- Title
The GP crisis: a tale of two peaks.
- Authors
Gopal, Dipesh P; Mulla, Ebrahim
- Abstract
It is difficult to comprehend that 40% of new GPs are no longer working substantively in NHS employment after 5 years.[1] Forty per cent? Our training pathway exacerbates this further, best selecting those able to delay gratification and soldier through assessments, with the draw of significant rewards and perceived future happiness once we achieve arbitrary landmarks, for example, on completion of medical school exams or completing Foundation training. Having successfully navigated a long training pathway it is frustrating to see a narrative of resilience: a failure of personal toughness that has undoubtedly contributed to the current GP shortfall.
