    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Immunisation Programmes
    • Medical Education

    Background:

    • The Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccination programme was launched in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
    • Understanding healthcare professionals' perspectives is crucial for programme success.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess General Practitioner (GP) trainees' attitudes towards the MMR programme.
    • To identify knowledge gaps and educational needs regarding immunisation among GP trainees.

    Main Methods:

    • A postal questionnaire was distributed to GP scheme trainees in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
    • The survey achieved an 81% response rate.

    Main Results:

    • Trainees expressed strong support for promoting MMR immunisation, with 27% advocating for compulsory vaccination.

  • A significant proportion of trainees (26%) felt their immunisation knowledge was insufficient, and 59% reported no formal immunisation education during training.
  • Practice experience was a key source of immunisation education for 95% of third-year trainees.
  • Awareness of the Department of Health's campaign objectives was low (46%) among trainees in the Republic of Ireland.

    • Conclusions:

    • GP trainees are generally positive about MMR immunisation but require enhanced formal education and curriculum development.
    • Addressing knowledge deficits and improving awareness of public health campaign goals are essential for effective immunisation delivery.
