In Canada, I am rediscovering what being a GP can mean

One in five Canadians has no GP that’s 20,000 in Vernon alone.

Per capita, Canada has approximately twice as many GPs as the UK .

The average number of patients per full-time equivalent GP in England now stands at a record high of 2,300 .

In Canada , family physicians stop taking on patients when they’ve got enough to look after.

A typical list is around 1,200 .
