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.

With this article we hope to introduce you to some of these concepts.
