Succession relates to what happens to a person’s property when they die. The rules are set out in the Succession Act 1965. The property and the things a person leaves when they die could range for example from a house to a car and is referred to as the ‘estate’ of the deceased.
We are a normal GP practice, looking after public and private patients.
We are 2 doctors, myself and Dr Sinead Beirne, and a nurse (my Mrs Caitriona O’Sullivan, who is practice nurse, midwife, breastfeeding support etc). We share 3 reception staff with the other GP practice.
We provide the full range of GP services, from cradle to grave, including maternity care, cervical screening, childhood and travel vaccination, contraception, health screening, ECG, lung function testing, chronic illness care, blood tests, repeat prescriptions and so on, but we also have some specialized services that are not commonly found in most practices:
- Minor surgery procedures, from ingrown toenails and cysts to moles and skin cancers, wart freezing etc. We take referrals from all over Dublin and carry out approx. 700 procedures annually
- We provide ultrasound scanning, including general abdominal scanning, assessment of prostate, aorta, gallstones, uterus, and pregnancy scanning.
- As a result, we have an extensive maternity practice, participate in shared antenatal care with the hospital, offer midwife care and provide comprehensive breastfeeding support for new parents.
- We combine ultrasound and surgical skills to find and remove contraceptive implants that get lost in people’s arms
- We have substantial expertise in diabetes care.
