Doctors to launch recruitment drive to attract more GPs

The Royal College of General Practioners is warning that 10,000 new family doctors will be needed in the next five years, to meet the needs of an ageing and growing population.

In an effort to attract new recruits, and to combat what it says are "outdated stereotypes" of general practice, a new recruitment drive will promote a more positive image of GPs work in Britain.
