Oxford GP Society
A recently founded society, aimed at promoting general practice as a career for Oxford medical students.
We focus on inviting inspiring GPs to talk about their varied and rewarding careers in primary care, as well as GP trainees who can answer any questions on what it is like to train as a GP today. We also want to encourage Oxford medical students to take part in research in the world-renowned Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences.
Being a GP in primary care is a multidisciplinary specialty, accommodating a wide variety of interests, such as academic research, working abroad, business, technology, medical education or an area of particular clinical expertise.
It provides huge challenges and rewards, related to patient connections, intellectual reasoning and making a tangible difference to people’s lives.
We have many Oxford graduates who have trained as GPs and whose careers demonstrate the diverse choice available.

The Publicity Officer is responsible for getting the word out about events we are running and making sure information about events can easily be accessed via social media. They are also in frequent contact with other university GP societies, so we can make students aware of interesting online talks organised at other universities.

We tend to run multiple OSCE revision sessions during the year, covering medical presentations often seen by a GP and offer guidance to students on how to improve their communication and history taking skills.
