Agree- small investment now and key stakeholders working together to develop GEM @uniofgalway will really help future workforce retention particularly in rural areas to build sustainable rural communities @HSE_West_NWest @JohnConnollyTD @DeptRCDG @daracalleary #OurRuralFuture
💯@itsthatgirlsuzi ….. we are developing a new GEM programme @uniofgalway, with WP and social accountability at its core. Will need ++support and multiagency working to address this critical barrier ….. small investment, massive gains @roinnslainte @DeptofFHed @MCanavan_1

More investment in #homecare is welcome but this will not address the deep rooted structural issues of access, equality + the crisis in our homecare workforce. This must be accompanied by fundamental reform of pay, working conditions and the value placed on this important work.
✅More positive news for home care sector as @MaryButlerTD tells the Health Committee that 23.4 million hours are projected to be delivered by the end of 2024
📈We are pleased to see another year of growth and expanded capacity for the home care sector

Fantastic news @uniofgalway on the new graduate entry medicine and pharmacy programs. These graduates will have a real impact on sustainable healthcare delivery and patient care here in the West/North West region and beyond! @HSEWestNorthWes @CcoHse @Tony_CanavanHSE @GalwayCMNHS
A first-class day for University of Galway and the West as @DeptofFHed Minister @podonovan and @hea_irl confirm a radical expansion of healthcare education - more than 120 new pharmacists and doctors to be taught and trained through our research-led university.
It means two new programmes for University of Galway: 🔹Graduate Entry Medicine – an accelerated pathway into Medicine, with 48 places for a graduate to build on their prior academic achievements and become qualified medical professionals
🔹Pharmacy (MPharm) - a five-year undergraduate programme, which will provide students with a comprehensive education in pharmacy
Our Interim President, Professor @Peter_E_McHugh said: "This is truly transformative - for healthcare education; for communities in the West and other regions; for the healthcare sector and society in general.
“Investment in more than 120 new places at our University for pharmacy and medicine is an endorsement of the excellence in healthcare education and training that we provide, founded on high-impact research.
“It is wonderful to secure such recognition from Government and the HEA, and the enhanced investment, in our capacity to deliver the healthcare workforce of the future.”
