I listened to the interview with Dr. Bronckaers this morning, it moved me to tears, she was just trying to do what was right, and she was right, she is an extraordinarily brave, dignified and remarkable individual👏👏👏 @SJAMcBride @StephenNolan

Dr Bronckaers says she saw a load of sheep kept overnight at Ballymena Livestock market without food or water: "They fought each other to get the bits of hay we found". NI's chief vet told her what she'd seen didn't happen - & said he knew the manager.

But I left in 2022. An honest conversation badly needed re SWAH’s ability to recruit & retain staff as well as how it can serve needs of the local community who deserve appropriate emergency services

@bbcnewsline Incredible couple, so dignified in response to the week’s events, learning in healthcare is an overused term in my opinion but things have to change, no one immune from mistakes, I have made my fair share but honesty, openness and integrity has to be the fundamental response

Depressing. Trust responds with the old “learning” chestnut “we will continue to learn from the past, as we move forward” - most overused term in theory but under-utilised in reality in NHS IMO

Patients struggle after a heart event but early access to cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has the evidence for improving quality of life and reducing risk of dying. It is still only a minority in NI access CR with huge variation in service quality. Time for change #ourheartsourminds
