What is it about?
General practice has always been a gateway to pursue various clinical interests, and has provided clinicians with the flexibility to choose how they balance these interests with their duties as a GP. Other than a position as a partner, salaried or locum GP, the option of becoming a ‘portfolio’ GP has become more attractive in recent years, with various deaneries supporting this via ‘fellowship’ programmes. This article focuses on the various types of portfolio career, and how these career options can be pursued.

Perspectives
I hope this article will help answer many of the queries GPs have around portfolio careers and provide them with an insight into the life of a portfolio GP.
