Glenfield has sealed a permanent move to League of Ireland side Waterford after an initial shining loan spell with the Blues who spent the second-half of the 2024 season at the RSC after linking up on a temporary basis from English League Two outfit Fleetwood Town and shone as an all-action midfielder will remain part of Keith Long’s panel for good after agreeing a multi-year deal A product of Portadown’s ranks who made his Irish League debut for the Shamrock Park side aged just 15 in October 2020 Glenfield – who rose to prominence as a striker at first – earned a move across the water to Fleetwood in 2022 and made a handful of first-team appearances for the Fishermen prior to his switch to Waterford in July 2024 The gifted 19-year-old’s box-to-box style quickly made him a fans’ favourite and after featuring 10 times and scoring twice as Waterford finished seventh place to survive their first season back in the Premier Division he expressed his delight at committing his future to the Munster club on a longer-term basis “I had a great time at Waterford in the summer and I’m happy to have signed a new contract,” Glenfield who has seven Northern Ireland Under-19 caps to date “I think we can continue where we left off last season “The gaffer and his backroom team trusted me last year and I’m looking to repay them by hitting the ground running and I’m looking forward to seeing them again and getting back out on the pitch with the lads.” Manager Long was also glad to snap up Glenfield permanently with eye-catching strikes in separate clashes versus Bohemians ranking at the top of his 2024 highlight reel “We’re delighted to secure the permanent signing of Sam Glenfield,” he said “Sam is a player who is an extremely important member of our squad – a player

League of Ireland season and has now made the permanent move across to the RSC ahead of 2025 The stylish box-to-box midfielder caught the eye of the Blues supporters with his aggressive tackling along with his attacking threat on the ball.  The Blues number 19 made ten appearances for the Blues in his first stint with the club netting two stunning strikes against Bohemians in two separate clashes.

delighted to turn his move into a permanent deal when he spoke to waterfordfc.ie “I had a great time at Waterford in the summer and I’m happy to have signed a new contract I think we can continue

Screencaps went viral on #CardioTwitter, touched off a firestorm on Twitter and Reddit and left professional cardiology societies scrambling to draft their reactions Today, the Glenfield Cardiology account tweeted a three-part acknowledgement walking back their original congratulations and stipulating that their “nursing colleague” was not the lead operator: “Last week We want to make clear that the lead operator for the procedure was a consultant structural interventionist We regret the public scrutiny a dedicated colleague has faced as a result of our post that SOP does not carve out a role for an ANP as an operator It expressly specifies that all TAVI procedures involve “a lead cardiologist one valve loader [although two is ‘preferred’] and one electrophysiologist.” The SOP goes on to say that the second operator be “a consultant or appropriately trained specialist registrar,” both of which are terms that refer to physicians in the UK John Steele is listed as a Registered Nurse (Adult) in the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) website but no advanced degrees are listed in his NMC record (an ANP requires a master’s degree) Asked for confirmation of the ANP’s credentials the UHL communications manager has said he has passed along the question to senior management Reactions to the controversy run the gamut from support for qualified ANPs learning new skills to accusations that senior leadership are championing the training of nonphysicians at a time when junior doctors seeking structural training are being turned aside The British Cardiovascular Society (BCS) and the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society (BCIS) both issued carefully worded statements to TCTMD last week that seemed to leave a door open for nonphysicians—with the right training—to take leadership roles in complex procedures “The BCS supports all cardiovascular healthcare workers to deliver the best care to their patients or clinical scientists,” the BCS statement read “Cardiology has always been at the frontier of new models of healthcare delivery and new device therapies to ultimately improve patient symptoms and quality of life.” stating: “ANP involvement in TAVI should be seen as complementary rather than competitive with trainees As medicine has changed so there has increasingly been a role for advanced nurse practitioners to take on responsibilities that were previously considered to be the domain of doctors.” Of note, however, BCIS issued a public statement today containing much of the same language provided to TCTMD but with the addition of some sterner wording including the reminder that TAVI procedures “carry a mortality” risk The word “cardiologist” supplants the word “physician” as the person responsible for TAVI procedures and there’s now mention of “various” complications that can arise during or after the interventions Shelley Wood was the Editor-in-Chief of TCTMD and the Editorial Director at the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) from October 2015… and topical videos covering the spectrum of CVD and presentations from major meetings right to your inbox TCTMD ® is produced by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation ® (CRF) CRF ® is committed to igniting the next wave of innovation in research and education that will help doctors save and improve the quality of their patients’ lives New at TCTMD?

