- The lack of recognition of merit to the best tutorsresults in lower educationstandards

- The absence of common standards can cause a worsening of the teachingquality

- Trainees with their studyprojects as residentscould help increaseresearch in GP/FM

- With their work, traineescan help increaseresearch in the GeneralPractice

- The reduced financialincentives may result in a reduced interest about the General Practice

- The lack of a standardizedprevention can cause reduced control of the prevalence of disease

- Excessive bureaucracylimits the plans of action in General Practice

- Conditions with the purpose of maintaining the holistic approach in GP/FM can allow a better responsefrom the health services forthe patients’ needs and satisfaction

- The use of ICPC2 inelectronic data (SOAP) canbe an important supportingtool to manage and supportthe WONCA Europedefinition of GP/FM
