As a GP, you will have the opportunity to have
a real impact on people’s lives and the chance to become directly
involved with patients and their families. On a more personal
level, General Practice will offer you the opportunity for
- A varied career
- Flexible working conditions
- Scope to develop specialist interests (PDF,
925KB)
- Involvement in teamwork with other professionals
- Opportunities to influence health at local and national
level
Further information about being a GP is
