What’s the best thing about being a GP?

“Having daily contact with so many fantastic people. I spend most of my week communicating with patients, relatives, carers, other healthcare professionals and good people in social care and education – working with our wonderful practice team to help to solve their problems with them. Every day feels like a privilege and the satisfaction is immense.”
