Speaking at the AGM at The Europe, Irish Medical Organisation President Matthew Sadlier said the blockades will result in slower response times by the emergency services and missed healthcare appointments.
Mr Sadlier said there should always be room for peaceful protest, but not at the expense of patient welfare.
