Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community

Traveller Health: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Tony Cox:

We all have Traveller patients. In my practice in Ennis, I have many Traveller patients, as does Dr. Favier in Cork. Our trainees and registrars will encounter Traveller patients all the time in normal practice in the community. They will live those lives with them, share their stories and understand their healthcare needs and the problems they have. Hopefully, by being mentored by those of us who have been in practice for a long time and who have been working in the community with our patients, they will take on the objectives we have put down in our core curriculum.
