Yearly Archives: 2023

Webdoctor.ie Ireland’s award-winning online GP service, announced the demand for their video consultation service increased by 50% in 2022 after a particularly strong last quarter with a total revenue increase of over 40% year-on-year.

The Contraceptive Pill and Patch, Hair Loss and Erectile Dysfunction were the most requested treatments of 2022 by Webdoctor.ie patients, while the organisation’s new treatment for Period Delay was also in high demand, achieving a growth increase of over 200%.

The Irish owned health technology platform also revealed that the most requested treatments for female patients in 2022 were for the Contraceptive Pill and Patch, Period Delay and Cystitis (also known as a Urinary Tract Infection) while the most requested treatments for male patients were for Hair Loss, Erectile Dysfunction and interestingly, Asthma.

The most common treatments for female Webdoctor.ie patients last year include:

Contraceptive Pill and Patch

Of those who had a contraceptive pill or patch related consultation, 79% were aged 18-35, with the majority being Dublin based. There was an 18% increase in the percentage of women between the ages of 35-44 availing of this treatment in 2022 in comparison to 2021.

Period Delay

Period Delay, a new treatment provided by Webdoctor.ie, saw a 200%+ increase in usage throughout 2022. 69% of those being prescribed the treatment are Leinster based, with a majority (74%) between the ages of 25-44.

Cystitis (Urinary Tract Infection)

2022 saw a rise in patients seeking treatment for Cystitis. This treatment was in demand by females of all ages:

  • 22% of those availing of treatment aged 18-24
  • 43% were aged 25-34
  • 21% were aged 35-44
  • 14% were aged 45+

Weight Management

The majority (90%) of those who sought advice and treatment from Webdoctor.ie’s weight management clinic were female. Webdoctor.ie has recently added this service which is only suitable for patients that are diagnosed as medically obese. This treatment was availed of by patients across the country, with 38% based in Dublin, almost one third (32%) based across the rest of Leinster and 18% being Munster based.

The most common treatments for male Webdoctor.ie patients last year include:

Hair Loss

Treatment for Hair Loss was availed of by male Webdoctor.ie patients only, with almost a quarter (72%) of those aged between 25-44. Since 2020, hair loss treatment has accounted for over 10% of Webdoctor.ie’s revenue, making it the third most popular service provided by the telehealth provider.

Erectile Dysfunction

Similarly to 2021, the statistics revealed that treatment for Erectile Dysfunction remains as one of the top treatments for male Webdoctor.ie patients in 2022, with half of those aged 45 and over and a further 30% aged between 45-54. These statistics show that despite any apparent stigma or embarrassment associated with sexual health concerns, patients are comfortable using an online GP for a consultation about Erectile Dysfunction.

Asthma

Asthma related consultations were common across all age demographics, however, those aged 25-44 account for 69% of these.

Commenting on these findings, David Crimmins, CEO of Webdoctor.ie says:

“It’s clear from the increase in demand for our video consultation services at Webdoctor.ie last year that the future of telehealth is strong and the need for our services looks like it will continue to grow – particularly as a support to brick and mortar clinics as online healthcare providers can really help ease the pressure on in person GPs during busy periods.

The statistics also show that patients are comfortable using online GP services now for all kinds of health and medical issues, which is great to see. We always want to ensure we’re meeting the needs of our patients which is why we’ve introduced a range of new services over the last year such as our Weight Management Clinic and new treatment for Period Delay, with more launching in the coming months”.

Fans have been sharing their support online for Boy George after the tragic death of his mum, Dinah, was announced yesterday.

The Culture Club singer’s representatives confirmed the sad news of Dinah’s passing on social media by sharing a statement on Boy George’s behalf. 

The statement was shared alongside a photo of George and his mum, and reveals Dinah passed away surrounded by her family, with George holding her hand.

It reads, “I am very sad to confirm the news of the passing of Boy George’s beloved mother Dinah. George is devastated as are the family. They were all by her bedside when she passed and George was holding her hand".

"He wants me to extend his deep gratitude to the huge out pouring of love and support he is receiving and whilst he can’t respond he feels grateful and the messages help”.

It closed off by adding, “George and his family would politely now request some privacy to be able to grieve and come to terms with their heartbreaking loss. On his behalf many thanks for your support, PK for and on behalf of Boy George”.

Many fans of the singer rushed to the comments to share their condolences with George. “I’m so sorry for your loss, sending love to you and the rest of your family”, wrote one fan. 

A second penned, “My deepest condolences to George and the family. Sending gentle hugs. I’ve read her book again this morning. I adore and admire her. May she rest in peace”.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by  (@cultureclubofficial)

“It's such sad news. She was a wonderful, strong and inspiring woman. I send my condolences to Boy George all his family”, added another of George’s many fans.

Boy George recently competed in I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, where he spoke fondly about his mum and revealed she was hospitalised during the height of the Covid pandemic in 2020 and almost lost her life at the time.

