    AbstractThe Australian medical workforce is growing as we seek to meet the clinical demand of an ageing population. It is expected that younger general practitioners will gradually replace older retiring GPs. Using BEACH data (April 2009 to March 2012) we compared 439 GPs aged less than 40 years (younger GPs) and 697 GPs aged 60+ years (older GPs) to determine whether there were differences between the two groups - particularly in terms of prescribing (Table 1).
