Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland

Mr. Damien Donoghue:

One can see that with other specialties. People do their fellowships to specialise. As the Senator said, the density of the population centres dictate the ability to specialise in that area but it goes back to the point of how serious the condition is taken. If funding and research is going to be put behind this and it is appropriately staffed, there would then be a mechanism to send clinicians on those exchanges to do more in-depth training. There is definitely merit in doing that but supports must be in place here to allow that to happen.
