Dear Editor
I am a salaried Gp, having been a partner in the past. My personal experience is in keeping with what the author has stated. Each role has specific challenges and there are factors which means negotiations need to be carried out to ensure a fair agreement and to avoid exploitation. There is definitely a reduction is number of FTE GP’s due to various factors such as, appraisals, tax changes, work load, press and public perceptions, all playing a part in the morale of the profession, it is at rock bottom. I am concerned about the future of general practice.
