For the aspiring or practising GP, the variety of career opportunities has never been greater. Although general practice is extremely demanding and requires a wide range of expertise, adopting the right approach to it can make it highly rewarding.
Succeeding as a GP will guide you through the complexities of training, assessment and self-regulation, advise you on coping with the vagaries of partnerships, management and finance, and help you to meet the challenges of medicine in general practice today.
