When you say you are like a GP, does that mean you take one look at a job and refer them to a specialist?

By the way, just to correct something you said. If a GP is a "real doctor" he or she is one of only 18% (GMC annual report 2013) of medical doctors who are "real doctors." Without denigrating the profession, medical doctors hold the title as a honorary one. The only degree qualification necessary to register as a foundation doctor is a double bachelors, medicine and surgery. As in many trades, some go on to conduct research for which they can go for a MD (medical only) or PhD, like I and my youngest did in engineering physics.
