- Page navigation anchor for RE: Boiling frogsRE: Boiling frogsAfter 27 years as a partner and 15 years as a trainer in general practice I retired last year at the age of 57. Prior to taking this step I reflected carefully on why I was making this decision. Articles in this months journal accurately summate my thoughts and reasons. If I had not jumped when I did, then I could well have been one of those boiled frogs.This week I have been helping locally with GP recruitment. The calibre of those wishing to become GP's has been very high. I have been very impressed by their performance. I would strongly advise them to consider the boiling frogs analogy. I hope employers, governments and the profession can come together to produce a future for these bright young things.Competing Interests: None declared.
