"I love my job, but it's time to go..."
Australia is facing a critical shortage of GPs. Female GPs are reducing their clinical GP work at higher rates than their male colleagues.
If we are to retain their expertise , we need to better understand what is driving their decision making
Professor Louise Stone leads this narrative study of wellbeing triggers for early retirement in female GPs - a collaborative project being run by the University of Adelaide under funding from the RACGP Foundation. Louise's team includes some heavy hitters too:
- A/Prof Megan Cahill - Australian National University (ANU)
- A/Prof Karen Price - Monash University
- A/Prof Michelle Barrett - ANU
- Dr Erin Walsh - ANU
This research team is interested in your decision to retire and the factors influencing your decision if you are:
A) a female, Australian GP who has retired or reduced your clinical load by >50% in the last 5 years, or
B) a female, Australian GP who is planning to retire or reduce your clinical load by >50% in the next 5 years
