Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 9ú lá de mí Bealtaine, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1986 bhuail airí agus múinteoirí arís an mhaidin sin I gcóir uair na cinniúna cainteanna faoi mhargadh chun díospóireacht a shocrú. I 1997 cheap daoine nach raibh Sinn Féin chun a bheith ag na cainteanna leis na páirtí eile nuair a bhí siad chun tosú arís I mí an Mheithimh. I 2010 thosaigh an timeacht rothaíochta do charthanas le John Redfern I ndeisceart an chontae agus d'ardaigh siad 10 míle euro do CUH. D'fhág 65 duine baile Thiobraid Árann agus chuaigh siad chuig Na Ceanna Beaga I nDún Na nGall tríd lár an tír. I 2012 bhuail 55 mná ag an Meet and Train Group ar an chéad oíche. Tháinig siad le chéile ag an raon reatha agus bhí siad an sásta gur tháinig an méid is mó mná agus cheap siad ó é sin go mbeadh sé gach seachtain. Sin Falco le Rock Me Amadeus – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1986. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1965 I rith turas ceol sa Bhreatain chan Bob Dylan I gcóir dhá oíche sa Royal Albert Hall. Bhí The Beatles go léir sa lucht féachana. I 1992 bhí Bruce Springsteen ar an teilifís don chéad uair I dTuaisceart Meiriceá ar Saturday Night Live le Tom Hanks. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Noah Centineo I Meiriceá I 1996 agus rugadh amhránaí Billy Joel I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1949 agus seo chuid de a amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 9th of May, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1986: Ministers and teachers met again this morning for what was to make or break talks on a draft deal to settle the long running schools dispute. 1997: Sinn Fein was unlikely to be at the multi-party talks when they were due to resume on June 3rd. 2012 – Getting the miles in as the Meet and Train Group at the Canon Hayes Recreation Centre Running Track attracted 55 Ladies on its very first night! The Ladies who came together at the Running Track were delighted that so many turned out and hoping for it to be a weekly event.  2010 - The first run of the charitable biking event with John Redfern of the South Tipp took place, raising 10,000 euro for Cork University Hospital. 65 bikes left Tipperary town and headed out to Killybegs in Donegal via the Midlands .  That was Falco with Rock Me Amadeus – the biggest song on this day in 1986. Onto music news on this day In 1965 During a UK tour Bob Dylan played the first of two sold out nights at London's Royal Albert Hall. All four members of The Beatles were in the audience. 1992 Bruce Springsteen made his North American network television debut on Saturday Night Live with host Tom Hanks. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Noah Centineo was born in America in 1996 and singer Billy Joel was born in America on this day in 1949 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

