Reviews

Reviews of 1st Edition:
"I personally think this is an excellent publication encouraging us to look at professional development, dispelling fears and effectively guiding the reader through the process...I would give it 9 out of 10."
Glenn Richards, GP Trainers Course Book Reviews "I like this book because it offers a simple solution to a future problem. I like it because it does not involve Balint, Pendleton or Neighbour. It has no mention of consultation analysis, the hidden agenda, the patient's ideas, concerns or expectations. I commend this book to you all."
Michael Wright, GP Trainers Course Book Reviews "I was struck by the relevance of this book at this time of rapid change in primary care. 'It looks as though someone's done all the donkey work for us,' said our practice manager."
Henry Tegner, Doctor magazine in May 2002
