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.

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.

Blackrock Health starting drone delivery for medical supplies
Blackrock Health, Blackrock Clinic, through a partnership with healthcare technology company Medtronic and medical drone delivery partners Apian and Wing, will begin receiving medical supplies via drone delivery in the coming days.
The partnership has been designed to trial faster, more reliable, and sustainable medical logistics – supporting patients as they receive the care they need, sooner. Medical drone deliveries have the potential to create more efficient healthcare systems, with less wastage of medical supplies, and more space for patient-facing care facilities as providers receive what they need, when they need it. The program will run over the next several months.
“At Blackrock Health, innovation is at the core of what we do, and this partnership is a prime example of the opportunities that exist when integrating technology into healthcare industry, with an added benefit of supporting our commitment to sustainability,” shared Dr. Caroline Whelan, CEO of Blackrock Health “We are excited by the possibilities that come with this drone delivery service, and hope to expand this beyond receiving medical supplies, by extending use to other services in time between our hospitals.”
Currently, hospitals depend on road vehicles to transport medical supplies to hospitals or healthcare centres, but urban locations experience frequent delays due to congestion, as well as associated higher carbon emissions. Wing’s drones, which are being used in this programme, are lightweight and electric, and can make quicker, more reliable deliveries than traditional modes of transport, as seen in its more than 350,000 commercial deliveries across the globe. They will fly more direct routes and at speeds up to approximately 100 km per hour, avoiding the traffic congestion on Dublin’s roads.
