This example is fictional and written for illustration. Replace every name, company, date and number with your own facts.

Name your patient mix, such as list size, age range or chronic disease focus, so readers can see the scope of your daily caseload.
Pair each clinical duty with a safety or quality result, for example fewer repeat attendances or better recall rates.
List minor procedures and special interests with approximate numbers only if you can verify them from your logbook.
Show leadership through specific governance work such as audits, significant event reviews or trainee supervision.
Mention registration, training scheme and indemnity status in a clear line so credentials are easy to confirm.

How long should a General Practitioner resume be?

Two pages is common for a GP with several years of experience. Keep clinical roles concise and place registration, training and audit work where they are easy to find. Publications can go in a short separate section.

Should I include special interests and procedures?

Yes, if they reflect real practice. Include areas like dermatology, women's health or minor surgery, with scope and supervision level stated honestly. Avoid listing procedures you have not performed recently.

How do I describe patient outcomes without breaching confidentiality?

Use aggregated, anonymised figures such as audit rates, clinic attendance or referral turnaround. Never include identifiable details or case descriptions that could point to an individual patient.
