Background:
Career support needs of general practitioners are poorly described in the literature.
Method:
Semi-structured interviews of 26 practising GPs from two United Kingdom counties.
Results:
General practitioners believed they would benefit from the provision of career advice and guidance provided by trained peers. They were looking for advisors to whom they could relate and who understood their professional and personal needs, in particular: listening skills, life experience, credibility, protected time, ability to challenge, give careful consideration, trustworthiness, knowledge about GP careers, facilitation skills, and empathy.
Discussion:
A strategy put in place in Australia might enable GPs to implement career plans.
