A young Roscommon doctor who's moving to Australia in January says part of her reason is down to the lack of respect shown by the HSE to health care workers in this country.

Dr Joanne Cregg began studying medicine in 2016 and she contracted Covid days before Christmas last year soon after beginning work in a Galway hospital .

Joanne only finally got the all clear in May of this year having had chest pain and other symptoms that stated with her for several months.

Thankfully she went on to make a full recovery and was able to go back to playing football for Roscommon.

The Roscommon woman is now planning to move to Australia and says part of the reason for moving is family related, but she also wants to try to have a proper work/life balance.

Joanne was talking to Anne Norris on the Let's Talk show this afternoon.
