GPBuddy is the first comprehensive online medical directory designed by doctors for Irish healthcare professionals. It serves as a valuable resource for GPs and other healthcare professionals, providing a quick and convenient way to find the medical professionals and services they need. Developed by practicing GPs, Dr.

Shane McKeogh and Dr. Darach O'Ciardha, GPBuddy has rapidly gained recognition since its launch in May 2010. With over 2,500 registered Irish GPs and a monthly user base of at least 1,500 GPs, it is widely regarded as the most powerful medical directory for everyday clinical practice in Ireland.

What sets GPBuddy apart is its comprehensive information on areas of Special Interest for the healthcare professionals listed on the site. This enables GPs to make more focused referrals on behalf of their patients. Additionally, GPBuddy offers monthly educational modules on current Hot Topics in General Practice and video tutorials from Consultant specialists, allowing GPs to stay up to date with the latest evidence on common General Practice presentations.

These educational modules are ICGP accredited for external CPD points. GPBuddy also provides a platform for advertising to GPs, supporting the site's operation and allowing GPs to access the services for free. The directory boasts over 700 registered consultants and more than 1,500 other healthcare professionals, including counsellors, physiotherapists, and speech therapists.

While GPBuddy strives to ensure accuracy, details such as addresses and phone numbers may change, and the site is updated promptly with any relevant changes. As a constantly improving platform, GPBuddy welcomes user feedback and suggestions for enhancements. To contact the team, users can email support@gpbuddy.
