Dr. John Lambert:

There is no current training for GPs. I have run a couple of workshops that have been attended by 15 to 20 GPs. There are 3,000 GPs in Ireland. There is no current programme.

In London, the Royal College of General Practitioners has now assigned a GP to train GPs. She has gone out around the country teaching GPs how to get the early diagnosis to catch it early. That is an important strategy. It is something we should replicate in Ireland.
