Patients with severe and persistent mental illness who attend community mental health clinics have high rates of engagement with general practice care.

The pandemic presented many challenges for general practice but also new opportunities for students to learn and contribute in practice.

Understanding the sophisticated craft and practical skills of generalist care could help both GPs and health policy makers value, respect and navigate the challenges of this complex important work.

Medical students report substantially less contact time with general practice registrars than with registrars in other, hospital-based specialties.
