The National Doctor Training and Planning (NDTP) Lead Non – Consultant Hospital Doctors (NCHD) Programme, in partnership with the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP), have introduced a programme called “A GP for every NCHD.”
As you begin your work here in UL Hospitals Group I would like very much to welcome you and give you some advice to promote and protect your health & wellbeing. This is a stressful and worrying time for all of us and possibly even more so for you. Remember to look after your physical and mental health. Make sure you eat food! Prioritise sleep and exercise. Stay in virtual contact with your family and friends – always know there is someone you can talk to. Lastly, don’t use smoking, alcohol or other drugs to deal with your emotions. If you feel overwhelmed talk to the intern co-ordinators or ring one of the confidential staff support helplines. All the very best, Laura Tobin. Health & Wellbeing Project Manager.
While this city may be new to many of you, we strongly encourage you to register with your own GP for your period of time here. This is so important to give you the space to have a confidential discussion where you may need it and professional care. Please see below a list of Limerick GPs from the ICGP.
