Professor Pat Nash, Consultant Cardiologist at Blackrock Health, explains the types of screening tests available for heart disease.
Professor Nash always checks key factors like smoking, diet, weight, lifestyle, exercise, and blood pressure. If there’s a strong family history, a CT Calcium Score – a powerful tool for gaining deeper insights and guiding personalised prevention strategies – might be recommended for more detail.

An eating plan that emphasizes eating A LOT of food, not a little? It isn’t too good to be true — it’s the premise behind volume eating. @ClevelandClinic

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. Did you know this condition affects 1 in 10 women?
Endometriosis can cause debilitating pain, fertility issues, and significantly impact quality of life.
Megan Davenport, MISCP, Senior Physiotherapist in Pelvic Health at Blackrock Clinic, sheds light on the condition and its symptoms:
“Endometriosis can affect women at any age, from puberty to menopause, though its impact may persist throughout life. It is not just “bad period pain”—it is a long-term condition, and each person’s experience with endometriosis is different.
Women with endometriosis experience a wide range of symptoms, with the most commonly recognised including:
– Heavy periods (needing to change pads/tampons every hour or so)
– Painful periods that interfere with daily activities
– Pelvic, abdominal or back pain, sometimes radiating down the thighs
– Pain during or after sex
– Pain with urination or having a bowel motion
Fatigue, bloating and nausea can also be experienced as well as anxiety and depression.

Lorraine Cooney, Specialist Gastroenterology Dietitian and Head of Dietetics Department at Blackrock Health, Blackrock Clinic #WorldIBDDay #GutHealth
This World IBD Day, we’re recognising the strength of those living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Conditions like Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis can be unpredictable, often bringing physical discomfort and emotional strain.
As Lorraine Cooney, Specialist Gastroenterology Dietitian and Head of Dietetics Department at Blackrock Health, Blackrock Clinic, says,
“IBD affects more than just your gut—it can impact every part of life. And diet in IBS matters! There’s no one-size-fits-all, so support should be personal. The right approach depends on your type of IBD, how active it is, any IBS-type symptoms, your nutrition status, culture and even your relationship with food. On World IBD Day, let’s raise awareness and remind people with IBD that they’re not alone.”
At Blackrock Health, our gastroenterology teams understand the impact of IBD. Across our three hospitals, we offer expert care, timely diagnostics, and ongoing support to help patients manage symptoms and take back control of their health.
If you’re living with IBD or experiencing persistent digestive issues, we’re here to help.
