For all those young doctors who have successfully made a GP application and have completed their training there are numerous paths which they may then decide to take as a competent GP. After finding themselves in the position to be qualified for General Practice and going through the stages of national GP recruitment they could then make some choices regarding their career.

Firstly, they may elect to become a freelance GP - - this can give them lots of independence and allow them to work in several different practices as a locum. This really is particularly attractive to those physicians with young families who may wish to take some time off during school holidays without needing to obtain permission from anyone. Being truly a locum effectively means you are your own manager and can set you own rate -- Locums regularly earn more than their salaried contemporaries.

The downside to be a locum is that there is certainly a lot of uncertainty. You cannot be certain that there will be work with you tomorrow or in a few days. In certain areas there really are a high number of qualified GPs fighting within the same roles so there may not be the work designed for a locum doctor.

The other alternative once successfully which makes it through the GP program and recruitment process is always to be a salaried GP at a local practice. Sometimes you may need to travel a way to get an appropriate practice with vacancies but it is likely to be worth it to do have more job security and the benefits of holding down a part such as for example other contractual benefits and sick pay. Working as a GP within a practice may also give you the chance to become involved in continued professional development (CPD). Getting involved in weekly clinical meetings or audit cycles are yet another perk of working as a salaried GP as this choice only would not be ready to accept a locum.

It could be a hard choice to make but it is one that will usually be affected by the individual's situation, where they are based geographically and the current positions that are open to them.
