Workshop 3 Northern Ireland – A GP’s perspective – Dr George O’Neill George O’Neill will challenge the group as to what has been happening for the last ten years and why has it taken so long to get to the point where this almost time-expired GP arrives at the realization that this issue is an absolute imperative to be dealt with. The essence of his challenge is: “Is domestic abuse a medical problem?” Downloads Workshop Notes PRESENTER BIOGRAPHY George O’Neil Dr O’Neill qualified in 1971 and is a General Practitioner in Northern Ireland.
