Recruitment into general practice has become a major issue. Changes in health care demands and its organisation have put greater pressure on primary care. Workforce needs for general practitioners are not being met. The Health Education England report, commissioned with Medical Schools Council UK, highlighted that, although several interventions were underway, little attention had been paid to the role of medical schools in promoting primary care as a career. Written to a large extent from the medical students’ perspective, the report highlights significant influences within the medical profession which act as powerful deterrents and sets out actions to try and resolve these. This webinar will discuss these issues and how we can move forward.
