Background

About Walter Cullen

I am a general practitioner and Professor of Urban General Practice at UCD School of Medicine (2014-date) and previously, was Foundation Professor of General Practice at the University of Limerick Graduate Entry Medical School (2009-14). I want to encourage, initiate, conduct, publish and implement collaborative research that is relevant to clinical general practice / primary care and to increase our understanding of long-term conditions, mental health problems / substance use and other health problems, and to stimulate better care and prevention. I am particularly interested in helping GPs and other healthcare professionals in primary care who wish to conduct research or evaluate innovation in practice. I also teach / support / mentor medical students and postgraduate students and have a longstanding interest in supporting community based medical education especially in supporting medical school affiliated Primary Care Teaching Networks.
