Meet the host of The GP Podcast

Meet the host of The GP Podcast, Dr. John Maher.  A GP working in the South East of Ireland, John qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2002 and worked in industry and practice in Ireland and abroad, before returning to education in 2007, graduating from UCD School of Medicine in 2013.  He completed his GP Training with the Irish College of GPs in 2019, via the North Dublin City GP Scheme. John has extensive experience in teaching, having worked as Course Director and Teacher with the Institute of Education in Dublin throughout his years in undergraduate medicine.  His decades-long interest in broadcasting began at the age of 13, when he became the youngest person in Ireland to hold an amateur radio licence.  While working as a GP Registrar in 2017, he applied his teaching and audio engineering skills to the development of a successful medical education podcast, which was shortlisted for a GP Buddy Innovation in Practice award in 2018. The GP Podcast from the Irish College of GPs combines John’s clinical and teaching experience with his passion for podcasting, to produce educational content with GP experts that focuses on real-world clinical practice in Ireland.
