Jonathan Griffiths It's true. Even within the trusted environment of those 4 walls in the GP surgery. Thank you for sharing your what you've found helpful through such a painful experience.

*“What’s in a name”* The term "Associates in training" used by RCGP is not an accurate representation of GP Registrars/Trainees. A survey has been emailed out to 17,000 AiTs to see what they think. What would you like to be called? #rcgp #rcgpait #rcgpreg
