I might just retweet this every day forever - it is SO important that doctors experience the positive effects of having a GP.
Self care + Primary care = Healthy Doctor

The poetry of ageing

As I approach 50, I realise, while it’s not really old, it has the sense of entering the ‘third age’, reflects Dr Sarah Fitzgibbon

A great couple of days at #ACPGBI2026 with a fabulous group of patient advocates!
Day one of #ACPGBI2026 done and we are joined for dinner by the lovely @suzi1dore who gave a fantastic patient perspective of living well with a stoma in today’s Adbo wall session.

"Feasible even in metastatic disease"...
I would respectfully ask all of us as HCPs to stop assuming that metastatic=moribund!! I did one of my best cartwheels ever about 10 years after my stage 4 diagnosis.
🏋️ Yay for exercise- Level 1 evidence that it improves survival in cancer! If exercise were a drug it would be FDA approved! Exercise should be considered a vital sign to discuss with all patients and is feasible even in metastatic disease! @charlesryanmd #apccc26

HPV is a common virus. There are more than 100 types and most of us will get it at some point.
The HPV vaccine protects against the types that can cause cancer.

Listen back to Dr @SarahFitzWiMIN as she joined @ShannonsideFM to talk about Bowel Cancer Awareness Month and the importance of bowel screening to prevent bowel cancer or find it early when it's easier to treat.
#BowelScreen is for everyone aged 57 to 71.

It is unacceptable that healthcare workers are being excluded from life saving help solely because of where they live. Dr Adam Kay, our Patron, joined leaders in Northern Ireland last week to call for NI staff to have NHS Practitioner Health services.

Patient advocates Mary and Peter tell us about their experience taking part in #BowelScreen, encouraging others to #choosescreening.
BowelScreen is for everyone aged 57 to 71. It's a simple test you do at home, and it's free.

Women are at least as capable as men at doctoring, but continue to have more demands on their time, according to Dr Sarah Fitzgibbon
