Hi, I’m a GP. You may know me from my hits “that’s right ‘just’ a GP” “you want me to fix this social issue as well?” and the all time great “No I can’t chase that test you requested”
Hi, I'm a trauma surgeon.

The UK General Medical Council have updated “Good Medical Practice” (the rules for doctors).
It includes (for the 1st time) research….
It formalises research as part of normal practice that all (good!) doctors should be part of 😃.
