I took up meditation during covid and I can feel the benefits, so it’s the first thing I do in the morning. Then it’s breakfast: porridge or yoghurt and fruit. I head to work early as I sometimes go for a run in Phoenix Park with a colleague, BrĂd Greenan. She oversees Make Every Contact Count, the HSE’s national programme of behaviour change. It’s about health professionals making every patient contact count by encouraging positive lifestyle choices. It’s aligned with our chronic disease self-management programme.
