- 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."

"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 to become 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
