Delighted to be giving the Keynote address at the Clinical Audit Forum in Sligo University Hospital on Thursday. In a week where the Irish healthcare news cycle has been dominated by audit findings in CHI, this topic is more important than ever.

A very long taxi out to Runway 31L, the departure runway in JFK last night allowed us a super view of one of the Queens of the Sky, an increasingly rare beast nowadays touching down on Runway 31R & then a great shot of the airport with New York in the background on our way home.

Delighted to be in Whitworth Hall, Manchester on Saturday to see my daughter, Aoife conduct the University of Manchester Symphony Orchestra and the Ad Solem Choir. The finish line of her Music degree is rapidly approaching then hopefully on to a long and fulfilling career. 🎼🙏

Thank you to all the team at St Colman’s, Newry for all the opportunities you gave Daire during his seven years with you and especially for honouring him with the Principal’s Award yesterday. He’s carrying the lessons learnt into his new life in the Engineering Dept in Queens University, Belfast.

In Chicago today sharing the same message with my friends at the @rsnasky.bsky.social Thanks to @katehanneman.bsky.social for inviting me back. Acknowledging our fallibility and designing our systems to allow for that will transform healthcare as it did aviation. @drgrainne.bsky.social

Currently enroute from Ireland to speak tomorrow at @rsnasky.bsky.social 2024. Following on from my talk in 2022, Human Factors is a steadily growing presence in healthcare worldwide. Applying an aviation safety framework could transform the industry, benefitting staff, patients & management alike.

@fryrsquared.bsky.social Congrats on the new post Hannah. Love your podcasts. 👏 I’m combining my two careers as a surgeon & an airline captain by applying aviation safety techniques to reduce adverse events in healthcare using Error Management. May be a field one of your students might enjoy..?? 🤔

@katehanneman.bsky.social Hi Kate, I see you’ve jumped ship to BlueSky too..!! Just checking presentation details for our @rsnasky.bsky.social Human Factors session in Chicago. I presume it’s 12 mins each with a Q&A at the end like last time? Looking forward to it.