George spoke candidly with former Health Secretary Matt Hancock during his time in the jungle about his mum’s hospitalisation, sharing how upsetting it was that Matt had broken his own lockdown guidelines while George couldn’t visit his mum in hospital.

Dinah, who was born in Dublin, wrote a book called Cry Salty Tears. It was published in 2007 and was based on the hardships of her life growing up in the 50’s and overcoming her abusive relationship with George’s dad, Jeremiah, who died in 2003.

Stacey Solomon has been getting candid about life as a mum.

The Sort Your Life Out presenter has recently welcomed a fifth addition into her family, a baby daughter named Belle.

Although Stacey generally has a gloriously positive attitude, the 33-year-old has opened up about her self-doubts as a mother.

Taking to Instagram last night, Stacey shared a collection of images from the previous day, including some mirror selfies with one-year-old Rose, three-year-old Rex and baby Belle as she feeds.

“Feeling like I smashed it today,” the mum-of-five wrote at the start of her lengthy caption. “Don’t mind if I sound big headed but I felt like a superhuman today.” 

Stacey went on to explain that she has been struggling with motherhood recently. “For some reason lately I’ve found it easy to tell myself that I’m failing or doing a rubbish job & I never tell myself how well im doing,” she admitted. “Three 3 & under & two teenagers is wonderful but it’s not easy.”

The former X Factor star then detailed the small wins she achieved that day. “Joe did a night feed for me last night & then went to work So we did the school runs and then afterwards I managed to make it for the first time EVER to Rhyme time at the library with Rex, Rose & Belle,” she beamed.

“Spent some time with other mum’s & felt so nice to see Rex & Belle enjoying being out of the house,” Stacey continued. “Then we stayed out as long as we could, came home, played play dough shops, did tuna pasta dinner & this evening was swimming lesson for Rexy.”

At the end of her caption, Stacey gave an invaluable reminder to her 5.6M followers. “Sorry for the essay. but basically Just a little reminder that you’re doing amazing, even when you feel like you’re not. You’re so incredible don’t forget to tell yourself that sometimes,” she insisted.

Stacey welcomed baby Belle into the world last month, alongside her husband Joe Swash. The couple share youngsters Rose and Rex together, while Stacey is also a mum to teenage sons Zachary (14) and Leighton (10) from previous relationships.

Well done to Stacey for being so honest!

The 67-year-old added, “You have used these challenges as opportunities to better yourself day by day, and I know how proud your mom is of the man you have become. Thank you for that and for being such a special part of our family. We love you very much!!!”.

“Honestly, we’ve been telling everyone – how we’re supposed to keep his name under wraps (yep we’ve decided!) is beyond me… We’ve just been SO excited”.

“These little boys are my world & I truly believe – ‘you get what you need’ (think I saw that on a t shirt somewhere…) but it’s so true”.

“Dirt, snails & puppy dog tails. And yes, cards on the table – there is ALOT of dirt.. & snails & all manner of other ungodly faff… but there’s also SO much more. The old stereotypes just don’t apply anymore – to boys OR girls”.

Caroline Flack’s mother has responded to an apology she has received from the Metropolitan Police.

The former Love Island presenter tragically took her own life in February 2020 at the age of 40. 

At the time of her death, Caroline had been waiting to face prosecution for assaulting her boyfriend at the time, Lewis Burton. 

Initially, Caroline only received a caution for the incident. However, that decision was subsequently appealed by a senior police officer, which then led to Caroline being charged with assault by beating.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Caroline (@carolineflack)

The Metropolitan Police were later criticised for their handling of Caroline’s case, as it was apparent that they had not recorded the reason why the late X Factor host had been charged at the time.

The organisation has since apologised for their handling of Caroline’s case, but her family have spoken out in disagreement. 

Speaking to Victoria Derbyshire on BBC's Newsnight, Caroline’s mother Christine Flack expressed her outrage.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Caroline (@carolineflack)

"It just seems wrong. They haven't said why there were no notes taken, why nothing was recorded. I don't know whether they're covering something,” she stated.

Victoria then asked if she thought Caroline would still be alive if she had just been cautioned, to which Christine replied: "I do, I really do."

Her mother then explained that Caroline focused on her negative publicity. "Once all the pictures came out in the newspapers and things were written about her on social media – they just picked up the bad," Christine detailed. "There was a lot of good, but Caroline wasn't reading the good – she was only reading the bad."

Christine also added that the loss of her Love Island role took its toll on Caroline. "She lost her job straight away, without even being found guilty or going to court. She had another series axed,” she revealed.

In response to the Flack family’s upset, a spokesman for the Met Police said: "Our thoughts and sympathies remain with Ms Flack's family for their loss and we are sorry for the impact this has had on them."

It’s Love Island final day!

