What is a GP partner?

GP Partners are general practitioners who have an ownership stake in a GP practice, typically sharing responsibility for managing the business as well as delivering patient care. Unlike salaried GPs, GP Partners are involved in decision-making about the running of the practice, finances, staffing, and strategic planning. They usually share profits and risks associated with the practice, and often play a key leadership role within the team. Becoming a GP Partner can offer more autonomy and influence, but also comes with increased responsibility and administrative duties.
