I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Associate Editor at International Journal of Nursing Practice!

I was honoured to be invited to speak at Stanford School of Medicine this morning about my research on LGBTQI+ health. It was a real privilege to share space with such an inspiring community of researchers and clinicians committed to advancing queer health. A meaningful way to spend my birthday!

It’s so good to see a total of four panels focussed on sexual and gender minority health at #SigmaCongress2025 Great to connect with nursing scientists making a difference to LGBTQ+ health equity

Chaired a great session this morning on workplace violence and nursing incivility - lots of reflections whether we’re just seeing a societal shift play out in our workplaces and profession. Regardless of the cause these are issues nursing urgently needs to deal with

Great to present findings from our scoping review on LGBTQ+ health research in Ireland and talk a little bit about next steps in making healthcare more equitable for LGBTQ+ people in Ireland! #SigmaCongress2025

Arrived safely in Seattle for the 36th annual nursing research congress hosted by Sigma Theta Tau - International Honor Society for Nursing

Excited to be heading to Seattle next week to speak at the 36th Annual Sigma Theta Tau International Nursing Research Congress! I’m looking forward to connecting with colleagues from around the world and sharing insights from my work on LGBTQ+ Health in Ireland.

Very excited to be speaking at @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social this summer! I’ll share insights from the research conducted while I was in the USA as a Fulbright scholar, and plans for future research to enhance LGBTQI+ health in Ireland!

Sending a very offensive post @izzykamikaze.bsky.social way so we can rattle the place up 💚 🌈

Our research highlights the need systematic change to improve mental health support for those experiencing homelessness “The system isn’t built for prevention - it’s built for crisis” (Quote from GP) www.ucd.ie/nmhs/newsand...

It was great to speak at the Irish Street Medicine Conference today and to share our research on crisis mental health support for those experiencing homelessness

What an amazing few days at the EU LGBTIQ+ Health Conference in Brussels Inspired by passion, knowledge & commitment to solidarity & social change shared by activists, academics, community orgs & clinicians. Left with a burning desire to do more, do better, & continue to build networks of change

Today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia. A reminder that discrimination isn’t abstract. It has real, lasting impacts on the health, wellbeing, and lives of LGBTQ+ people. Equality, Solidarity, Justice & QUEER JOY saves lives. #IDAHOBIT

Just two weeks to go until our LGBTQ+ Health Symposium at UCD An amazing group of speakers lined up! Supported by the Fulbright Alumni Project fund

I’m so proud to be a nurse, to stand alongside millions of nurses worldwide Nurses are the linchpin of health systems everywhere; leading, coordinating, delivering compassionate care, shaping policy, and driving research that will define the future of healthcare. Happy International Nurses Day!

What exactly is the role of a nurse? Despite their essential contributions, nurses are frequently misunderstood, underestimated and seen as simply assisting doctors. By @gilmorejnurse.bsky.social @ucddublin.bsky.social #InternationalNursesDay www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

On #InternationalNursesDay, we honor nursing researchers like, @gilmorejnurse.bsky.social who are transforming healthcare through LGBTQI+ focused research. 🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #HealthEquity #NursingResearch #LGBTQIHealth @ucddublin.bsky.social ublin.bsky.social @ucdresearch.bsky.social @inmoirl.bsky.social

Very proud to have contributed to this - led by @chris-noone.bsky.social Our appraisal shows the significant flaws in the Cass review - this should not be the basis for Trans healthcare

Very proud of my comrades from the INMO Inclusion Health Section for the stalwart solidarity and passion to challenging health injustices @inmoirl.bsky.social

At the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation Annual Delegate Conference in Wexford for the first attendance of the INMO LGBTQIA+ Forum. Were proposing a motion for the organisation to formally lobby for the adoption of WPATH Standards of Care in Ireland

Hey guys we’re doing some research about DoxyPEP in Ireland and have a survey for Gay and Bi men and Trans people in Ireland It’s anonymous, should take about 10-15 mins and will go on to help the design of interventions and services eu.surveymonkey.com/r/doxypep

Happy International Day of the Midwife! Proud to know many, advocating for dignity, equity, and access, and challenging the systems that fall short. Midwifery is not only about care but about justice! It’s a privilege to teach the next generation of midwives who carry this legacy forward!

Great meeting this morning with Ambassador Caroline Whelan, Ireland’s ambassador to Malta. We discussed many aspects of the relationship, similarities and differences between our islands and collaboration between UCD and the University of Malta!

Fireworks over Valletta 🇲🇹 🎆

Really interesting day today visiting Malta’s LGBTIQ+ Hub and the Gender Wellbeing clinic learning about the social & health support for LGBTIQ+ people After that I met with the team at University of Malta Dept of Gender & Sexuality

Observing many similarities between Malta and Ireland, both being small, post colonial, Catholic and progressive leaning countries… But also some really interesting divergences - despite former British occupation here they seem to hold the UK in much higher regard

Day one of my trip Erasmus+ trip to Malta - I spent the day meeting faculty at the Dept of Nursing & Dept of Midwifery at University of Malta then visited clinical areas the Mater Dei Hospital, Malta’s only acute hospital. So many similarities in healthcare issues in Ireland & Malta!

Delighted to receive this grant to develop integrated approaches to assess & plan psychosexual care for those who have experienced a spinal injury. Great to collaborate with colleagues at the National Spinal Injuries Unit, National Rehab Hospital & HSE public health www.ucd.ie/healthaffair...

Nursing researchers from DCU, UCD, and Trinity College are exploring psychological safety in nursing— a culture where staff can speak up, take risks, and admit mistakes without fear. If you're a nurse in Ireland you can take part in our online survey 👇 eu.surveymonkey.com/r/TXD5F8M

Lazy bank holiday Monday taking it all in 💭

Next month @ucdiris.bsky.social hosts our third LGBTQ+ Health Symposium - an exciting event showcasing LGBTQ+ health research from across Ireland, UK and USA This is an in-person event supported by Fulbright Ireland Alumni Project Fund Register by emailing [email protected] spaces are limited

Issues of sex, gender, behaviour, identity have always been complex in healthcare & reductionist, essentialist grandstanding just complicates things further I’ll discuss complexities in Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity data in health at the EU LGBTQI+ health conference www.lgbtihealth.eu/en

since the media will not cover the staggering turnouts at protests in support of trans communities across the UK, i think it’s pretty important we highlight mass support wherever it is happening.
