This innovative and timely book draws on pioneering precedents,
basic principles, current examples and international experience to
capture the narratives, examples and ideas that underlie and
demonstrate the exceptional potential of general practice: "If
health care is not at is best where it is needed most, health
inequalities will widen." "The unworried unwell are not hard to
reach but they are easy to ignore and are often ignored." "With
patient contact, population coverage, continuity, coordination,
flexibility, long term relationships and trust, general practices
are the natural hubs of local health systems." "... practitioners
... are not only scientists but also responsible citizens and if
they did not raise their voice who else should?" Written for family
doctors looking to strengthen local collaboration, it brings
together the traditional strengths of consultations, caring,
continuity, coordination and coverage with the current and future
challenges of building capacity, community, creativity,
consistency, collegiality and campaigning. It highlights the
critical importance of working with patients, maximising the use of
serial encounters, integrating care, joint working between
practices, social prescribing, community development and advocacy
based on patient and practitioner experience. Drawing on the
highly-regarded work of Deep End GPs serving the poorest
communities in Scotland www.gla.ac.uk/deepend the book is an
invaluable handbook for all primary care doctors, irrespective of
health care system or country, seeking to provide unconditional
continuity of personalised care for all patients, whatever problem
or combination of problems a patient may have.
