Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Hospital Doctor Retention and Motivation Project: Discussion

Dr. Niamh Humphries:

That is a very difficult question to answer. What we can speak to is our own experience. Where I struggle at the moment is knowing where to go with our findings. Obviously, this morning has been a wonderful opportunity but we are really eager to use our findings to inform policy change. It is very difficult to know who in the system we should be speaking to, however.

I recently presented to a group of medical manpower managers, which was incredible, but it is very difficult to identify who the right people are within policy circles or hospital circles to whom we should be speaking. It would be really helpful if people could direct us to whom in the system we should be speaking in order that they hear our findings and can use them to inform policy change. That does not answer the Deputy's question at all but that is something I wanted to raise.
