ANNUAL REVIEW master Final3a - St Vincent's University Hospital

Education & Research
Pharmaceutical Representatives
The link for the pharmaceutical companies in St. Vincent’s University Hospital is the Postgraduate
Department. The companies sponsor the medical and surgical lunch and breakfast meetings and in turn the
representative meets the consultants and NCHDs to discuss their products. This link is important for both
doctors and medical representatives.
The Library
The Library and Information Service (LIS) facilitates the staff of the three hospitals in St. Vincent’s Healthcare
Group and all students, resident or on placement. The LIS supports the information needs of its users and
therefore the clinical practice, education and research activities of the Group.
The LIS collections comprise print and electronic resources including books, journals, reports, databases etc.
The electronic resources can be accessed through the SVUH IT network and intranet and are also available
remotely with an Athens account, which all staff may apply for. UCD’s electronic collections are available on
the 17 PCs in the Library. These are strictly for research or hospital business (e.g. patient care) only. We
offer basic and advanced training on all our electronic products, by appointment.
Other services include: lending service, document delivery, photocopying, scanning and printing (b/w and
colour).
Postgraduate Medical Training Booklet
This booklet is compiled and circulated bi-annually by the Postgraduate Department. It contains valuable
information re conferences / meetings / tutorials that occur in the hospital.

Co-ordinator of Postgraduate Education.
