Members Services

The most convenient way of accessing information on member support services is through the ICGP website - a comprehensive resource developed by GPs for GPs. Whether you need advice on a practice issue, need to find a reference, are registering for a course, or require a colleague's contact details, it is all available at one location: www.icgp.ie.

Education

The College is aware of the competing demands on your time and has developed innovative education: E-learning, courses, workshops, CME small group meetings, faculty events and College conferences to respond to your educational needs to learn at a time and pace that suits you.
See www.icgp.ie/courses.

CME Small Group

The CME Small Group network provides an opportunity for meeting your continuing medical education needs by attending small group meetings organised and run by a local CME tutor. This allows you to keep up-to-date within a friendly, well structured format. These meetings with colleagues in active general practice from your area take place once per month and allow peers to discuss and learn about topics relevant to modern general practice.
See www.icgp.ie/cme

Establishing in Practice
The College's Network of Establishing GPs project supports GPs in the early years of their career and establishing in practice.
