DON'T be a GP if....

[@eileenroy5115]

Hey Ibreez, I love how you highlight that choosing a specialty should be intentional and a choice to be taken after some serious thought and consideration, it's something that I deeply resonated with. Anyway, thank you guys, for taking the time to put out this valuable content for all of us:)

[@RoadToUK]

It's our pleasure :)

[@Aswwlo]

Well, I think the title should be changed to a Family medicine attending/consultant, "GP" title doesn't really reflect what these Drs are doing.

[@abdulhadial-shatshat8411]

Thank you, Ibreez. Your videos are amazing 👏

Glad you like them!

Could you do a video talking about junior doctor strikes into details? Is it also worth moving to the UK as an IMG as most doctors in the UK are now moving to the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia?

[@MSM1612]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts , i have a question , if I may ask you a question , i am 50 year now and i have been working in the gulf for 22 years , in an out patient medical set up , is there a chance for me to come to UK like in a year time? And if there is a chance what's your advice shall i take the MRCP or the Int MRCGP exam ?

[@danio2322]

Hi! I’d really love some guidance. My husband is an EU qualified GP (with 4 years experience working as a GP). He is currently in the process of GMC registration. We have now seen he must also do an International Induction Program to get on the Perfomers/GP list. Do you know how long this takes approximately? I’d also like to know if this is only for NHS GPs or also applies to those wanting to work privately? All the information is very confusing and any help would be appreciated!

[@humairaemma3701]

thank you so much! it was much needed! everyone in the group was talking about how they leave mrcp/ mrcs pathway and joined gp training! i needed motivation to persue my obs gynae passion!!! pls tell me 1/2 line about it

You're welcome :) Why not hear it from a consultant: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpLZpmijaqqiqas

Could a GP, later in life apply for higher specialty training like cardiology or neurology?

[@ezinneerhirhieneeukaogo1439]

Some GPs have gone on to do Specialty training in Palliative or Occupational Medicine

[@RoadToUK]

Yes, you'd just need to meet the criteria to apply.

Can I keep working in a non training job as an img and not enter training and still have tier 2 visa finally leading to ilr?

[@RoadToUK]

Yes.

Hey Ibreez, What about choosing the GP route for a good work-life balance? Oh I think you sort of addressed that. Thank you

[@jen_81]

Hi Ibreez, been following you guys for a while & really love your content. I guess I've lost motivation to pursue any specialty after my internship ended. Do you recommend UK for someone who doesn't wanna specialize?

[@RoadToUK]

Most definitely! The UK is probably the only place where lack of specialization is not stigmatized. You can do as you wish in terms of continuing in a trust grade (non training) job or even locum work full time once you meet the criteria.

[@syedahmed1177]

I think only GP speciality has a work and life balance. Also only GP speciality has an approved common wealth mobility program means if you are a GP in England you can work in Canada, Australia or NewZealand without taking any further exams.

[@fatma3335]

What are easy specialities then😂

[@fatifleura2744]

I was gonna ask the same thing 😅

[@RoadToUK]

There's flexibility everywhere 🤷‍♀️

[@Keephopealive2013]

I dont think there is any. Psych seemed pretty decent, liked it..liked too many specialities and maybe that's why I ended up as a GP😊 Not everyone likes or has the personality for psych though

[@mathewprasad7332]

Doing GP - cause could do literally anything you want. Medical education, special interest secondary care clinics, not get bored - because your work is not pertaining to a single specialty. Love it

[@Scrubsandtales]

I am glad to be a GP. No regrets! People who come thinking it is an easy way out are the ones that often find it very challenging.

Wonderful to hear!!

[@mc-eo1wh]

Jack of all trades, master of none. Hate rhe fact that GPs don't have proper MRCP degrees and have very superficial knowledge of Medicine. And why is it necessary to do paeds and O&G when a trainee doesn't want to. There should be such flexibility of opting out of seeing such patients throughout training and after GP training

[@moonshah5506]
