Navigating the later stages of your GP career involves important decisions about retirement, financial planning, and potential new career pathways. We have compiled essential resources, expert insights, and video recordings to support you during this transition.

 

During early 2025, we hosted a series of 'Senior Career Webinars' aimed at GPs at this stage throughout Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Lincolnshire. All the sessions were hosted online, with a total of four webinars covering key aspects of later career transitions.
