The National Orthopaedic Hospital Cappagh (NOHC) annually recognises nursing students around Irish National Orthopaedic Nurses Day. This year, we celebrated the accomplishments of eight remarkable women who completed their Post Graduate Diploma or Certificate in Nursing (Orthopaedic Nursing) at NOHC.

International Overdose Awareness Day is a crucial reminder that the danger of overdose looms not only in the context of illicit drugs but also in relation to prescribed and diverted medications. In an interview with Pat Kenny, Dr. Conor Hearty, Consultant Anaesthesiologist at the National Orthopaedic Hospital Cappagh, stressed the importance of education and the correct use and stewardship of these medications.

The Cappagh Foundation Day will be held at the National Orthopaedic Hospital Cappagh on Friday, 26th May 2023 in the Lady Martin Auditorium. Convened by Mr Enda Kelly, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Cappagh Kids, this year's event welcomes Guest Lecturers Dr Rachel M. Thompson, Associate Director, Centre for Cerebral Palsy (OIC/UCLA) and Dr Elizabeth W. Hubbard, Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon, Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children.

In September, the Centre for Rehabilitation at NOHC celebrated its 10th Anniversary. Over the years, the Centre has helped over 3,000 patients to regain function and independence following an acute medical episode. Initially providing specialist rehabilitation medicine for patients of all ages, the Centre now specialises in caring for older adult patients transferred from nearby Connolly Hospital and the orthopaedic wards at NOHC.
