Abstract

Increasing numbers of medical students and junior doctors learn and work in general practice. Increased supervisory responsibilities for general practitioners threaten the quality of care provided to patients and the income thus derived. Incremental changes to infrastructure and funding are welcome, but insufficient. Alternative models must be funded, trialled and evaluated. One such model, involving consultant on-call GP supervisors, is proposed.
