McCormack and Sarah Glynn.
Hats off to our own Eoghan Finegan on bringing him home in front ๐

Hi to everyone seeing this. This is Fรฉile, she is 13 and had a life altering farming accident last July. She is very courageous and in great spirits. Her friends and family are raising money for her through
1. Golf Outing on 16th/17th/18th of April which is sold out( but I believe hole sponsorship and raffle prizes are still available)
2. A school jersey day, Friday March 20th, where kids wear their favourite jersey to school and donate 1 or 2 euro. They are really hoping for schools everywhere to participate in this.
If youโd like to support this great cause particularly by getting your school to join the Jersey Day on March 20th. Follow the Link below or just go to gaacork.ie.

โIโm 100 years old, and I adopted a 14-year-old dog whose family asked the shelter to put him downโjust because he was โtoo old.โ My name is Margaret, and most people think someone my age shouldnโt adopt a pet. But when I heard about Benson, a 14-year-old senior surrendered to a Texas shelter, I knew I wanted him. His family had asked the staff to euthanize him for no reason other than age. The shelter refused, believing he still had life left. When I met Benson, he leaned his head into my chest as if he already knew me. A senior dog and a senior womanโwe connected instantly. Now Benson spends his days napping beside me, wearing sweaters to stay warm, and following me from room to room. People say I rescued him, but I disagree. Benson rescued me from loneliness. Weโre giving each other a kind, calm final chapter.โ

The report presents data on on 4,294 patients admitted with hip fracture across 16 hospitals in Ireland.
This yearโs most notable gain is in timely admission from the emergency department: 36% of patients were admitted to a ward or theatre within four hours, a seven-point improvement on 2023.
๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฐ:
- 77% of patients received surgery within 48 hours.
- 86% were reviewed by a geriatrician or advanced nurse practitioner.
- 87% received a specialist falls assessment.
- 90% underwent a bone-health assessment.
- 84% received a pre-operative nerve block for pain management.
- 85% were mobilised by a physiotherapist on the day of, or day after, surgery.
- <1% had a documented surgical site infection.
- Ten hospitals are now collecting follow-up data on 30-day mobility, quality of life and one-year mortality.
Thank you to the clinical teams, Audit Coordinators and hospital staff who continue to prioritise high-quality audit and improvement work in hip fracture care.
