Professor Irvine to continue to ‘advocate strongly’

Professor Alan Irvine, Consultant Dermatologist at Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin, has been elected as President of the Irish Hospital Consultants Association (IHCA).

The change in leadership at the IHCA comes at a time where around 500 permanent consultant posts are currently either vacant or filled on a temporary basis in our acute public hospitals, and almost one million people in Ireland find themselves on some form of waiting list for treatment or to see a hospital consultant.
