【 摘 要 】

I am a GP. I am a researcher. I am a mother. I am a military wife. This translates into: I get professional satisfaction from both clinical and academic work; I wear a different hat on each day of my week; I move around the country with my family and start a new life at least every 2 years; I have the needs of others to consider above my own.Reflecting on the type of person who tends to end up as a GP, I do not think my situation is unique. I’d imagine that a fair few of my colleagues can relate to the fact that, most days, I feel like a walking, talking pie-chart, cut up into colour-coded segments. Some days those colours resemble a vibrant rainbow; other days they are varying shades of grey.AN OVERHEATED SYSTEM Hull et al recently undertook a study comparing two methods of measuring continuity of care in general practice. In their introduction, they suggest that longitudinal continuity ‘is frequently reported as one of the core factors that makes the work of a GP rewarding’.
