GP less attractive for female medics?

[mids2019]

As the government continue to demand f2f appointments for patients when there is a n intolerable workload on GPs will this start to pressures omen out of the profession given unfortunately (and wrongly) childcare responsibilities fall disproportionately on them?

It Must be a challenge having to arrange childcare when there are increasing professional burdens being added in general practice and if remote surgeries reduced this burden surely that is a positive?

Surely most types of doctor will have difficulties arranging childcare? It’s not like a surgeon can dip out of an operation that’s run long because they have to pick the kids up from nursery

Actually GP is usually more favoured by female doctors. Once qualified you don't have to do weekend or evening work. It's also the norm to be part time and half days as one day is considered two sessions.

The majority of my female medic friends have gone on to be GPs due to ability to work part time and no weekends.

GPs are leaving full stop - male and female. The last 20 years or so it was seen as a better job for female medics but actually even part time they are often still putting in 50 plus hours a week - not very family friendly!
All this Government shaming of GPs is vile and manipulative, they are trying to fool the public. Telling the nation that the state of our NHS is down to lazy staff who just don’t want to look after patients.

GP role is attractive to those who want flexible workng, as it's one of the nes where part time is easier tomarrange.

The return of F2F is simply back to the status quo ante, not a new burden.

Especially as doctors are still in their surgeries and working - they don't often do consultation calls other than from their surgeries.

Unless of course you think that GPs haven't been working hard, just because consultations may be by telephone?
