Occupational Health Research in Ireland 2014–23: identifying the need for a supported approach

The results from this study highlight the need for research in OH to be directed towards areas which have been recently overlooked, and the need for greater collaboration between OH multidisciplinary team professionals in research. The creation of a research guide by the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, aligned to the faculty's pro-active advocacy OH strategy, could direct research towards overlooked areas. This will better inform healthcare policy and service delivery in OH in Ireland, conferring wider applicability in other countries.
