This fourth edition of Common Diseases comes just over 10 years
after the first. There has been change and counterchange in the
primary health care (PHC) field. One change has been the tendency
to replace 'general practice' by 'PHC'. Vocational training has
become compulsory. With larger group practices have come formalized
teams and teamwork, increasing con cern with the business side of
general practice and attempts to achieve best values for money and
maximal profits. On the clinical side there have been enthusiasms
for prevention, early diagnosis, anticipatory care, screening and
quality initiatives. As a counterchange it is necessary to remind
ourselves that the real essence of general practice, PHC, or
whatever title we give it, is 'personal doctoring' of people as
individuals in family units. All the changes mentioned will achieve
less than expected without good continuing doctor/ patient personal
care. But even this is not enough. Good general practice demands a
sound knowledge of the nature of disease in the community. Not only
are traditional diagnostic and therapeutic skills necessary, but
also application of an understanding of the frequency and
distribution of the diseases and an awareness of their likely
natural history - their course and outcome."
