How has recruitment changed for GPs over the last couple of years
By way of recruiting for talent, it’s as challenging as ever. Often the number of vacancies considerably outweigh the number of GPs that are actively seeking new roles. For those recruiting it has meant that they need to be more savvy in how they target potential candidates. This has also coincided with the shift in the way that people digest news and information with increasing emphasis being put upon digital media.
