10 Golden Rules for General Practice – and the real world!

For all busy and caring people

I should remember that at ALL times, especially in the face of criticism, difficulties and

anxieties, that I AM DOING THE BEST I

CAN

I should give myself the same care and

attention and consideration that I

give to others

I shouldn’t always be doing it for them if they are capable

of doing it for themselves

Time spent feeling guilty could be

spent doing more enjoyable things

There is no such thing as the perfect

wife, husband, partner, parent or

child

Time spent relaxing is time well spent

I do not have to carry on doing something just because I have always done it

I do not have to say ‘yes’ to every request that is

made of me

I have needs of my own which may not be the same as my

family’s, my colleagues’ or my

friends’

I am not on-call to all of the people all

of the time

enjoying your time

as a general

practitioner
