College Policy on Membership Database & Find a GP Service

The ICGP Online Find a GP Service

The policy and usage terms of the online Find a GP service is clearly stated on our website and is as follows:

The ICGP Find a GP service is intended for use by the general public to locate a GP. It only contains the names of GPs who have agreed to have their details listed for this purpose in this format. This list is not validated and only contains GPs who are members of the ICGP and who have opted to be included in such a listing. The service should not be used for any other purpose including chain letters, junk mail, spam, solicitations (commercial or non-commercial) or bulk communications of any kind unless the recipient has given specific permission to be included in such a list.

Hence this list should not be used for research purposes unless the recipients have agreed in advance to receive the specific material.

The ICGP Membership Database

The ICGP policy with regard to access to its membership for research purposes is stated on www.icgp.ie and is as follows:

As of May 2011, the ICGP does not provide access to its membership database or provide members' names to any other organisation/individual for research or any other purpose.
