It's a brand new year and to celebrate we've got a brand new segment to kick off the podcast each week. It's our weekly news wrap covering the stories that affect women in Ireland and around the world. This week, Róisín Ingle is joined by Irish Times podcast producer Aideen Finnegan to talk about some of the stories that caught her eye this week and what she's been watching and listening to. They'll be discussing Meghan Markle's new lifestyle series for Netflix (With Love, Meghan), the choice words that Pope Francis used to describe an order of nuns and why Elon Musk has been spewing hate and vitriol towards Britain's safeguarding Minister Jess Philips over an historic grooming scandal in the UK. Later on, Ingle is joined by pharmacist and presenter of the Wonder Care podcast Sheena Mitchell to talk about the “frustrating” delay in the Government's roll-out of free HRT. Despite the scheme being labeled as “free”, Mitchell says women will still face many other associated costs when it finally launches. Finally, Irish Times columnist Brianna Parkins fills us in on what's hot and not for 2025 and shares how life has been since moving back to Australia last summer. Hosted on Acast.

LETTER TO LEO – 16th December 2022 Dear Taoiseach, It’s not often I’m embarrassed to be Irish, but as a pharmacist working within the confines of the Irishsystem today, I am. I spent five years in university developing my medical expertise in pharmacy.Despite this training my skills and those of my pharmacy colleagues, are being chronicallyunderutilised in an Irish healthcare system at breaking point.I find this very frustrating, as my time spent working as a pharmacist in Scotland has shown me thatthere is a very simple answer to quickly alleviate the massive pressure frontline doctors are currentlyfacing. We are in the eye of the storm, and you are a doctor in a position of leadership and legislativepower. You know that the daily figures counting the infection of influenza, RSV, coronavirus, andStrep A will only continue in an upward trajectory, as these viruses always do in late Winter and earlySpring. Let us help. The community pharmacist is your biggest ally, we are open from early morning until lateat night, and in many cases 7-days a week. A patient does not require an appointment to see apharmacist, and almost half of the population live within 1km of a pharmacy. You led us through apandemic, the healthcare system can’t take any more, and the patient always has to come first.Instead of making promises, chairing working groups, and discussing policy, now is the time to act.Pharmacists want to help, we are qualified, our range of services has so much potential tosignificantly improve access to patient healthcare. What is more, this model of patient care is alreadyworking successfully in Scotland and further afield. Every day I see patients suffering who cannotaccess a doctor due to the extreme pressure that the healthcare system is under. Together we canmake a big impact to improve this situation. Today, I am asking you for urgent action on both the implementation of a Minor Ailments Scheme and the introduction of Patient Group Directives (PGDs). 1. Minor Ailments Scheme: Save GPs time. Let us prescribe approved items for medical card patients. Private patientscan buy these items over the counter, but medical card holders need a prescription from theirGP. It makes no sense in the current climate to be sending medical card holders into GP surgeriesfor over the counter items. This at a time when we need to free up accessibility to GP forurgent patient assessment and diagnosis. It started as a cost issue, I know. However, it is costing more money sending them into a GP,and it’s potentially costing lives by removing that appointment from an urgent sick patient.Figures from Scotland already show us it could remove 1 in 7 GP visits, here it could be evenmore. 2. Patient Group Directives:Pharmacists could work to carefully developed Patient Group Directives (PGDs) to assess and supplymedicines to treat the following conditions: Bacterial Skin Infections – using oral antibiotics Conjunctivitis (eye infections) – using antibiotics Cystitis – uncomplicated – treated with antibiotics Impetigo – using local antibiotics Shingles – using antiviral medicines. As a newly qualified pharmacist working in Scotland in 2006, I was able to supply antibiotic eye dropsfor conjunctivitis. Sixteen years later and Ireland still hasn’t caught up, it’s insulting to our professionand injurious to patient care.Taoiseach, surely you can see how important this is. You have an important job to do, going back toyour GP role once a week was admirable during the pandemic but not a long t
