Bon Secours Health System Limerick at Barringtons hosted a GP Study morning in the Dunraven Arms Hotel on Saturday the 17th of June. The event was a great success and hosted 30 local GP’s from the Mid-West region. The format for the morning was a round table discussion and proceedings were opened by Mr. Jason Kenny, the newly appointed Hospital Manager who warmly welcomed all delegates to a highly engaged learning session.
Overall there were 7 subjects covered as hosted below by the Consultants and the morning's learning awarded 4 CPD points. The informal learning session saw each of the Consultants host a table, this created an involved learning session as each of the Consultants moved table to table throughout the morning to meet with all the delegates.
The overall agenda for the morning was as follows:
