Laurence Dorman
I am the 4th generation of GPs in my family and growing up my Father’s practice joined onto his surgery. Watching him and witnessing his kindness made me want to become a GP.
Be inquisitive! As a locum I kept a book of “interesting patients” with their details (best done anonymously now) but it enabled me to look them up to see how their care developed and if some of my earlier decisions were accurate. Always look to improve on your networking! Previously, “networking” had a bad reputation but it is very important if you have particular interests you wish to pursue and want advice from other colleagues to help you with them.
