The National Office for Traffic Medicine (RCPI/RSA) is delighted to host this research webinar for all those with an interest in research in this field, including medical professionals, students, trainees, researchers, psychologists, engineers, emergency services.
At the National Office for Traffic Medicine, everything we do is aimed at making driving as safe as possible for all road users.
Our goal is to help doctors and licensing authorities promote safe mobility in Ireland.
Our office was jointly established by RCPI and the Road Safety Authority of Ireland in 2011, bringing the specialty of Traffic Medicine to Ireland for the first time.
We are led by Professor Desmond O’Neill, Consultant Physician in Geriatric and Stroke Medicine, Tallaght Hospital Dublin and Professor of Medical Gerontology at Trinity College Dublin.
