My last day of Prof. Diploma in Service Design @NCAD_Dublin . A great year with inspiring people. It has changed how I question and strive to develop solutions. It has been a busy year also doing a Prof. Cert @ucddublin in Referring for Radiological Procedures. A year of growth!
A great team & reflection of the power of partnerships.
Another Back Class group kicking off today in our community partnership site in Summerhill Primary Care Centre as part of the Low Back Pain Pathway led by Senior Physiotherapist Diarmuid O’Conluain.

Looking forward to chatting to 1st year physiotherapy students from University College Dublin @ucd_sphpss about my career to date & current role. #physiosofthefuture
What a great start to the week! We welcomed back some patients who have been through our Back Class program for a focus group. Work can be hard & busy, but hearing how much impact the work has on people’s lives, makes it all worth it. @MaterPhysio @NCPTOS #lowbackpainpathway
An issue very close to my own heart. Recently, a dear friend waited over one year in an acute hospital for a bed in the NRH. A busy ward, not appropriate for his needs. It just isn’t good enough @DonnellyStephen @SimonHarrisTD

A honor to present all the hard work of the Low Back Pain Pathway teams at @MaterPhysio & @UHW_Waterford
National Integrated LBP Pathway is transforming back pain care
Launched in Oct '23 in Dublin & Waterford, it uses MDTs, triage tools & community physiotherapy to cut wait times & reduce surgeries. High satisfaction so far! #HealthcareInnovation
