The 5 year course is I think ending the 3 or 4 th year of admissions. They are training in Mil Col, Med Sch, Mil Medical Facilities, GP surgeries and hospitals around the country/overseas and Tallaght GP training scheme

The potential recruits bring their medical notes from their GPs with them and the Dr talks them through their medical history.
On arrival at their Phase 1 training establishment they have another medical, less in-depth than the first, to ensure they are physically robust enough to start training.'History is a vast early warning system'. Norman Cousins

If you look at what was done with Clancy then it wouldn't be much of a problem for any developer.
The officer's mess should stay in the States hands due to its historic links to 1798 and Wolfe Tone. Possibly turn it into a museum.

Medical services at St Bricin’s has been run down to the bare minimum now. All that's really left is whats needed for annual, overseas and recruit medicals, sick parades, physio, psychiatrist, overseas and recruit dental, and the pharmacy.
For anything else its a trip to the nearest A&E or into the HSE waiting list. Unless you're an officer, who gets private healthcare.
Most barracks also have the facilities for sick parades and annual medicals.

Are there any in-patient services offered?'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,

Originally posted by Flamingo View PostSo it is really an Occ Health service with a few extras like psychiatrists (who only need a few chairs and a sofa in an office), physio (useful to keep in-house) and pharmacy (which could be contracted out).
Are there any in-patient services offered?
Not to mention it isn’t staffed for it

I can't remember the last time I heard of a patient staying there, over a decade at least, unless you count all the 'homeless'.

It sounds like keeping a pharmacy capability in-house could be worthwhile. But again, although the army needs medical services, it sounds like St Bricans has served it's purpose and it's time to look at what is required by the army as a whole in 2020, not what was there in 1970. Same as the SAR really!'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,

My current pharmacy only gives me the "brand name" drugs, instead of the generic.
Big savings only made on certain generic, once patent has expired, anyone can make the same thing. Drugs where the R&D is well covered. I doubt DF patients would be in that league, thankfully.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.
