My HONEST journey to GP I could tell you I’ve wanted to be a GP since I was a little girl but that would be a lie, so I won’t 🙈 In fact, I never dreamt about being any sort of doctor!! I was told by teachers that because I was a ‘good-all rounder’ and that I liked volunteering that I should apply for a Medicine & so I did … I am so grateful for all my experiences because they’ve made me who I am today … but gosh a lot of it was tough! From the sleepless nights of Medschool revision to the sleepless nights of a Night shift work! I don’t miss either ! 🌸 In Medschool / FY1 I loved Oncology but didn’t know if I could hack the demanding work rotas. 🌸 I found my FY2 GP job really stressful & unsupported so that left me confused 🌸 When I was in my FY2 year I was suffering with quite severe anxiety. Unfortunately, I wasn’t diagnosed until a few years later & at the time I remember crying in a meeting and being told I was ‘too empathetic’ to be a doctor … 🌸 I benefitted SO much from having time out of training. Although I felt lost at first, wondering if I would have to change career, it gave me much needed headspace so I could ask ‘what do I actually want ?!’ 🌸 when I re-visited specialising in GP I realised that this suited me really well. So much variety & continuity of care plus a big focus on work-life balance that isn’t as common in other specialities 🌸 despite my struggles with my mental health & some other disappointing supervisors, I haven’t looked back 💙 #gener#generalpractitionerg#gpr#generalpractice #rcgpa#MentalHealthAwarenessa#mentalhealthstigmae#anxietye#careeradvicee#careerdecisionse#careerchangee#anxietysupporth#endthestigmahestigmaofmentalhealth

General Practice: Pros & Cons✨ My name is Dr Stephanie Slater & I qualified as a GP last month ! The road to GP land wasn’t exactly smooth sailing, but now I’m here I’m very happy with my decision & can’t imagine doing any other speciality ! I know that I’m going to be able to do my job & take care of my well-being. There was a point when GP was the bottom of my list but having 2 years out of training gave me space & time to work it all out & I have zero regrets. I hope you don’t feel pressured into applying for training if you’re not ready ! I experienced this & I nearly made completely the wrong decision ! I got partway through applying for CMT before realising this wasn’t for me AT ALL This post isn’t about convincing you to do GP, it’s about trying to help you find what the right fit is for you ! Ofcourse, I would love you to join me in GP land !! Here’s a list of pros & cons for GP training that I’ve created ! I hope it’s useful 😊 Pros: 🌸 Variety is huge ! 🌸 Flexibility in the job 🌸 No nights/ on calls/ weekends (if you don’t want) 🌸 Continuity of care - this really enhances my job satisfaction 🌸 Due to training/ jobs being less competitive there aren’t often problems living where you want to live ! 🌸 Can do GPSI - work as part GP, part something else 🌸 Control/ independence in patient management 🌸 Training is only 3 years & can be less intense that other specialities Cons: 🥀 Less research opportunities (but you can do it!) 🥀 Shorter appointment times 🥀 Less interventions (although can still do minor op/ ultrasound/ injections) 🥀 Can feel isolated (tends to be workplace dependent) 🥀 Lower salary if not working full time/ not a partner 🥀 Unfortunately GPs get a lot of hate from the media My hope is that we can all find careers that allow us to take care of our well-being whilst doing our job ! Remember, our health is the most important thing. Take care of you 💙 #gp #generalpractice #generalpractitioner #wellbeing #doctorwellbeing #doctormentalhealth #doctor #doctorcareer #juniordoctor #MentalHealthAwareness
