The Irish Medical Organisation (Irish: Ceardchumann Dhochtúirí na hÉireann ) is a Professional association for Doctors in Ireland which also acts as a Trade Union representing doctors in negotiations with the Irish government.
The IMO was formed in January 1984 through the amalgamation of the Irish Medical Association and the Irish Medical Union. It is the sole negotiating body on behalf of all doctors in Ireland, recognised for negotiating purposes under the Trade Union Act 1941.

“As we speak of poetical beauty, so ought we to speak of mathematical beauty and medical beauty. But we do not do so; and that reason is that we know well what is the object of mathematics, and that it consists in proofs, and what is the object of medicine, and that it consists in healing. But we do not know in what grace consists, which is the object of poetry.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
