From the foreword by Julian Tudor Hart
“Trish Greenhalgh, in her frequent columns in the British
Medical Journal…more than any other medical journalist spoke
to her fellow GPs in the language of experience, but never without
linking this to our expanding knowledge from the whole of human
science.
When I compare the outlines of primary care so lucidly
presented in this wonderful book, obviously derived from rich
experience of real teaching and learning, with the grand guignol
theatre of London medical schools when I was a student 1947-52, the
advance is stunning.”

"Trish Greenhalgh is one of the international stars of
general practice and a very clever thinker. This new book is a
wonderful resource for primary health care and general practice.
Every general practice registrar should read this book and so
should every general practice teacher and primary care
researcher."
Professor Michael Kidd, Head of the Department of General
Practice, University of Sydney and Immediate Past President of The
Royal Australian College of General Practitioners
“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, UK
