The authors describe the process well for readers who have no previous understanding of what's involved. In fact, there are very important lessons for U.S. physicians as we contemplate the future of the American system of medicine. This is an excellent book that lays out the history, the requirements, and the reality of general practice. I would highly recommend it for inclusion in school and public libraries to make it easily available for all.” (\u003ci\u003eDoody's Book Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e, November 2008)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors. \u003cp\u003eForeword.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: General practice: past, present and future (Roger Jones, King’s College London).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: A day in the life of a general practitioner (Richard Savage, Guys \u0026amp; St. Thomas Hospital VTS and Suzanne Savage, London Deanery).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Applying for medical school (John Rees, King’s College London).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Undergraduate training (Helen Graham, King’s College London).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Foundation training (Jan Welch, Guy’s Hospital, London).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Specialty training for general practice (Tim Swanwick, London Deanery).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Royal College of General Practitioners (Nav Chana, London Deanery).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Further training opportunities (Steve Mowle, London Deanery).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Flexible training and working (Anne Hastie, London Deanery).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Returner and retainer schemes (Anwar Khan, London Deanery and Rebecca Viney, London Deanery).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Principals, partnerships and salaried posts (Rebecca Viney, London Deanery and Catherine Jenson, Broomwood Road Surgery, Kent).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Portfolio working (Maria Elliott, King’s College London).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13: Academic general practice (Anne Stephenson, King’s College London; Neil Jackson, London Deanery; and Roger Jones, King’s College London).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Teaching in general practice (Amanda Platts, London Deanery; and Anne Stephenson, King’s College London).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15: Professional values (John Spicer, University of London).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 16: General practitioners with special interests (Roger Jones, King’s College London).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 17: Leadership and management (Julia Whiteman, London Deanery).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 18: Towards Retirement (Roger May, General Practitioner (retired)).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49407903695191,"sku":"9781405170703","price":36.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781405170703.jpg?v=1730500909","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/choosing-general-practice-9781405170703","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