An Irish cardiac tech company has announced it is to create 20 jobs over the next three years, while targeting an additional €3m in revenue, as it expands overseas. The Louth based business will also be rebranding as Heart Rhythm International will initially target the UK, where they expect to add 30 additional hospitals and approximately 50,000 additional patients to their network before 2029. They will also be looking to bring their innovative cardiac care solution to Australia/ New Zealand and the US health markets in the coming years. Previously known as Heart Rhythm Ireland, the company operates a cloud-based cardiac rhythm management platform that supports patients as well as hospitals, clinicians and cardiac device manufacturers. Their system makes patient cardiac device information available in real time, delivering accurate, accessible and actionable data to patients and their medical teams. This improves patient outcomes by making device data more accessible, enabling timely clinical decisions and more coordinated care. HRI's system also provides patients with secure access to their information anytime and anywhere, making it easier to share critical data with healthcare providers in emergencies. The company is currently developing AI and predictive analytics capabilities, which are expected to further enhance the platform by supporting earlier insights and more personalised cardiac care in the future. Heart Rhythm International already supports over 65,000 patients across Ireland, with its platform in use at more than 50 cardiac hospitals nationwide. The company provides national coverage, working with leading institutions such as the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, Bon Secours Health System, Beaumont Hospital, Mater Private Network, University Hospital Galway, Blackrock Health, and Cork University Hospital. HRI expects to grow its team to 30 personnel in the coming years. For more than 15 years, HRI has served as Ireland's national electronic health record for cardiac devices, maintaining a registry of over 100,000 implant procedures and nearly one million clinical follow-up records. Alongside its commercial expansion, HRI is actively contributing to international research and innovation projects. It is a partner in Project CARAMEL, a €12 million initiative funded under the EU Horizon Europe programme, helping to develop AI-powered predictive models for cardiovascular risk in women aged 40 to 60. HRI is also an industry partner in the new Health Frontiers Technology Innovation Centre (HF-TIC), led by Ulster University and supported by €9.1 million in PEACEPLUS funding. Both initiatives reinforce HRI's leadership in AI-driven digital health innovation on an international scale. "Every 20 seconds, someone receives a cardiac implant, but the systems supporting their care haven't kept pace," said Robert Kelly, CEO of HRI. "HRI was set up to change that, by operating at the centre of a unique eco-system, supporting patients, hospitals and clinicians and cardiac device manufacturers. Through our system, patients receive greater peace of mind and better health outcomes, while medical personnel can make better-informed and more efficient decisions. Ultimately that improves patient care and helps save lives. "We've already demonstrated how we can enhance cardiac care in Ireland by supporting over 65,000 patients and working with more than 50 hospitals nationwide. Now, we're bringing that capability overseas. A key strength of our system is that it was built on scalable, cloud-based infrastructure in partnership with IBM, allowing it to be rapidly deployed by healthcare providers anywhere in the world." "We're managing our expansion step by step, focusing initially on the UK market. However, we are already discussing partnerships and opportunities with healthcare providers in the US and Australia/ New Zealand. We believe there is real opportunity for HRI to grow, to support more patients and doctors overseas, whi...

The MTU Innovation Challenge 2025 has once again demonstrated the transformative power of student-led innovation, as interdisciplinary teams from across the globe came together to tackle real-world challenges posed by local, regional, and international organisations. Over the course of the last eight weeks, 11 teams of students from across Munster Technological University's six campuses in Cork and Kerry collaborated with their peers from Ud'A University in Italy, Murang'a University of Technology in Kenya, the University of Skövde in Sweden, and the University of Crete in Greece. Together, they engaged in solving a diverse range of innovation challenges supported by expert mentoring and training in design thinking and stakeholder engagement. Each team worked closely with real-world organisations to develop creative, practical solutions to problems currently affecting those organisations. The teams were supported by a group of volunteer mentors from across MTU without whom the challenge would not be possible. This year's participating organisations come from a wide variety of sectors, including healthcare, agriculture, assistive technology, AI, and nonprofit services. Challenges ranged from implementing AI solutions for business process automation to designing accessible healthcare devices to improving sustainable farming tools and community engagement platforms. Students tackled projects including the development of an AI-powered supply chain tool for tech firm Aspen Grove, the design of a paediatric syringe driver lockbox for Cork University Hospital, and a reimagined neck support brace for Motor Neurone patients at Marymount Hospice. In the nonprofit and community space, students designed an interactive app for Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind to engage users in a service dog's journey, contributed to a digital portal for clients at the Crann Centre, and explored improvements to solar-powered irrigation systems and data platforms with Kenyan start-up SowPrecise. Carole O'Leary, who spearheads this initiative at MTU, said: "These projects are not hypothetical scenarios, these are real issues facing organisations right now. What's remarkable is how our students rise to meet these complex challenges with such creativity, empathy, and professionalism. The benefits are two-fold: the organisations gain fresh perspectives and potential solutions, while students gain hands-on experience and the confidence to innovate in the real world." To mark their achievements, two standout teams were each awarded a €1,000 prize for their innovative and impactful solutions: Team Marymount 1 and Team SowPrecise 1. All students participating in the challenge received a Digital Badge in recognition of their engagement, collaboration, and contribution. From a stakeholder perspective, the benefits were evident. "The MTU Innovation Challenge has been such a highlight for me this year, and it is so exciting and rewarding to work with the students at MTU," said Orlaith Leo, Leo Senior Physiotherapist at Marymount Hospice. "To put my clinical head together with their creative minds has been so valuable, and they've come up with some brilliant ideas I could never have imagined." Gemma Leo, Business Support and Project Manager at the Crann Centre, shared similar praise: "The apps that we saw were absolutely beautiful - so a massive congratulations to the students. I can totally see that if we can get them built, our clients would use them." The 2025 challenge welcomed the most academically diverse group to date, with participation from both undergraduate and postgraduate students across a wide range of disciplines. These included programmes in Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering, Software Development, Computing, Creative Digital Media, Animation and Visual Effects, Business Information Systems, International Business, Marketing, Economics, Data Science and Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, User Experience and Service Design, Electrical and Electronics...

