Get a GP

One of the pitfalls of being med students and then doctors is we think we don't need our own doctors - which just ain't so! It's so important that we all have our own GP, and unfortunately the statistics show a large portion of doctors don't have GPs! Check out AMSA's 'Get a GP' campaign here.
