Abstract
Although the core function of general practice is patient care, there are many opportunities for GPs to get involved in other educational and academic activities. Most GPs find academic activities a useful adjunct to their clinical work. As well as being educational and broadening horizons, such activities stimulate GPs to think and reappraise their own clinical work and the work of their practice. This article aims to give an overview of the range of opportunities available within medical publishing and some tips on how to access those opportunities.
