WHAT'S IN A STORY?
Lessons from reflections in General Practice
It is intended both for GP registrars:
- useful for the Clinical Skills Assessment of the MRCGP examination, and for the Workplace Based Assessment when writing reflections in the ePortfolio.
And for established GPs:
- the stories should inspire when reflecting for the appraisal portfolio.
GP teachers would find this book useful for educational sessions, including tutorials.
We believe that the book fills a vacuum in published books on General Practice,and we hope that it will become a medical classic in the years to come, serving generations of GPs.
'What would be handy would be the accumulated wisdom of our profession in tablet form: potent, evidence-based, conveniently packaged and easy to swallow. You need look no further than this book'
Roger Neighbour OBE, Past President RCGP
'This is a book like no other. It is packed with wisdom: each nugget derived from an anecdote. Perfect evening reading after an exhausting day at work. I wish it had been around when I was a GP registrar all those years ago'
Iona Heath CBE, Past President RCGP
'This book illustrates the power of reflection to help doctors grow and be better doctors for the benefit of patients'
Martin Wilkinson, Director Postgraduate GP Education, West Midlands, Chair English GP Deans
'This book works on many levels: as a compendium of experience and wisdom; as a two dimensional role model; as a source of reassurance; and as an historical record.'
John Howard, Head of Education and Quality for Primary and Community Care, Postgraduate GP Dean and Deputy Postgraduate Dean, Health Education England - East of England Office
'Stories bring actual practice to life. They help us deal with patients in a more holistic way, and help us to share our experiences in a way that would otherwise be impossible.'
One of the many favourable comments from a group of GP Registrars who assessed the book
THE DOCTOR AS THE PATIENT
This new book consists of themed doctors' accounts of their experiences when they became a patient. There is an introduction to each chapter with references as appropriate.
‘‘Only connect,’ wrote the novelist E M Forster. In these stories, poignant and personal, we see our colleagues impelled by illness to connect their potency as doctors and their vulnerability as patients, and finding in the connection a mutual enrichment of their professional and private
worlds from which we readers can take much-needed inspiration.’
Professor Roger Neighbour OBE, Past president RCGP
‘The doctors who have written this book have honestly and openly expressed the emotions that accompanied their transition from clinician to patient. We owe them a great vote of thanks.’
Sir David Haslam, Past Chair and President, RCGP Past President, BMA
‘This is a very important book. It should be read by everyone in the health professions, from the Minister of Health to all healthcare workers. But patients will also benefit from becoming more aware that their doctor is not an all-knowing miracle worker.’
Professor David Canter, Emeritus Professor of Psychology
at The University of Liverpool
‘I’ve often thought that we needed a book on how to be a patient as a doctor and how to treat doctors as patients. This book with its learning points and insights fills that vacuum.’
Dr Claire Davies, General Practitioner and life coach supporting doctors to prioritise themselves.
