Grateful for the opportunity to present at @GeriSoc #BGSConf and share some of our @RCSIPharmBioMol research on appropriate prescribing, and future plans for deprescribing and big data research with the DIAMOND programme.
Replying to @FrankMoriarty

Very pleased to launch RxTrends, a tool to visualise open data on medication prescribing in Ireland: cdrx-project.eu/rxtrends/. It was developed by Dr Ahmed Hassan Ali through the HRB-funded CDRx project. You can read more about it in the companion paper: hrbopenresearch.org/articles…
A new tool developed by researchers @RCSIPharmBioMol enables the analysis of prescribing patterns in Ireland for the first time. Users can track prescribing rates and costs over time, giving a clearer picture of national medicine usage. ➡️ rcsi.com/dublin/news-and-eve… #RCSIdiscover

Ciarán is an inspiration. It’s a pleasure to have him work with us in @TissueEngDublin developing a new treatment for spinal cord injury in partnership with @ambercentre & @IRFUCharTrust @RCSI_Research @RCSI_PPI_Ignite
👏 The guest of honour at this year’s @IRFUCharTrust Rugby Ball will be Ciarán McCarthy who was seriously injured playing rugby in 2002. 📘 Ciarán recently launched his second book ‘Closer to Walking Again’, which brings readers on his journey following his life-changing accident, to his involvement in ground-breaking research in spinal cord injury repair, which the IRFU Charitable Trust supports.

We were delighted to host the launch of Ciarán’s excellent new book @RCSI_Irl @RCSI_PPI_Ignite last night! Ciarán is a key member of the RCSI PPI in Research Committee and has shared his expertise in PPI broadly across @PPI_Ignite_Net events over the past few years.
We were pleased to host the launch of ‘Closer to Walking Again’, a new book by Ciarán McCarthy. A rugby accident left Ciarán paraplegic, and he is now working with RCSI researchers to shape the future of spinal cord injury advancements. Read more ➡️tinyurl.com/ypxtxzf8
