Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Recruitment, Retention and Manpower Planning Issues: Irish College of General Practitioners
Dr. Diarmuid Quinlan:
It is a very broad course because general practice is very broad. It deals with subjects such as children, childhood vaccination, cervical smears and chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Our nurses are really excellent at managing stable chronic disease. Also covered are the care of older people and palliative care. The course will cover the whole spectrum.
