yes at the basic GP / MBBS / GDFM level you can practise referrology.
treat simple conditions and refer away everything.

but you should try your hand at managing all the complex chronic patients getting discharged from hospitals nowadays (they are still mostly in the public sector because they ain't gonna afford taking 10 chronic meds from GPs). it's not so simple anymore. and the number of patients who are like that are only going to keep increasing.

no need to be so ganzhiong about FPs going for higher qualifications.
beauty of FM / GP is you can choose what level you want to stay at.
you want to prac at MBBS / GDFM level by all means go ahead.
the higher qualifications are for those who want more. they also need to train younger FPs.
cannot be GDFM holders training GDFM trainees right?
What's wrong with GDFM holders training GDFM trainees?

In hospital you have MBBS holder MOs training MBBS holder housemen.

Also MBBS holder housemen training MBBS trainee medical students.

Nothing wrong.
