🎉 Today, we’re celebrating Men's Health Week with a powerful call to action for our colleagues and patients: Know Your Numbers! In Ireland, too many men skip routine check-ups, ignore symptoms, or delay seeking medical help when they’re sick or in pain. But together, we can change that narrative. Pharmacists are at the frontline of men’s health, offering essential education and encouraging proactive health measures. At LloydsPharmacy, we’re committed to making a difference and making men's health matter and that's why today across our 80 pharmacies, we’re providing free blood pressure checks and expert advice for our patients. This simple step can lead to a lifetime of better health. It’s time to empower the men in your life—husbands, partners, fathers, friends, brothers, and sons—to take control of their health. Let’s inspire them to know their numbers and to reach out to healthcare professionals with any concerns. Together, we can create a healthier future for all men. Let’s make every number count! 💪💙 #MensHealthMatters #KnowYourNumbers #MakeYourHealthMatter

Lacking an advance medical directive can lead to severe emotional and legal challenges during health crises. Take the case of Nancy Cruzan, who tragically remained on life support against what may have been her wishes because she didn’t have a directive in place. Advance directives clarify your medical preferences, easing the burden on your family and ensuring that your values are respected—even when you can’t voice them yourself. With ROCARIA, creating an advance directive is quick, easy, and affordable. Protect your family from unnecessary stress and ensure your medical wishes are honored. Start today and secure peace of mind for tomorrow. Connect with us to learn more! #Healthcare #AdvanceDirective #ProactivePlanning #PeaceOfMind

Someone once asked me "How do you work in healthcare?" and while it initially felt like an insult, it's now a HUGE driver for me. I'm only one person, but the work I'm a part of at Gallagher gives me hope that we can have a positive impact on some of these issues. Demand for care, staffing shortages, mental and behavioral health imbalance... there's a TON of work to do! Here's to 2024 and the challenges we face!! #healthcare #healthcarefuture #healthcareinnovation 12 healthcare trends and issues we are following for 2024 (beckershospitalreview.com)

In today's fast-paced healthcare environment, it's all too easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle — the endless shift patterns, the ticking clocks, the mountains of documentation. But let's take a moment to pause and reflect. Do we remember the names of the souls we've crossed paths with today? Did we learn from their stories, their struggles, their triumphs? If the answer is no, it’s time for a communication revival! If at the end of your day: 🔹 You can't recall the names of at least three of your patients... 🔹 You haven't gained at least one new insight from those you've served... It’s time to reassess. It's time to rescue transpersonal communication — to connect beyond the task at hand, to understand the person, not just the patient. Let’s get back to the heart of healthcare. Let’s remember that behind every chart is a chapter, behind every diagnosis a life story. Let’s make every interaction count! #TranspersonalTuesday #PatientCare #HealthcareHeroes #MindfulMedicine #HealthcareHumanity #MeaningfulConnections #EmpathyInHealthcare #BeyondTheBedside #NurseLife

It's Men's Health Month, a time to encourage and support men to take control of their health and well-being. Men ages 20-40 are less likely to make doctor appointments, which puts them at higher risk of developing chronic conditions. At DocGo we want to help motivate men of all ages to prioritize regular healthcare check-ups. Join us all month long as we share valuable insights and raise awareness about the importance of men's health. #MensHealthMonth #DocGo

It’s essential that we strike a balance between the resources available in general practice and demand for services. The current imbalance has resulted in record levels of work-related stress among GPs, and fewer patients rating their general practice experience as "good." Operational failures take up substantial amounts of GPs' valuable time, at a time when maintaining both the access to and the quality of these services has become increasingly challenging. General practice staff time is routinely spent trying to sort out problems with coordinating care, finding missing information, navigating difficulties with information-sharing, plus working around glitches in IT and electronic health records. Operational failures steal time away from patient care – they are thought to take up at least 5% of GP time. It’s clear that we need to pinpoint the most critical areas for improvement. We asked GPs and patients which failures they thought were the most important to target, and they defined 13 areas and three top priorities. Find out what they were: Read the paper: https://ths.im/4d2e31B THIS Summary: https://ths.im/3U0P9a9
