Great work by Dr Aoife Carolan from our group at @rcsi.bsky.social
RCSI showing data from our familial pulmonary fibrosis clinic.

- 1 in 5 patients have a family memeber with lung fibrosis.

- 1 in 5 of these patients have a single suspected gene.

What is familial pulmonary fibrosis?
Who needs a genetic test?
What is a telomere?

Read more in Dr. Aoife Carolan's case published in ERS Breathe this month.

Runners find a way around any obstacles - like this fallen tree near the Battle of the Boyne Visitor Centre.

So many trees down after #StormÉowyn

It’s been just over a month since the last pic below, and while I haven’t made it out every day, I have been out most days for a run, cycle or walk.

Pretty muddy here in the Boyne Valley.

New runners / trainers for a New Year.

My New Year’s resolution is to take one small piece of exercise every day - even just a short walk. Good for the body and great for the mind.

What’s your New Year’s resolution?
