A national sleep study is being completed by a research team in Trinity College Dublin (Schools of Medicine and Psychology). There is no data on sleep patterns in primary school-aged children in Ireland, yet we know that sleep can have a detrimental impact on the mental and physical health of the child and family functioning.

The research team are currently recruiting a parental survey of children's sleep which includes a standardised sleep measure. A large response rate is essential to how the survey can inform service and policy development. The study has ethics approval from Trinity College Dublin.

Repeat Prescriptions

Please request your repeat prescription through our Patient Portal or the Chatbot on our Website https://www.malahidefamilypractice.com/prescriptions
We require a minimum of 3 working days notice to process a prescription request outside of a consultation. Please offer us as much notice as you can to ensure that you don’t run out of medication. A charge of €20 applies for all private prescriptions without a consultation. We endeavour to give priority to prescription requests for urgent antibiotics or hospital prescribed medications. Where necessary patients may be requested to attend their GP when medication or a condition needs to be reviewed. In such instances the prescription will be deferred until this consultation has taken place.
