Benefits:
7 All agreed gp-uk membership is a way of keeping in touch with
the wider community, pooling ideas, rapid response to practice
queries etc. Several comments that more clinical discussion would be appreciated. Above all, major comment was that
gp-uk is fun and provides amusement - light entertainment at
the end of a hard day.
=============================================
QUESTION: How on earth did GPs communicate with the wider community before email? ......or didn't you?
=============================================
Once again, thanks to all who responded. Those who agreed to Pt.2 should have received the questions by now.
