Tallaght University Hospital (TUH) in partnership with the HSE has launched a new seven‑part animated series designed to support patients, families, carers and healthcare professionals in understanding and reducing the risk of falls. Each one‑minute episode delivers clear, practical guidance, supported by accompanying educational materials.

Commenting on the launch of the series, Dr Paul McElwaine, Consultant Geriatrician at TUH explained how “falls have a profound impact on patients and families, but many are preventable with the right knowledge and support. This series gives people practical, easy‑to‑understand information they can use straight away, whether at home, in the community or in hospital. By making education accessible, we can reduce avoidable harm, improve confidence and help people stay independent for longer.”

Injury units can help treat recent injuries (less than 6 weeks old) that are not life-threatening and unlikely to need hospital admission.

Injury units can treat:
➡️ broken bones, sprains and strains, from knees to toes
➡️ broken bones, sprains and strains, from collarbone to fingertips
➡️ minor facial injuries
➡️ minor burns and scalds
➡️ cuts, wounds and grazes
➡️ splinters and fish hooks
➡️ objects stuck in eyes, ears or nose

Not every injury can be treated at an injury unit, so it’s important to check what can and cannot be treated.

Checking before you go helps you get the right care, at the right place.

The Maternity Day Assessment Unit was originally established to enhance and streamline maternity care by providing a dedicated assessment service for women experiencing pregnancy-related concerns from 20 weeks’ gestation through to 42 days after birth.
Managed by Clinical Midwife Manager, Fionnuala Reilly, and staffed by three senior midwives, the unit provides specialist assessment, monitoring and treatment for a range of pregnancy-related conditions. These include reduced fetal movements; abdominal pain; symptoms of early labour; raised blood pressure; postnatal concerns and other pregnancy-related conditions requiring specialist review.

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 suspect someone is having a stroke, think F.A.S.T.
Face: Has their face dropped on one side? Can they smile?
Arms: Can they lift both arms and keep them raised?
Speech: Is their speech slurred or hard to understand?
Time: Dial 999 or 112 immediately.

When you have a serious illness, it can affect your life in many ways.

Palliative care aims to:
➡️ find out how your illness affects you and your family
➡️ plan ways to prevent or manage pain and other problems that affect you
➡️ understand and help with any worries or fears you have because of your illness
➡️ improve your quality of life

Your healthcare team may offer palliative care at any stage of a serious illness. It is not only for people who are nearing the end of life and can be provided alongside other medical treatments.

Getting palliative care early can help you and your family live as well as possible throughout your illness: https://bit.ly/4zZ033l
