General Practice offers a uniquely varied and rewarding career, but career satisfaction does not often happen by accident. Instead it evolves over time and requires active involvement, reflection, choice and flexibility.
This session will explore how GPs and GP registrars can sustain fulfilment and contentment throughout their careers. We will look at the common factors that influence career satisfaction, the wide range of career options available within and alongside General Practice, and how careers can be shaped to reflect individual values, strengths and preferences.
