2022 Sydney Rose Entrant - Aoife Kelleher 🌹

Aoife is a 26 year old Registered Midwife, originally from Co. Clare. She moved to Sydney 3 and a half years ago and has now set up her home here.

She works in Hurstville Private Hospital in both delivery suite and also privately with an obstetrician as a practice midwife. She absolutely adores her job and loves meeting incredible people and helping them through the massive transition to parenthood.

Since moving to Sydney she met her partner Nathan and hopes to apply for her citizenship this year.

She loves travelling and always has to have the next trip booked, which this year should include a trip to Ireland to meet her newborn niece. 💞

WHEN TO DO A RAPID ANTIGEN TEST

The rules about when to get a PCR (nose and throat swab) test have changed. Most people can now use a rapid antigen test to confirm they are positive for COVID-19.

YOU SHOULD DO A RAPID ANTIGEN TEST IF YOU'RE:

feeling sick with COVID symptoms
a contact of a positive case
planning to attend a gathering or visit a vulnerable person
a worker, resident, patient, or client in a high-risk setting where there is a current outbreak
going into hospital for a procedure (if the hospital requires it)
entering NSW from overseas.

YOU ONLY NEED TO CONFIRM YOUR POSITIVE RAPID ANTIGEN TEST WITH A PCR TEST IF YOU ARE:

more than 20 weeks pregnant
an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
unvaccinated – 16 years and over
immunosuppressed
a worker, resident, patient, or client in a high-risk setting (such as healthcare, aged care, disability care, and correctional facilities) where there is not a current confirmed outbreak.
asked to by a registered medical practitioner.

A largely unspoken issue in this pandemic is its effect on trainee registrar and junior doctors.

While Omicron has some things in common with Delta, it’s also very different.

For one thing, it has 10 mutations in the receptor-binding domain. This is part of the spike protein that helps COVID-19 get into the cells in your body.

In contrast, the Delta variant has just 2 mutations compared to the original strain of COVID.

All these mutations could mean that Omicron is more transmissible and/or better at evading immunity than Delta. If so, it will spread across the world and probably replace Delta as the dominant COVID-19 strain. The mutations could also make it unstable, which would be bad news for Omicron and great news for us.

This is not the last COVID-19 variant, and the best thing you can do to stop it is to get vaccinated. Higher vaccination rates mean that there are less hosts for the virus to infect, and less chance for it to mutate.

Covid Swabs done.
