Foundation Year 2: changing attitudes towards general practice

[摘要] When I started in medical school I wanted to work in hospitals. Throughout medical school, among my peers and the staff in the hospitals, the general opinion (and I'll be honest I fell into this category) was that GPs were almost looked down upon. To become a GP was almost seen as a last resort, for those who were not clever enough, ambitious enough or hard working enough to become consultants. Either that or it was a role for women who wanted to work part-time so that they could have lots of children. It was not the job for the young enthusiastic medical student/junior doctor with high aspirations and ambitions.
