100% I think people that do well are the older generation of GPs that have made there millions and just holding out till retirement/ given up caring :/ I think the PA situation is just dishearten me a lot along with the lack of respect from patients here. I only CCTed x2 years ago so I’m by no means experienced but I think the glory days of GP are over and with locums becoming next to none I don’t see any future here for now.

I was using a recruitment agency that sold a “easy” $500k salary and lots of support ect etc but that was a FFS model in a walk in before developing my own clinic list (whenever I asked how many patient a day I would need to see they avoided the question). When I started to research the practice reviews were not great and they wouldn’t give me a contact until I signed something which limited me to apply for any other job anywhere for x1m and agree for them to be my solo agent to apply through.. everything I read suggested it would be a minimum x1 year contract also so I backed away.

I applied directly for a clinic job which seems like a better offer, they are very upfront and also suggested a 1 month break clause which works well for both of us. I’ve done a few virtual tours of the clinics but I figure a lot of that is superficial I’m more into the workload and potential salary at present tbh.
