Abstract
As GP trainees our curriculum puts an emphasis on acquiring valuable skills in communication, and managing clinical complexities. Once we complete our training schemes, and venture into the complex world of general practice, we may face challenges that our training did not prepare us for. Traditionally, GP trainees would complete their training and aim to become partners in a GP practice, or alternatively, bid for open lists in order to set up their own practices. With the recent advent of salaried GP positions, some GPs are resisting partnership positions and opting for alternative positions within a general practice. Regardless of the position, it is inevitable that at some point the GP will recognise that general practice involves complex contracts with Primary Care Trusts (PCTs), which to some degree dictate how we can deliver our services to our local populations. With this article we hope to introduce you to some of these concepts.
