    Frequently asked questions

    Rural and remote positions are typically based outside Ireland’s major cities, often in smaller towns or communities where healthcare services are limited. These roles may involve general practice, urgent care, primary care centre work or mixed clinical duties requiring adaptability.

    A rural generalist is a doctor trained to provide broad-scope medical care, often covering general practice, urgent care, minor injuries and sometimes additional skills such as women’s health or chronic disease management. These skills are highly valuable in smaller communities.

    We recruit for remote GP jobs, out-of-hours GP roles, urgent care positions, community hospital posts and multidisciplinary rural generalist jobs. Opportunities exist for both locum and permanent placements across varied levels of seniority.

    Some positions may require additional skills, such as experience in minor injuries, unscheduled care or women’s health, while others accept broadly experienced GPs or doctors seeking to build their rural generalist capabilities. Our team will guide you through the requirements for each role.
