GPs are there as that was their choice when they did the Training
- but when a lot of our GPs did that Training menopause wasn't on the subject matter …….. each Dr does their initial training and exams., then during GP Training they are attached to each Firm at a teaching hospital for 6 months on a rotation basis. So they do Orthopaedics, Obs and Gynae, Paediatrics, Medicine, A&E, in a GP Surgery - then they apply for jobs in that final 6 months.
It would be useful if GPs were to have input into such Forums as this early on but when young, 'our' time of Life is way ahead of what they believe they require. Drug Companies used to 'fund' evenings at Hospitals for Consultants, Registrars, SHO to attend ……. to flog their wares as it were.
It would be useful if GPs were to have ladies evenings so that we can discuss what we require in a more relaxed atmosphere!
