Mission

To build capacity for research and education in general practice, primary healthcare and public health that has regional, national and international impact.

Aim

To promote inter-disciplinary collaboration in our research and education activities.  

Our specific objectives are to:

1. Create a vibrant network of students and staff  focused on health and well-being in community settings.
2. Build a culture that supports each other’s research through collaboration, discussion and mentoring.
3. Develop and disseminate (journal articles AND public facing online resources) impactful community-based research and research-led teaching.
4. Meaningfully involve community and health sector partners in our research and teaching.

We are an enthusiastic and ambitious group of clinicians, researchers and teachers who want to contribute to the development of general practice, primary care and public health in Ireland and internationally with research of international standing.  We are proud of the fact that our research impacts not only on individual patient care but also on regional and national health policy. We have a highly successfully funding and publication track record nationally and internationally.
