*Totals based on frequency reports of areas worked—some overlap between participant's areas of work, for example, if a participant works in primary care and another specialisation and is currently involved in research, then a tally was put into both primary care current and other specialisation current research box.
† Percentages are calculated on the basis of the total number of participants reporting working in that area, that is, 5 participants are working in primary care and currently involved in research. Of the 17 reported to be working within primary care, these 5 make 29% of the 17.
