Running out of things to do in self-isolation? Get creative in the kitchen this long weekend and contribute to an amazing cause. The Cappagh Hospital Foundation is raising money to fund a dedicated Paediatric Outpatient Clinic for the boys and girls who receive treatment at the Hospital.

COVID-19 has forced the Hospital to suspend elective services for the time being. Thankfully, the Specialist Rehabilitation Unit continues to offer inpatient services for people with post-traumatic physical, cognitive and psychological challenges. Every day we are privileged to work with amazing people, of all ages, helping them to realise their full recovery potential. In the past few days, we received some lovely messages to fuel our enthusiasm and we would like to thank our celebrity friends, Ryan Tubridy, Louise Cooney, Sean O'Brien, Brian Fenton and Neven Maguire for their kind words and encouragement. Thank you for brightening our days.​

During this time of crisis, it's good to know that there are people at the other end of the phone who are willing to help. We have put together a list of organisations offering unbiased medical, emotional, financial and practical support.

Social Media has many benefits. It can bring joy and entertainment at the touch of a button. However, we have seen in recent weeks that too much time spent on Social Media Networks and untrustworthy media sites can also breed anxiety and stress in all of us.
