Welcome to the Medical &
Dental Consultants Association
The MDCA is a representative organisation for consultant members of the medical and dental professions, who are in independent practice in Ireland.
Founded on the principles of collegiality, clinical excellence, professional independence and patient advocacy, we work together to support one another in the provision of the highest quality medical and dental care to our patients.
The MDCA recently commissioned Mazars to conduct research on the clinical indemnity environment in which our members operate and to advance proposals to address the issues we face. View Mazars Report
