Great summary, I really enjoyed this video, I liked when you spoke about the 10mins gp consults, luckily some practices have gone to 15mins appts as per BMA guidance. Thanks!
A career in GP is not foe everyone. It is indeed a challenging career due to the enormous workload and constant pressure. You raise some good points. However, there are also benefits of GP. You see people from all walk of life. As they say, variety is the spice of life. You get to know your patients and their family over time. GP is more flexible than specialties like medicine, Obs & Gynae or Paeds s as you don't have to work nights and weekend.

Ma'am can a doctor SETTLE and practice in UK after doing MD/MS postgraduate training in India without going through postgraduate training again in UK by just giving frcs/mrcp/Mrcs etc? Thankyou
Hi, if you are already a specialist/consultant in another country, you can enter the specialist register here via the CESR route. bdiresourcing.com/news/2018/06/a-guide-to-cesr/130
Hi doctor.Huge thanks for all the information.There is something I would like to know.Can I do Mrcgp from my country and then come to UK? In such a case how do I go about after clearing Mrcgp directly?What are my chances to work as Gp in UK thereafter.Also for permanent residency.
@@lavnya70 doctor can you talk about the specialities where there is work life balance? I mean that you normally work 40-48 hours a week and from 9-5 like everyone else having more time for yourself.
After MBBS, internship and PLAB, apply for FY2 jobs in UK. After FY2 (1 year), apply for internal medicine training (IMT) (2-3 years). During IMT, take MRCP. After IMT and MRCP, apply for higher specialty training in your desired medical specialty eg cardiology, respiratory, acute medicine, neurology, gastroenterology, renal medicine, haematology etc (4-5 years). You can apply for higher specialty training in acute medicine or general medicine if none of the other specialties appeal to you.
Hi...I have done my MD Medicine from India..so after the mrcp three stages what additional exam or training I have to do to practice as an internal medicine specialist?
Hi, most doctors here after internal medicine training (IMT) (3 years) and MRCP, go on to pursue higher medical specialty training (4 years) in their desired field eg cardiology, dermatology, respiratory etc. You could opt for acute internal medicine (4 years) instead if you don't want to choose any specialty. After IMT (3 years), MRCP and higher medical specialty training (4 years)- you become a consultant. This is the porcess in the UK.
Mam after passing plab and getting gmc registration and doing fy2 we can get into GP training for 3 years directly ? And do we have to go through any other exam during this gp training of 3 years to become GP and one more thing mam can we get couple of months of maternity leave during GP training and resume to work when we are ready ????
Hi, yes, after FY2, you can apply for GP training. During GP training, you have to take the MRCGP exam. You can take maternity leave at any time and resume your training after that.
Yep I have done FY2 but unfortunately or fortunately I did clear MRCP as well.Now if I want to be a GP that means this MRCP is of no use because that is only needed if I want higher specialities?right?
@@vasusrimnbvcxz Hi, there should be a way to view the questions that you have already answered. I don't have my subscription anymore so I can't tell you the steps. Try contacting the pastest team. They should be able to help you.

Ma'am ,what is the pay of gp during their training and once they finish their training ,as they become consultant Gp ,what is there pay ,is it same as surgery or medicine consultant after their 8 years training?
Mam what is the degree you get after 3years of gp training..is der some exam after 3 years lik if it's medcne. U can do ur mrcp and start with your speciality training..is there something like that in gp training or family medicine?
As she said before, GP trainees normally take the exams to become members of the Royal College of General Practitioners (MRCGP). But it is not a university degree. There are also diploma exams you can take after six months hospital experience in things like obstetrics, paediatrics, geriatrics, family planning, (etc) and some keen types collect DCH, DRCOG, DGM (etc) during their training. These are at a lower level than the membership exams, but relevant to practice in the community, so they may help you get a more desirable job.
