The New GP: Changing Roles and the Modern NHS - Softcover

"'One problem facing general practices in the vast array of papers in which NHS changes are proposed. This book is particularly good in three ways: it pulls the proposed changes together, it sets them in context, and the text is presented in a easy to read style. The authors are experienced in the NHS and have analysed numerous documents well. This text is a practical way for many colleagues in primary care to see the main proposals for change within the covers of single book'. Sir Denis Pereira Gray, in the Foreword"

This book explains how and why the Government's healthcare policies and modernisation programme have had, and will continue to have, a major impact on the lives of individual general medical practitioners. Eminent contributors examine critical features of the modernisation programme, including managing demand, the application of triage and clinical governance, and discuss what patients and doctors can expect in the future, and where the health service is going.
