Record numbers are signing up for GP training and in this episode Ben talks to Dipesh Gopal and Ebrahim Mulla, two GP trainees, about why they chose to become GPs. He asks them about their expectations versus the reality of the role, how (and if) they see the partnership model figuring in their careers and why they think so many GPs are leaving the profession. They consider what can be done to “solve the problems of general practice” and give a view on whether the future for general practice is a bright one
