GPs are not Junior Doctors,however that contract was ill advised too although more accepted by GPs.

This contract has brought massive anger and disillusionment, if Doctors say the contract is dangerous,That should be cause for alarm.
It is not only Junior Doctors who are saying its dangerous as to quality care for Patients but Consultants and indeed Nursing staff are too.

Really the govt should step back with it and amend it considerably in consultation with the Doctors, both junior and at Consultant level.
