Aberdeen Medical Students get a taste of GP role

A new project has been developed to allow first-year medical student in Scotland to watch GP consultation for the first time.
Previously, trainee doctors had to wait up to four years to experience the consultation room.
GP Live was developed by Aberdeen University and uses streaming software to enter the consultation room.
Researchers hope it will encourage more students to join general practice and help ease a recruitment crisis.
