Strokes are a medical emergency, and urgent treatment is essential. The sooner a person gets treatment for a stroke, the less damage is likely to happen. If you think you or someone else is having a stroke, dial 999 or 112 immediately.

We recently launched the new HSE Dublin and Midlands Community Neuro-Rehabilitation Team. The service is an important step in ensuring people living with neurological conditions can access timely, high-quality rehabilitation, closer to home.

"Access to specialist rehabilitation can make a profound difference to people living with neurological conditions, helping them maximise their independence and quality of life” said Minister of State with responsibility for Disability, Emer Higgins.

The HSE Emerging Drugs Lab has had a very busy first day at Electric Picnic.

Harm Reduction Tips

• Start low, go slow. If you choose to use, take a very small amount first and wait at least 2 hours.
• Stay cool. Take breaks from dancing, and avoid overheating.
• Sip water regularly (but don’t overdo it — about 1 pint per hour is enough).
• Don’t mix substances. Combinations increase risks.
• Stick with friends and look out for each other.
• If something feels wrong, get help early. Medics at festivals are there to help without judgement. Give them a sample of what was taken if you can.

A ‘Tiny Little Library’ has been launched at Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH) neonatal unit, in collaboration with Cork City Libraries and Cork County Library and Arts Service. It provides free access to age-appropriate books for families with babies receiving neonatal care.
Susan Vaughan, Neonatal Clinical Nurse Specialist, CUMH, explained how “research has shown that reading to and with babies in the neonatal unit can strengthen parent-infant bonding, reduce stress for both babies and parents, and support early language development. Parents' voices provide familiar and comforting sounds in what can be a very unfamiliar environment."
