Understanding Your Career Journey
Are you a GP who has changed roles, reduced sessions or diversified your working week? Have you left Coventry and Warwickshire, the NHS, or the role of a GP completely? If you have had a change of circumstances, we would like to have a conversation with you to understand why. We will not try to change your mind and all attendees will be reimbursed for their time.
There is a more significant movement of doctors in general practice than was previously the case. In collaboration with Coventry and Warwickshire Training Hub, the LMC are seeking to better understand the factors driving decisions in order to understand our workforce needs, help shape supportive programmes of work and inform discussions at local, regional and national level.
This work will take the form of semi-structured, informal interviews which will be performed virtually by LMC Officers or members. Arrangements will be flexible to individual requirements and there will be no need for any preparation. The interviews will be remunerated at £95 per hour, both for the initial 1 hour and the follow-up half hour.
- For GPs in Coventry and Warwickshire
- You will be reimbursed for your time
- Completely confidential
There is no intention to address the reasons why you may be moving/changing role or leaving the profession or any attempt to change your decision. However, we do need to know the reasons behind these difficult decisions if steps are to be identified to address the shortfall in GP numbers both regionally and nationally. At present that important data is missing.
Please click here to register your interest. Once you have registered your interest, Dr. Sarah Matthews (Secretary – Coventry LMC) or Dr. Tim Preece (Assistant Medical Secretary – Warwickshire LMC) will make contact within the next two weeks to arrange a mutually convenient time and place (including virtual) to have your conversation.
Please be assured that these discussions are completely confidential. All registration information will be held on a database within the Coventry and Warwickshire Training Hub, and the actual content of the discussions will be held securely by the LMC and anonymised.
