Doctor? Experience?
I would like to become a Doctor in the future. How do you get to observe in a GP practice and how old do you need to be? And what other experience can you get?

GP practices tend to take on medical students, so you would already have to be studying a degree. If you want experience before you start a degree it can be difficult to get. You would definitely need to be 16, but some places may even ask for 18 year olds. Most people would get experience somewhere like an old people's home, where you can make tea and chat to patients - and observe the staff there when they do things.