In this episode, Niall asks, Should John be arrested for defying the Safe Zone Law? Regular caller John is protesting against abortion outside Cork University Hospital at 12 p.m., even though the new safe zone law, enacted this week, makes such protests illegal. The debate centers on whether John should be arrested for his actions or if he has the right to peacefully protest despite the law.Some callers believe John should be arrested, arguing that the law exists to protect women who are making difficult medical decisions. Protesting outside a hospital where vulnerable individuals are seeking care, including abortions, is seen as harassment. They stress that breaking the law, whether one agrees with it or not, should have consequences, and John is knowingly defying it.On the other hand, other callers argue that John has the right to peacefully protest. They emphasize that protest is a fundamental part of democracy and that arresting John would be an overreach. These callers feel that just because a law is in place doesn't mean it's just, and John's stance against abortion should be protected as a form of free expression.Niall wraps up by reflecting on the balance between enforcing laws and upholding the right to protest, noting that the debate raises important questions about legal limits and personal convictions.

According to the latest HSE National Ambulance Service report, Bystander CPR in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in this country increased by 25% between 2012 and 2023. To discuss this further is, Director of Emergency and Acute Care at Cork University Hospital & Chair of the Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Register, Professor Conor Deasy.

My guest this week is mother of two, Eimear Hallahan. If you don't know Eimear's story from social media already, it's worth noting that this episode deals with a critically ill baby and might be a tough listen for some. Eimear's youngest son, James, was just two weeks old when she brought him to hospital knowing something wasn't right with him. She trusted her instinct, and once he arrived to Cork University Hospital, the doctors and nurses there sprang into action. He had sepsis, and his body was so full of infection that no antibiotic was seemingly working to treat it. Eimear knew straight away it was critical, and was told her son's chances of survival, at one point, were as low as just 5%. Her strength, positivity, and resilience, along with the support of her partner Jack, meant that through it all, she believed that James would survive. It's an incredible and powerful story of just pure hope, and it brought me to tears, which doesn't often happen! Like I said, this episode is a tough listen at times – I'll be back to you next week with more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2,285 admitted patients were left waiting for beds at University Hospital Limerick in total this month, which is 1,180 more people on trolleys than the next busiest facility; Cork University Hospital. The INMO says that despite an expert team being in the Dooradoyle facility for the month of May, there was only six days when there was less than one hundred people on trolleys at UHL. This week, the Government has announced that by 2028 an additional 84 acute inpatient beds will be delivered at UHL, an additional 48 will come on stream at Ennis General, and 24 beds will go to Nenagh Community Hospital. Speaking to Clare FM's Morning Focus though, the Health Minister admits increased capacity is needed immediately to combat overcrowding in the region, but insists the delivery of beds takes sufficient time. Stephen Donnelly says that capacity alone won't solve the problem and that patient care reforms at UHL need to come in line with national trends. The leader of the main opposition party, meanwhile, claims while it's committed to providing the public healthcare services in Clare, the Government will not. Under Sinn Féin's alternative plan, launched this month, the party is promising an elective only hospital for the region and making Ennis General a 24/7 Urgent Care Centre. In February, 758 children were waiting to undergo dental procedures in the MidWest and Sinn Féin's is pledging to increase dental training places nationwide by 32%. Speaking during a visit to Clare, Sinn Féin Leader Deputy Mary-Lou McDonald says the coalitions approach lacks all common sense.

