Exploring Opportunities for Non-Principal GPs: Embracing Flexibility in a Changing Landscape

As the GP population ages and workloads rise, non-principal GPs face unique challenges and opportunities. This discussion addresses the need for additional support in routine surgeries and the filling of long-term vacancies. In the old contract, GPs enjoyed a positive choice of varied practices with no ties to a single surgery, allowing for a desirable work-life balance. The new contract is evolving to offer stability of income and protected rights for salaried GPs, fostering portfolio careers and opportunities for specialization. With increasing demand for GPs, a brighter future awaits those willing to navigate these changes.
