This accessible text covers the entirety of General Practice and the General Practitioner, from student studies to retirement and from the beginning of the NHS to the present day. It provides a comprehensive historic overview representing both academic and frontline perspectives, describing what has, and has not been, adopted as the specialty has evolved. The details within each chapter represent the views of the average, front-line British GP and illustrate how the changes over the decades have impacted patient care and its delivery. The perspective often differs from that which prevails in many academic tomes on the subject. Topics covered, from the primary care team, changes to out-of-hours provision, the impact of IT, training and regulation to the future of General Practice, will be essential reading for all doctors considering a career in the specialty and will also be of interest to GP vocational training scheme course organisers and trainers, overseas medical educators and health care policy makers, social and medical historians and the general public.