The Health Minister says the HSE's recruitment embargo is not responsible for poor patient outcomes at University Hospital Limerick. The comments were made during a sitting of the Oireachtas Petitions Committee yesterday, which discussed the MidWest Hospital Campaign's request for the reopening of Accident & Emergency departments at Ennis, Nenagh and St.Johns. So far this week, the INMO has recorded 445 patients on trolleys at UHL, which is 78% higher than the next busiest facility over this period; Cork University Hospital. Responding to Sinn Féin Senator Paul Gavan, Minister Stephen Donnelly says that despite receiving "unprecedented additional resources" UHL is not seeing the results it should.

A groundbreaking development by researchers at Tyndall National Institute and Microelectronics Circuits Centre Ireland (MCCI), based at University College Cork (UCC), is set to transform surgical navigation. In a significant breakthrough, researchers have developed the first sensor-on-a-chip for magnetic tracking in surgery and other image-guided interventions. This development accelerates a move away from reliance on harmful radiation imaging (x-rays) towards a safer, more precise approach to navigating medical instruments within the body. Traditional image-guided interventions often use x-rays for navigation of instruments. However, a pioneering technology known as 'magnetic tracking' is revolutionising clinical practice by minimising the dependency on x-rays, while accelerating the use of surgical robotics and image-guidance. Magnetic tracking uses low-frequency magnetic fields, similar to everyday devices like electric motors and radios, to precisely detect the position of tiny sensors inside the patient. However, existing sensors are complex to manufacture, they are expensive, and are extremely delicate. Preliminary results published in the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits journal report tracking accuracy of less than a millimetre, making the new sensor the most accurate on-chip sensor to date for navigating instruments inside the body. Researchers were able to demonstrate the use of the chip for tracking instruments inside the lungs, an important application for effective targeting and treatment of diseases like lung cancer, which is the leading cause of global cancer incidence and mortality (source: ncbi.nlm.gov). The sensor is manufactured using standard silicon chip technology resulting in a simplified manufacturing process. Silicon chips are cost-effective at scale allowing the technology to be manufactured at a fraction of the cost of existing medical sensor technology. Silicon chips are also easily integrated with the latest flexible circuits, making assembly quick and reliable. Pádraig Cantillon-Murphy, Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Tyndall and UCC, who led the research team, said: "This represents the culmination of 10 years development of magnetic tracking technology at Tyndall and UCC. I'm immensely proud of the team's achievements over that time and we look forward to translating this technology to clinical applications where it can make a significant difference in patient outcomes." Marcus Kennedy, Professor of Medicine at Cork University Hospital and President of the Irish Thoracic Society who has been collaborating with Tyndall and UCC said: "Magnetic navigation has huge potential in helping with the diagnosis of diseases like lung cancer. Accurate and low-cost access to peripheral lung cancers via bronchoscopy provides a pathway towards not only safe and low-cost biopsy, but also endo-bronchial treatment of lung cancer without the need for invasive surgery. However, the high costs of robotic-assisted interventions and the cost per tracked instrument are prohibitive in most countries. This on-chip sensor could be a real game-changer for navigation in bronchoscopy and many other image-guided interventions." The breakthrough research was made possible through funding from the European Research Council, Science Foundation Ireland, Enterprise Ireland, and through the Microelectronics Circuit Centre Ireland (MCCI) at Tyndall.

This piece is an essential contribution to the debate regarding patient centered value based care. Are you able to say you are putting your orthopaedic patients' needs and priorities at the forefront of your practice? Some of the questions from the online audience include: Is Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) in orthopaedics a step too far?  How do patients who have significant arthropathys engage with a prehab program that makes them fitter?
