Hello Dr. Erwin, thank you for the helpful video. Could you please make a video on the challenges of GP training? As well the the route to GP training? All help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Please dr Erwin Do you have any idea about how can i apply for training post in GP while i am outside the UK if i am fully GMC registred? Do you know someone who did it?
Hi Erwin thanks for your great videos and personality. I would like to apply for GP training .Can we do Locum while doing training? Is there any restrictions?
Hi Abdelwahab, thanks for your feedback. As a GP trainee you can work locum shifts in Hospital. You will need to check with the hospital if there are any restrictions and have indemnity cover to work locum.
If you're still up to the idea of making a video on the challenges of being a GP I think it would be very helpful. I've heard that the worst part is the paperwork/admin a GP has to deal with.From your experience,how bad is it?
Thanks for your question George Kappa. Admin and paperwork are certainly part and parcel of what GPs have to deal with. In every career there are things you have to do that may not be exciting. Paperwork and admin are manageable as long as you are organised and keep on top of the work. If someone catastrophizes something, the perception of the problem becomes bigger than it is in reality.
Thank you for the video Dr Erwin. I have some queries regarding GP training. 1) After GP training, how long does it take to secure a job as a GP? 2) Can I specialise in any particular field of medicine after GP training, for eg, if i want to pursue a career in dermatology or oncology or aerospace medicine, is it possible to do that?
Jobs for GP are available across the UK. It depends what jobs you want. GP OOH, locum or salaried jobs. Generally registrars in their final year can easily secure a salaried job in the practice they trained if there is a vacancy. It can take a few weeks to several months to secure a job. You can definitely pursue a career in any field you want after GP training.
Hello Dr erwin. Do we need to be working in Uk as SHO or like Fy2 to apply for GPST stage 1 as they are asking for right to work in uk. Or can we apply for Gpst stage 1 from overseas if we have foundation competencies signed from overseas. Also, they ask for driving license to apply for gpst stage 1. How important is driving license during gp training. Can we manage with public transport. How often do we drive during gp training. Would be thankful for your reply.
Hi Deepti, driving license is important because you will need to do home visits in GP. In that sense, public transport is not a convenient option. With regards to applying for GPST1 while abroad, I recommend emailing the recruitment team to clarify as I'm not sure.
Hi Dr Erwin, what is the recruitment process like? When are pre-entry exams written after FY2 or PLAB2?How can one prepare for these exams ? are there times of the year when hospitals recruit?
GP specialty training recruitment is a national process through GP National Recruitment Office. Application is made on Oriel. For more info go on gprecruitment.hee.nhs.uk/
Hi Erwin, i have a question. In the GMC website i can find about de ratios of Round 1. But i've heard that IMC doctors can only apply for Round 2, the remaining. There's no Round 2 for GP tranning? How can an IMC doctor become a GP? They can apply for Round 1 too? Thanks already
Hi Lucas Thomaz, Round 1 & 2 are opened to IMG doctors. I cover the GP application process in details in this video czcams.com/video/EbJxN8LPB9k/video.html
@@DrErwinKwun Great. Where are you based? I'll have a think about a collaborative video we could do and will get back to you on it! Looking forward to it. If we can't do an in-person collab I will figure out some ways we can do it virtually :)
Hi GWB7, preparation is key if you are serious about joining the medical profession. Study science, consider work experience at GP surgery, hospices or nursing home to get a feel of healthcare. I'm going to make a video on the steps to become a doctor.
Hello dr i heard the salaries in uk for doctors r very limited like for early years you r very much hand to mouth is that so?? N is thr any other way to earn thr as well for doctors??
Someone trained in London may be more familiar with the system and may have an advantage when applying for jobs locally. Generally, training in less competitive area than someone trained in London is unlikely going to discriminate you as GP training is standardised across the UK.
Thank you for taking time to watch this video. Hope it helped you make an informed decision. What is the reason you want to join GP?
How to migrate to canada once you are done with gp training in uk?
Please respond
Thankyou in advance

Great video, especially like the golden handshake reference, you are right that could be a downpayment for a house.
Thank you GP on the move, keep up creating great content.
Thanks a lot Dr Erwin
You are welcome

Paperwork and admin are manageable as long as you are organised and keep on top of the work. If someone catastrophizes something, the perception of the problem becomes bigger than it is in reality.
If you ask me, I'd say the admin work trains GPs for leadership positions, which also involve lots of paper work!

Well done Erwin. Nice video. We should collaborate sometime.
Thanks for your kind words, will be happy to collaborate with your channel James

Will there be any compromise in the salary and other benefits of a trainee who has opted the golden handshake scheme?
Salary is not compromised by the golden handshake scheme.
Hi dr I have just turned 15 years old and really want to become a gp , can you give me any advice?

What are the opportunities for the UK 🇬🇧 trained GPs outside the UK?
Many opportunities to work in countries such as Australia and Canada as a family doctor.
Hello dr i heard the salaries in uk for doctors r very limited like for early years you r very much hand to mouth is that so?? N is thr any other way to earn thr as well for doctors??
The basic salary for a newly qualified doctor in the UK is £27K. Doctors can earn more by working extra hours.
If one goes to the less competitive areas to train, would there be discrimination between you and someone who trained in London
Someone trained in London may be more familiar with the system and may have an advantage when applying for jobs locally. Generally, training in less competitive area than someone trained in London is unlikely going to discriminate you as GP training is standardised across the UK.
Thanks for your reply
What are the work hours like during training?
In GP rotation, working hours are generally from 9am-5pm + GP OOH 6hrs/month
Thank you
Yes please on the challenges video
Thanks for your suggestion, I cover the challenges of GP in this video czcams.com/video/5W95OtiAMU0/video.html
Hi..could you tell me how much does a GP earns during training...and also how much salary is good to take a good care of your family in UK?
The annual salary for a GP registrar is in the range of 45-55K which is sufficient for a family to live well in the UK.
