Dear rwg!
Nothing watch related: a doctor friend of mine is doing trojan work trying to reform the epilepsy treatment in ireland- from modest beginnings the process is really showing results. The national programme he is involved in has been nominated for an international award: if they got this it would add huge weight to the reforms and procedures he has started and add to momentum! As with any public sector (and healthcare) change it has been an uphill battle but the programme really is working.
his email is below: just click on link and vote. If you can can you pass on to anyone you know and vote also?
thanks
