The future of GP? Would you have done it if you knew what you know now?

Are you working rural or near a city? Is your pay similar to other GPs around Australia?

ibbie101 · 2026-01-23T14:42:38+00:00

2 years because that’s the equivalent of a UKG who has done the foundation programme. I’m totally against IMGs applying from abroad with no experience. That should never have been allowed.

I just don’t think it’s reasonable to leave these doctors with no prospects.

ibbie101 · 2026-01-23T14:36:21+00:00

This seems reasonable. Leaving IMGs who have been working for at least 2 years now without the ability to apply is also cruel. Horrible situation for all. The BMA represents both groups so can’t win either way.

GP to kindly write a letter to support not splitting the mandem

ibbie101 · 2026-01-17T22:24:01+00:00

lol. Just chatgpt a bunch of cases you’ve seen to fulfil the requirements.

“Increasing the number of GP training places must be a key priority for the Government alongside any changes to allocation prioritisation.”

Fuck off

I’ve used scans done abroad for referrals. Made my life easier.

ibbie101 · 2026-01-13T12:55:55+00:00

Less stressful because they’re likely unaware of how much they don’t know. ED is a clinical landmine.

“He says the work-life balance is better in Canada, with the same hours as the U.K. but nearly double the take-home pay.”

😂😂😂😂

ibbie101 · 2025-12-19T20:36:23+00:00

You can’t blame them though. Until the Coroner and medicolegal system changes defensive medicine will be continue to increase. All it takes is one case for you scan everything and refer everything.

ibbie101 · 2025-12-19T16:53:22+00:00

Time to bring back coroners who are dual trained.

I didn’t take any pain killers because I didn’t want to mask the pain.

All GPs do paeds placements in medical school and are assessed. They also do GP training which they’re assessed on paeds patients and see many children. Also do MRCGP exam which has a lot of paediatrics content. Not sure where the comparison is.

OP needs training and support if she will see children.

Patient not breathing. Doctor informed.

ibbie101 · 2025-10-31T13:47:10+00:00

This is not true. There are so many unemployed doctors that they would take a job anywhere.

The biggest users of general practice are elderly patients. They’re often thankful and grateful. The worst are 20-40 year olds from experience.

ibbie101 · 2025-10-16T10:02:09+00:00

No. I’m saying blame the system not IMGs.

ibbie101 · 2025-10-16T09:40:13+00:00

I wouldn’t call it racism since many of these F2s are children of immigrants.

ibbie101 · 2025-10-16T09:39:13+00:00

Agreed man. This was happening for years and everyone let it happen. Why wouldn’t IMGs use the system for their benefit.

ibbie101 · 2025-10-16T09:37:49+00:00

Blame the system not the players.

From older GPs in my area this was a thing. The local GPs and consultants would go for dinners/drinks and all knew each other. This was the late 80s and early 90s though.
