背景资料
全科医学为爱尔兰的医疗保健做出了重要贡献。然而，人们对爱尔兰的全科医生队伍的了解还很薄弱。
AimsThe本研究的目的是估计全科医生（GP）和执业护士在爱尔兰.MethodsA各种数据来源被用来证实计数的全科医生和执业护士的数量。捕获-再捕获方法被用来估计隐藏的人口的GP没有确定的数据库included.ResultsThere是2,954全科医生在爱尔兰，相当于每10万人口64.4。全国有1 700名实习护士，相当于每100 000人中有37.1人。每100 000人中全科医生和实习护士的人数存在很大的区域差异。在某种程度上，赤字在一个学科可能会抵消盈余在other.ConclusionsIn没有一个集中的登记册，它是不可能的，以跟踪目前在爱尔兰工作的全科医生或执业护士的数量。尽管每年的全科诊所就诊人数是医院就诊人数的两倍。
AbstractBackground
General practice makes a critical contribution to healthcare in Ireland. However, there is a weak understanding of the general practice workforce in Ireland.
AimsThe aim of this study is to estimate the number of general practitioners (GPs) and practice nurses in Ireland.MethodsA variety of data sources was used to corroborate counts of general practitioners and practice nurses. Capture–recapture methods were used to estimate the hidden population of GPs not identified by the databases included.ResultsThere are 2,954 general practitioners in Ireland, equivalent to 64.4 per 100,000 population. There are 1,700 practice nurses nationally, equivalent to 37.1 per 100,000 persons. There is substantial regional variation in the number of general practitioners and practice nurses per 100,000. To some extent, deficits in one discipline may be counterbalanced by a surplus in the other.ConclusionsIn the absence of a centralised register, it is not possible to track the number of GPs or practice nurses working in Ireland at present. This is despite the fact that there are twice as many general practice visits per annum compared to hospital visits.
