This book focuses on a formative period in the development of
modern general practice. The foundations of present-day health care
in Britain were created in the century before the National Health
Service of 1948, when medicine was transformed in its structure,
professional status, economic organization, and therapeutic power.
In the first full-length study of general practice for these years,
Anne Digby deploys an impressive range of hitherto unused archival
material and oral testimony to probe the character of general
practitioners careers and practices, and to assess their
relationships with local communities, a wider society, and the
state. An evolutionary approach is adopted to explain the origins
and nature of the many changes in medical practice, and the lives
of ordinary doctors. The study also explores the gendered nature of
medical practice as reflected in the experience of a golden band of
women GPs, and examines the hidden role of the doctors wife in the
practice.
