PhD

We were the first department in the country to award a PhD in Primary Care. We are very keen to have PhD students and are proud of the support which we provide to them. PhD graduates have gone on to senior careers in Irish clinical medicine, public health in the UK and the WHO in the Philippines.  We are focused on the research themes illustrated below and please do contact the lead person associated with these.