The final episode of this year’s winter series is finally here, and tonight, one of the four remaining couples will be crowned the winners of Love Island in South Africa.

To celebrate, the ITV show’s producers have released a first look teaser for tonight’s final episode, showing the four couples – Kai and Sanam, Tom and Samie, Lana and Ron, and Shaq and Tanya – preparing to make their declarations of love.

However, the road to the final has not been a smooth one, particularly after a huge blunder from the Love Island team last night.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Love Island (@loveisland)

During the broadcast of last night’s episode, presenter Maya Jama took to her own Instagram stories to share a video of herself outside the Love Island villa with a live studio audience, preparing to host Love Island Aftersun.

Unfortunately, the 28-year-old posted the joyful video without realising that it contained a huge spoiler. In the background, contestants Will and Jessie could clearly be seen, confirming that fans were about to watch them exit the villa.

Maya’s accidental spoiler quickly circulated on social media, and the result was spread even further by ITV producers.

In the teaser preview for Aftersun, which aired moments before the dumping result was due to be shown, the cameras panned to Will and Jessie waving as Maya exclaimed, “Join me tonight in South Africa live from the villa! Dumped Islanders Will and Jessie and Casey and Rosie will be sharing the goss."

Fans were understandably outraged by the unexpected spoiler, and took to social media to vent their frustrations.

“Producers saw Maya already leaked who got dumped so just thought to tell us on the advert for aftersun,” one Twitter user assumed.

“Livid about this just literally been watching and waiting to find out,” another wrote.

“I was patiently waiting, then boom! The ad break reveals all. Disappointed,” a third viewer commented.

Despite the spoiler mixup, fans are still looking forward to the final – but who will be crowned the winners? Tune into Love Island tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media One to find out!

Kerry Katona has opened up about her childrens’ lives and how they are impacted by having her as a mum. 

The former Atomic Kitten band member has revealed her children have been ‘treated differently’ at school because of her job and who she is. 

While writing in her OK! column, Kerry agreed with comedian Katherine Ryan who recently said her daughter gets different treatment because her mum is famous. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Kerry Katona (@kerrykatona7)

Kerry explained, “I can totally relate to comedian Katherine Ryan, who says her 13-year-old daughter Violet is treated differently at school because the teacher doesn’t like her famous mum”.

“My children get so much crap because of who I am. In the past, I think they’ve definitely been treated differently by teachers, other pupils and even parents”.

The 42-year-old continued, “When we first moved up north, my Heidi had to change schools straight away because boys in her class were teasing her over me being on OnlyFans”.

“People read things about me and then judge my kids. That’s not fair. They never asked for me to be their mum. My downfall should not be on their shoulders”.

Katona also shared an insight into being the main breadwinner in her family. “I don’t think it’s taboo at all. I’ve always been the breadwinner and think it’s something we should be proud of and shouting about”.

“There’s nothing wrong with being the breadwinner as a female, but it does come with a lot of pressure”.

The former Celebs Go Dating star added, “I provide for my children and don’t get help from their dads, so I have to go out there and make money”.

Kerry is mum to five children- 21-year-old Molly, 20-year-old Lilly-Sue, 16-year-old Heidi, 14-year-old Maxwell and eight-year-old Dylan-Jorge.

Did you know your skin needs oxygen to look and feel its best? It’s true: the oxygen we breathe is vital to our survival – and to our skin health. As we age, our skin takes in oxygen less effectively. Without sufficient oxygen, it can’t maintain its natural vitality. Lifestyle and environmental factors like diet, air pollution, and lack of sleep can exacerbate skin aging and slow down skin’s capacity to respond to a lack of oxygen. This can show up as fine lines, wrinkles, and an overall appearance that is dull, tired and depleted.

Fortunately, reawakening skin is as simple as taking advantage of the oxygen that is all around us. Phyto Nature Oxygen Cream breathes new life into aging skin. This firming and lifting liquid moisturizer utilizes a blend of oxygen-optimizing botanical actives, including one derived from a plant that thrives in low-oxygen environments, to help skin better absorb oxygen – firming, revitalizing and plumping to leave skin looking smooth and strong.

Phyto Nature Oxygen Cream firms, lifts and revitalizes with rare and premium actives:

  • High-altitude Ligustrum Lucidum seed + Glycogen + hand-harvested Nasturtium Flower help oxygenate skin’s surface by hydrating its upper layers for a smooth, energized appearance.
  • Extracted via eco-friendly subcritical water technology
  • Adaptogenic Astragalus+ smooths and tightens for a lifted look.
  • Certified sustainable. Extracted using an eco-friendly process.
  • Luffa Root + Squalane visibly firm, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • 100% eco-friendly. Processed using 90% less water than traditional methods.
  • Antioxidant-rich Rose of Winter soothes and boosts skin’s resilience.

It is also clinically proven to give 4 years back – delivering skin that looks firmer and  more lifted after just 1 week.*
