The School has long recognised the pivotal role of General Practice in the provision of healthcare and in health promotion.
UCD General Practice is led by Professor Walter Cullen and supported by an excellent faculty of Lecturers in General Practice as well as highly enthusiastic and motivated adjunct faculty that makes up Ireland’s largest network of Primary Care physicians.
Led by Dr Cliona McGovern, UCD Forensic & Legal Medicine is a specialist team with expertise in medical law, medical ethics, professional regulation, fitness to practise issues, death investigations, and research ethics. The subject provides modules to undergraduate students in medicine, radiography, physiotherapy and occasional elective modules available to all students across the university. It also provides graduate courses for diverse groups of healthcare professionals and other practitioners as they engage as risk managers, medical and legal practitioners, witnesses, expert witnesses for the courts, and healthcare administrators.
