Fixed positions in Trondheim are available – Medical students resign to become general practitioners – NRK Trøndelag – Local News, TV and Radio

According to a new survey, only a quarter of Trondheim's chief physicians believe that they can continue in this occupation if conditions do not improve.

The reason is too much of tasks and time, which leads to stress, frustration and illness. This concerns the drug students with whom NRK spoke.

"I've become a little skeptical, it's a lot of work, responsibilities and time," said Guro Søpstad Lunde.

She is a doctoral student and has practiced these last weeks. Despite the fact that she loves work, unhappy dissatisfaction has made her uncertain.

Concerned about family life

It's not attractive to start as a GP while so many people want to quit, says Lunde. As a grandson, she worries about how the permanent profession can go beyond family life.

"I hear about all those who have stayed and who work overtime and who will then go to the nursery before settling in and working again when the kids have settled down." which scares me, she explains.

Lunde emphasizes that she still wants to become a GP but does not rule out her direction.

Think about the economy

Ida Lyse, another student, also has her concerns.

"Being a regular doctor might be something for me, but I think it will be a challenge with the long days of work," Lyse said.

Lyse, who is also a grandson, does not know if she wants a job where living with a sick child can mean a loss of income.

In the survey, 87% of respondents said that such an absence posed a significant financial problem:

– having a real estate crisis

The Municipality of Trondheim has two vacant retirement homes that it is trying to fill.

This means that two permanent residents in Trondheim can not retire because there is simply no one to take over the patient list.

"It's very unfortunate that no one is taking over and that young people are nodding their heads to get into practice," said Hilde Myhre, head of Trondheim's court unit.

For several years, the municipality has struggled to recruit new owners, along with the fact that regulars have earned more and more jobs.

The majority of laypeople in Trondheim say they have planned to end their activities. And even if only a few general practitioners give up, that would mean thousands of patients without a general practitioner.

– At this moment, we have a real estate crisis. We try to find solutions, says Myhre.

The head of the unit is not surprised by the dismal figures of the investigation.

"No, I'm not really surprised when I know how much work pressure they have, how long they have and how many extra tasks they have," said Myhre.

KS, an organization that represents the interests of the municipal sector and employers, recognizes that the situation with the regulars is untenable. They point out that it is now difficult to recruit and retain landlords in towns and villages.

The pressure of time can go beyond the patients

Karen Julie Dybvad Evjemo is also a doctoral student, fearing that the pressure of time among the laity prevents patients from getting sufficient follow-up.

"It's going to be fast, you should take several patients a day.Many patients feel that they do not meet their needs because the doctor has little time.The doctor only has 20 minutes or a quarter and must sue the patient before you feel that it's done.

She clearly knows what to do if she plans to enter the profession.

"There must be fewer patients per general practitioner, and more regulated people have to pay for young doctors to get into the job," says Evjemo.
