‘People were using this throwaway language when we were asked what we would like to specialise in, for example, people would say, “Oh, you just want to be a GP?” or "You'll be wasted as a GP". One of the video's creators, Dr David Simmonds - who is about to start his F1 training at Torbay Hospital - said: ‘We were three quarters of the way through our training at medical school - both of us had an interest in general practice quite early on - and we noticed the same thing. They warn that students must not be made to feel embarrassed about wanting to become GPs while at medical school - and hope the video will break the cycle of 'throwaway language' used in medical schools. The doctors behind the video told GPonline that general practice can be talked down at medical schools, with clinicians and trainers using ‘denigrating language’ when talking about the profession, or being dimissive of those who pursue careers in primary care. The ‘Just a GP’ campaign asks some of the UK’s top GPs, including former RCGP chair Professor Helen Stokes-Lampard, to discuss their experiences of working in general practice - busting common myths about the profession.
