| Description: | At present we have no way of knowing precisely how many
General Practitioners are in practice in this country,
how many are in training or how many intend to pursue a
career in general practice.
The body best positioned to collate this information
would be the Medical Council, as the legal requirement
for registration prior to engaging in the practice of
medicine I and annually thereafter, will ensure a high
degree of accuracy . Much of this information may be
available from the Council on computer in the near
future. While the total number of General Practitioners
in active, full - time practice may not be known
accurately, it is possible, by drawing from the records
of various bodies, to make an approximation to the
overall numbers. (Table 1). From these figures it
appears that the total number of doctors engaged in any
type of general practice, full or part- time, is close to
2,200. A considerable number of these will be part time,
or if full-time, under-employed. An approximate
breakdown of these 2,200 General Practitioners is given
in Table 2. A more accurate estimate of the numbers in
each sub- group outside the G.M.S. is urgently required ,
as these General Practitioners comprise almost one- third
of the total general practice workforce. The records of
the Medical Council, when fully computerised, may allow
the numbers in 'each group to be accurately estimated,
but only if full declaration of the nature of the
practice is a requirement for remaining on the register. |
