Description
'A Celebration of General Practice is an exciting collection of essays on general practice at the beginning of a new Century. At a time of continuing debate on the nature and effectiveness of health care provision a group of distinguished authors present their views on the value and distinctive contribution of general practice. This is not just a snapshot in time. In tackling their particular theme each author seeks not only to place their work in a historical and contemporary context but looks to the future with confidence and a firm belief in the enduring value of the discipline. The essays are a pleasing mixture of scholarship and creative writing. I cannot recommend this book highly enough to you. It will stimulate enthuse and delight you.' Professor Dame Lesley Southgate in the Foreword
