The Centre for Global Health Education, which he heads, develops and provides clinical education to healthcare providers in resource limited settings around the world. He has also been a leader in the development and use of distance learning and mHealth technology.
On Friday there will also be the usual presentation of work of the departments of general practice in Ireland and their research partners in parallel sessions and posters. We particularly welcome work from undergraduate and postgraduate students and general practice registrars. The McCormick and Irwin prizes will be awarded during the course of the conference for the best poster and oral presentations.
