Life and work as a GP in Scotland; hear from Dr Rizwan Khalid

http://www.scotmt.scot.nhs.uk/ With the number of foundation level doctors applying to train in NHS Scotland increasing by 27% last year and the announcement of 100 additional General Practice training posts in Scotland, what is it about living and working in Scotland that’s attracting the next generation of doctors? Dr Rizwan Khalid is a GP in Largs, a town of 13,000 on Scotland's west coast: "I'm originally from West Yorkshire and my training was partly in Scotland and partly in Yorkshire. My wife and I have three young children and we found that Scotland offered a lot for them – a good education and a quality environment for the family. I'd also spoken to GP colleagues about the workload and quality of life in Scotland and they were highly positive." Regardless of the setting, Scotland has long had a tradition of medical excellence. The GMC trainee survey consistently ranks Scotland’s GP Training Programme amongst the UK’s very best. Professor Stewart Irvine, Medical Director for recruitment and training body NHS Education for Scotland said: "Scotland’s supportive and flexible training approach offers trainees exceptional scope for personal development with Out of Programme experiences and Post-training Fellowships. "We have dedicated GP Educational Supervisors across a breadth of different practices, offer specific exam support courses and have high exam success rates. And Scotland has something to suit all trainees in terms of geography and work-life balance, from the city to the country."