talent O’Neill has been working with a young squad in Spain this month as he looks to build another side that can qualify for a major tournament The former Stoke City boss is not afraid to give players a taste of senior international football if he feels it can help their development Players have made the step up from Tommy Wright’s Under-21s while Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Pierce Charles the younger brother of Northern Ireland midfielder Shea left Gareth McAuley’s Under-19s to join the senior panel for the first time ahead of the friendlies against Spain and Andorra Liverpool’s 20-year-old hero Conor Bradley stole the show in Murcia with a brace against Andorra McAuley’s young side drew twice with Slovakia — 2-2 at Seaview and 1-1 at Inver Park — as part of their preparations for the Under-19 Euros next month The tournament will put a spotlight on the rising stars and Glenfield can sense a real hunger among the players to seize that opportunity “Gareth (McAuley) is very much into the players pushing the standards so he leaves it to us and lets us set the standards daily both on and off the pitch,” said the 19-year-old gives us our own control around it and everyone is looking to impress “It’s massive seeing the likes of Pierce Charles get a call-up Michael (O’Neill) isn’t scared to throw young players in and you’ve seen that with the likes of Conor Bradley "My friends at Fleetwood like CJ (Carl Johnston) and Stephen McMullan are up there regularly so it’s a great incentive to do well “Tommy (Wright) comes down to watch training so they keep a close eye on you and they aren’t afraid to throw young players in if they are doing well.” Glenfield joined Fleetwood in August 2022 from Portadown when the then League One side was managed by former Celtic and Scotland midfielder Scott Brown former Scotland and Rangers midfielder Charlie Adam was named the first team coach in his first senior managerial role but Town suffered relegation to League Two Glenfield made his senior Portadown debut against Coleraine in October 2020 at the age of 15 and went on to make 10 first team appearances The European Under-19 Championship Finals are being hosted in Northern Ireland from July 15 to 28 “Everyone is excited and all of our friends and family will be there which gives us a good incentive to kick on and do well.” “The spirits are great and everyone is raring to get going We were saying the other week there’s only around 40 days to go so everyone is excited we’re taking everything on board and looking forward to getting into the swing of things “We’ve been given a great opportunity to have the tournament on home soil and to qualify right through to the finals so everyone is excited and raring to get going Give us anyone — we’ll take the game to them.” Northern Ireland have been drawn in Group A with Italy Sam Glenfield has been called-up to the Northern Ireland U21-side for their upcoming 2025 European Championship

of the season to give Waterford a deserved share of the spoils to deny Bohemians boss Alan Reynolds his first win over his hometown club Waterford FC in their SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division clash at the RSC With former Bohs boss and Blues head coach Keith Long having the better of the previous three meetings it looked as if his side were going to go down to a fine James Clarke header nine minutes from time but for a second time this season against Bohs The first half wasn’t anything to write home and neither was the second for long periods as the game had that end-of-season feel about it from early on despite Kacper Radkowski forcing James Talbot into a fine save within two minutes His low left-footed shot was turned out for a corner Dayle Rooney sent in two teasing right-wing corner-kicks for the visitors that only needed a touch but the Waterford defence stood firm before the best chance for the home side fell to Pádraig Amond on 38 minutes after Barry Baggley’s flag-kick only for his volley to be cleared off the line Long’s side were the busier in the attacking sense in the second half with Connor Parsons setting the tone within seconds of the restart only for his angled effort from the left to flash inches wide of the target before a big chance fell the way of Christie Pattisson who was a mere spectator for a lot of the game made an excellent save to deny Adam McDonnell on 75 minutes Dawson Devoy sent over a left-wing free-kick that found the head of James Clarke and he powered a header to the near corner But time ticked into the third minute of added time Glenfield scored a brilliant equalising goal when the Fleetwood Town loanee let fly with a half-volley that flew past the helpless James Talbot with the same player going close to winning seconds later only to be denied by a fingertip Talbot save McCormack (McDonald 69); Pattisson (Flynn 69) Low-sensory quiet time for our diverse local community with quiet voices and

Haves said they wanted to see better regulation for small battery disposal "It's a big priority for us to try and improve and mitigate the health and safety concerns of fires occurring." She said the council was doing testing on battery fires to understand how to manage the environmental impacts "We'd also like to see better regulation for small battery disposal and regulated product stewardship-schemes for e-waste that would apply right across the country nothing is mandated or required so it's kind of an information approach without being able to She encouraged people to dispose of small batteries properly by taping them up and dropping them at appropriate sites "It all helps taking them out of the waste stream."
