General practice doctors are the first healthcare professional a patient sees meaning they play an important role in getting them the treatment they need As a general practitioner (GP), you’ll provide continuing medical care for patients in the community. You’re usually a patient’s first point of contact, seeing them in the surgery, at their home or within other settings such as care homes. When diagnosing illness and recommending treatment, you’ll have to consider physical, emotional and social factors to provide a holistic approach. Part of your role will be to refer patients to hospital clinics or other healthcare professionals for further assessment or treatment. You may also run specialist clinics for patients with specific conditions, such as asthma. You’ll work as part of a wider team to discuss care options for patients and their families, helping patients to take responsibility for their own health. All GPs need to carry out admin work, but if you’re a partner in a practice you’ll be heavily involved in business functions, such as employing staff, managing contracts and working within strict budgets. Responsibilities As a GP, you’ll typically need to: If you become a GP partner, you will oversee the running of your own practice as a business and will need to: Salary Salaried GPs receive additional benefits such as sick pay, holiday and maternity pay. If you’re working as a partner GP you won’t receive these benefits and will be responsible for paying your own tax. Income data from NHS Health Careers – Pay for doctors and the British Medical Association. Figures are intended as a guide only. Working hours A working day lasts from around 8am until 6.30pm but this can vary. Some of this time will be in appointments with patients and some of it will be spent on admin and phone calls. You may be expected to work outside these hours as some surgeries open on a Saturday morning or late evenings. In these instances, it’s likely you’ll work on a rota system to cover the appointments. You might also be asked to work ‘out of hours’ (on-call) and during public holidays. There are many opportunities to work flexibly or part time. Career breaks are possible although you’ll need to keep up to date with any relevant developments in the field. Taking a career break for longer than two years will typically require some retraining. What to expect Qualifications To become a GP, you must complete: Medical degrees are available at undergraduate level and typically take five years to complete. If you’ve already got a degree in a subject other than medicine (a 2:1 or above in a science-related subject) you can apply for a four-year accelerated graduate entry medicine programme, also known as a graduate entry programme (GEP). The British Medical Association has further information about applying to medical school as a graduate. Entry into medicine is competitive, and your motivation and commitment are rigorously assessed. Most medical schools will expect you to take one of the following tests: The test you take will depend on the medical school you apply to so check with individual course providers for details. It’s important to take practice papers before you do the actual admissions test and relevant preparation materials are available at the above websites. Following your medical degree, you’ll need to complete a two-year foundation programme, which consists of: Across F1 and F2 you’ll complete six four-month placements across a combination of acute and community settings. GP specialty training (GPST) takes at least three years to complete. This includes 18-24 months as a speciality registrar in a range of hospital roles, such as geriatric medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology or paediatrics, followed by another 12-18 months as a GP speciality registrar in general practice. You will also need to pass the exams for membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) and will then be awarded the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT). This means you can gain entry to the GMC GP Register and start applying for jobs. For details of training in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales see: Skills You’ll need to have: Work experience Entry to medical school is competitive and work experience or a placement in a caring or health environment is expected to get a place. This is to show that you understand what working in medicine is like and that you appreciate the emotional and physical demands, as well as the skills required. Relevant work experience can be carried out in hospitals and GP practices, hospices and care homes or any other environment that involves caring for people. If possible, try to get experience that involves contact with patients and doctors or other healthcare professionals. Varied experience is particularly useful. Work shadowing or observing doctors can also be helpful to get an idea of what the work involves. Contact your local hospital to try and get some work or shadowing experience. For free mentoring resources and experiences designed to support aspiring healthcare professionals – including virtual work experience that is accepted by medical schools, see Medic Mentor. Find out more about the different kinds of work experience and internships that are available. Professional development As a GP, you’ll need to complete continuing professional development (CPD) and revalidation to remain on the General Medical Council (GMC) register. This is to show that your skills and knowledge are up to date and that you’re fit to practise. There are various CPD activities that you can carry out and the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) can help with this. They offer a variety of courses and events, eLearning, knowledge updates and publications. Find out more at RCGP Learning. It’s useful to develop a portfolio to keep track of your CPD activities and give examples of your work. As well as revalidation, the portfolio can be used for general professional development, appraisals and interviews. The NHS provide access to an e-portfolio for doctors, as well as advice on how to complete it. You can also become a member of the RCGP as an early career GP.
