Prioritisation dilemmas arise daily for GPs, and decision making about priorities is an increasing part of the GP workload; however, learning this skill is usually left to on-the-job training.

These themes could be used to teach prioritisation decision making to GP registrars or in the creation of continuing professional development resources for experienced GPs.
