GP with a Special Interest
A GP with additional training and experience in a specific
clinical area who takes referrals for the assessment /
treatment of patients (outside GMC / PMS) that may otherwise have
been referred directly to a secondary care consultant, or who
provides an enhanced service for particular conditions or patient
groups. GPwSIs are generally appointed to meet the needs of a
single PCT or group of PCTs, and typically undertake two sessions
per week in their specialty.
