In this episode we speak to Dr Breda Cushen, Consultant Respiratory Physician in
Beaumont hospital. Breda came back to Ireland less than 5 years ago after working as a
consultant in the NHS. We discuss some of what Breda has achieved in these first few
years, from virtual ward proof of concept projects to the minutiae of starting a severe COPD
clinic. But also how she juggles it all and tips for others.
