“…Previous studies on GPs’ turnover intention reported that low income [ 14 ], poor working conditions [ 15 ], low job satisfaction [ 16 , 17 ], high work-related stress, and frequent workplace violence [ 18 , 19 ] were associated with turnover [ 20 , 21 ]. These factors also might influence medical students to avoid the GP specialty, which might influence the supply of and demand for GPs [ 22 , 23 ].…”

Background General practitioners (GPs) are the foundation of any primary healthcare system. Their quality and quantity are directly associated with the effectiveness and quality of the health services of a nation. GPs’ shortage and turnover have become an important issue in developed and developing countries. An accurate estimate of turnover intention prevalence among GPs would have important health policy implications, but the overall prevalence is unknown. We aimed to summarize the global prevalence of turnover intention and associated factors among GPs. Methods We systematically reviewed the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases from their inception up to May 2020, as well as the reference lists of all included studies. We included observational studies that reported data on turnover intention or their prevalence rate among GPs could be calculated based on the information provided. The prevalence rate of the turnover intentions was estimated using a random-effects meta-analysis. The heterogeneity was evaluated using I2 statistic. Differences by study level characteristics were estimated via subgroup analysis and meta-regression. Results A total of 25 cross-sectional studies were included (a total of 27,285 participants). The prevalence of turnover intention was 0.47 (95% CI: 0.39–0.55). Those having a lower level of salary (OR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.13–1.63) and job satisfaction (OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.12–1.70) or having lower level of morale (OR = 2.68, 95% CI: 1.56–3.80) had a higher intention. In contrast, GPs with a lower level of professional title had a lower turnover intention (OR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.65–0.98). Conclusions In this systematic review, approximately half of the GPs had the intention to leave their current posts worldwide. The factors associated with turnover intention were higher professional title, lower income level, lower job satisfaction and lower morale.

“…For those who intend to return to UK general practice at some point, consideration needs to be given to a number of factors, set out elsewhere. 2 In this article we put forward some issues for consideration both at the personal and organisational level for those considering the process of 'retirement'. We aim to offer some experience to inform others' thinking, and also to set out issues that bodies such as the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) still need to address, in order to maximise workforce potential in the LCARM ('Later Career And Retired Members') community.…”

Screening doctors in training for dyslexia: the benefits of an inclusive screening approach

There is a lack of suitable screeners for dyslexia for doctors in training, as the typical adult screeners do not cater for the needs of capable medical graduates. The aim of this research is to create an inclusive screening and training process for doctors with undiagnosed dyslexia. This involved working with doctors to co-create a new dyslexia screener tool. We designed an innovative holistic dyslexia screening, assessment, and support system as part of a 3-year longitudinal study. Qualitative data was collected through the use of a dyslexia screener and case-study interviews with trainees in general practice and psychiatry. Interviews were thematically analyzed to explore dyslexic trainees’ experiences of an inclusive approach to dyslexia screening and assessment. Out of the 103 trainees that were screened, 10 were found to have dyslexia, one dyspraxia, and another ADHD trait. Dyslexia-specific coaching, exam, and workplace accommodations were beneficial in dispelling stigma about dyslexia as well as supporting examination success. International Medical Graduate (IMG) trainees were also supported in this process. The case study participants’ progression was tracked over 3 years, and all subsequently passed their examinations. We recommend that all trainees are given access to this inclusive, holistic, medical-focused dyslexia screening process. Specifically, this can enable newly diagnosed trainees to access support and exam accommodation. In particular, greater understanding of dyslexia helps dispel stigma and enable better support, which has a positive impact on trainee well-being as well as progression.
