Join us for session one of our Established GP Webinar series, with four online sessions designed for Early Career and Established GPs looking to broaden their professional opportunities within modern general practice.

Each session will focus on a different topic, with knowledgeable speakers from each field, as follows:

Session 1: Portfolio Careers (non-clinical) - Leadership & Research
Session 2: Independent Practice - Dermatology and setting up your own business & Private GP work
Session 3: Portfolio Careers (clinical) - Women's Health & Lifestyle Medicine
Session 4: Finance & Pensions

A career in general practice can offer a wide range of opportunities beyond direct clinical work. This webinar, aimed at established GPs, will explore how leadership and research roles can be incorporated into a varied and rewarding portfolio career.

The session will be divided broadly equally between the two themes, with time available for questions and discussion.
