Investigating the conditions in which women GPs thrive in General Practice: A realist review

The authors aim to identify the conditions that enable women general practitioners (GPs) to thrive in their profession, addressing the challenges they face such as burnout and career stagnation. Through a realist review of 72 documents, they outline sixteen configurations that describe supportive work environments, emphasizing the need for systemic changes rather than solely encouraging women to adapt. The findings offer evidence-based recommendations for improving organizational culture in general practices to better support women GPs.
