Will we have enough GPs in the future? Yes, if we make them competent and keep them happy!

The role of General Practitioner is a less popular choice of medical specialization throughout Europe. In a study recently published in BMC Family Practice, researchers explore and highlight the positive factors that support the satisfaction of active General Practitioners.
The low appeal of General Practice (GP) and primary care as a career option is a recurrent difficulty for healthcare systems throughout Europe. The European Commission projects that the shortage of health workers across the European Union will increase to more than 2 million by the year 2020 if nothing is done to improve measures for recruitment and retention of the workforce. Without this, 13.5% of Europe’s health needs will fail to be met. This shortage is particularly high in rural areas of European countries, most notably in France. Moreover, in several countries, 50% of  all general practitioners are over 50 years of age.
