Smoke Free Campus ๐Ÿšญ The Rotunda Hospital, the oldest continuously operating maternity hospital in the world, and one of the busiest in Europe! We pride ourselves on respecting the individual womanโ€™s right to choose the care pathway that suits her needs and celebrate the fact that for over 274 years, hundreds of thousands of women have trusted the Rotunda to care for themselves and their babies during this precious and exciting time. Founded in 1745 by Bartholomew Mosse, surgeon and man-midwife, the original Dublin Lying-In Hospital was a maternity training hospital, the first of its kind anywhere. In 1757, the institution moved to a different location where it became โ€œThe New Lying-In Hospitalโ€. This is the hospital complex that is referred to today as simply โ€œThe Rotundaโ€. The Rotunda Hospital is unique as an institution in that it has continued to provide an unbroken record of service to women and babies since its foundation in 1745 and has occupied its present premises since 1757.

It's World Book Day today! Sharing books with babies right from the start will help them to listen carefully and then begin to talk. These early experiences will help them to become confident readers and writers as they grow older.

When sharing books with babies, it can be helpful to turn off any background noise such as television or music so that your baby can focus on sharing a book with you.

Itโ€™s International HPV awareness day. HPV, short for Human Papillomavirus, is a very common virus. There are many different types of HPV and almost everyone will get HPV at some point in their lives. HPV is spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact, including vaginal, a**l, or oral s*x, even if the infected person doesnโ€™t have any signs or symptoms.

Regular screenings and open communication with healthcare professionals can help with monitoring and managing HPV-related health concerns. For more information, visit www.hpvaware.ie
