General Practitioners
General practitioners are not associate specialists. Due to similar training and pay, their autonomy in practice, and level of responsibility, they are often more comparable to consultants. Consultants and GPs both gain a CCT, a certificate of completion of training, after undergoing a recognised specialty training programme.

Famous quotes containing the word general:
“Private property is held sacred in all good governments, and particularly in our own. Yet shall the fear of invading it prevent a general from marching his army over a cornfield or burning a house which protects the enemy? A thousand other instances might be cited to show that laws must sometimes be silent when necessity speaks.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
