The Irish College of GPs celebrates the highest ever number of GP graduates at its graduation ceremony in Dublin, welcoming 233 new doctors to the Specialist Register, including 207 GP trainees from the 2025 programme and 26 doctors from the International Medical Graduate Rural GP programme. Congratulations to all.

The College has opened its new headquarters in Dublin 2, marking a significant milestone in the country's healthcare system. The new headquarters provide expanded space for the college's growth as the primary training organisation for GPs, a resource for members to meet and learn, and a hub for the development of the growing number of staff.

Irish College of GPs calls for sustained investment in the Primary Care workforce, and a focus on staffing deficits in rural general practice. Pre-Budget submission calls for the inclusion of Mental Health in the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) programme.

Irish College of GPs publishes “Strengthening the Future of General Practice”, a set of 5 priorities to ensure General Practice is at the frontline of Irish healthcare.

The College welcomes the latest publication by the Department of Health on the challenges of demand for GPs in the future. Resources are required to enable GPs to set up in areas of high population growth and rural areas.
