The Sentinel GP network (sometimes referred to as disease surveillance network) has been running for over 20 years, reporting on a number of conditions with a particular emphasis on influenza, but now includes gastroenteritis, measles, chicken pox and acute respiratory illness.

This Irish College of GPs programme is in conjunction with the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) and the National Viral Reference Laboratory (NVRL), and has been led for many years by Dr Michael Joyce.

Below is a short video illustrated by an ICGP webinar acknowledging the work and commitment of all GP’s within the network during Covid.
