Trish Greenhalgh is one of the international stars of general practice and a very clever thinker. This new book is a wonderful new resource for primary health care and general practice. Every general practice registrar should read this book and so should every general practice teacher and every primary care researcher." * Professor Michael Kidd, Head of the Department of General Practice, The University of Sydney and Immediate Past President of The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners "General practice in the U.K. is responsible for more patient care than ever before, and its input to medical training and research is at an all-time high. But its broadening roles and changing political context are at risk of causing an identity crisis. We are fortunate that Professor Trish Greenhalgh has brought her passion, intelligence and scholarship to bear on one of the key questions for health professionals today - what is the best of primary care about, and why is it essential for patients and doctors? She encourages debate while supporting and inspiring primary care, because she tells a modern story of a discipline whose purpose is valuable and which can rise to its new challenges. I am personally very glad to have read this timely and exciting book." * Amanda Howe MA MD MEd FRCGP ILT(M), Professor of Primary Care & MB/BS Course Director Institute of Health University of East Anglia Norwich NR4 7TJ Norfolk "This book meets a real need for a lively, engaging and perceptive book that brings together the population with the individual perspective and describes the key concepts that underpin contemporary primary care with admirable clarity. This book deserves tobecome a classic and will be welcomed by enquiring undergraduates and postgraduates alike who want a book that will both challenge and inform." * Professor Andy Haines, Director, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, London, UK "This important new book by one of primary care's most accomplished authors sets out clearly the academic basis for further developments in primary health care. Health systems will only function effectively if they recognise the importance of high quality primary care so I strongly recommend this book to students, teachers, researchers, practitioners and policy makers." * Professor Martin Marshall, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health
