There are 14 GP Specialist (Vocational) Training Programmes currently in operation in Ireland. Doctors who wish to pursue GP training in Ireland may apply for a general practice training post in one of the 14 GP Training Programmes. From 1 July 2010, the GP trainee intake increased from 120 to 157 training places per year. This will be maintained in 2013.
