Patrick has recently been 'promoted' to the over 45's category :) and enjoys competing on the Masters Squash circuit.
'Having a few events locked into the calendar keeps the focus there' . The reward at the end of the days is that the top five ranked players in each category go on to represent their country at the home internationals where England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales play off for the number one spot.

Patrick is really looking forward to the last event of the season , The Nationals, which will be held in Fitzwilliam LTC, Dublin at the end of the month.

Sandra's Volunteering Adventure in Tanzania

On the 10th of January, I travelled, with my friend Carrie, to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania for three unforgettable weeks.

We had the privilege of volunteering at Muhimbili National Hospital, specifically within the Muhimbili Orthopaedic Institute — Tanzania’s national referral hospital, where some of the most complex cases from across the country are treated.

During our time there, we rotated through private wards, ICU, HDU, paediatric wards and theatre. The majority of severe injuries we encountered were the result of road traffic accidents, particularly motorbike accidents, and many of the cases were life-changing.

We met a 25-year-old woman recovering from an above-knee amputation, a 12-year-old boy with a traumatic brain injury after falling from a tree, and a 13-year-old who developed a severe hip infection that led to necrosis and fusion. These were stories of resilience in its rawest form.

Staff often had to carry out incredibly thorough assessments without equipment we often take for granted: such as goniometers, measuring tapes, reflex hammers, sometimes not even enough pillows for positioning. Yet every single member of staff was passionate, resourceful and deeply committed to advocating for their patients with the tools they had.

Thanks to the generosity of everyone who supported my coffee morning fundraiser and GoFundMe, we were able to donate two portable TENS machines, two massage guns, three grip-strength devices and a spine and pelvis skeleton for education within the physiotherapy department. Seeing that equipment placed directly into their hands was a full-circle moment I’m so proud of.

This experience changed me, not just as a physiotherapist, but as a person. I am so grateful to my friends, family and local community for their unwavering support. This volunteering mission would not have been possible without them.

Tanzania, thank you for the lessons in resilience, humility and compassion. May this trip be the first of many to Tanzania.

Sandra is a Chartered Physiotherapist originally from Mitchelstown, with a strong passion for musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy.

She completed her undergraduate studies at University College Cork, where she studied Biological and Chemical Sciences, majoring in Physiology, before going on to complete her Master’s in Physiotherapy at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh.

From early on in her training, Sandra had a keen interest in how the body works and moves, alongside a lifelong involvement in sport. While keeping an open mind across all areas of physiotherapy, her musculoskeletal placement in Scotland and sports medicine elective placement at UPMC Cork reinforced her desire to pursue a career in MSK and sports rehabilitation.

Sandra has a particular interest in sporting injuries and orthopaedic conditions, and she is passionate about providing evidence-based, individualised treatment to help patients return to activity safely and confidently.
