Recensioner i media

'I found this a stimulating book in which the authors' commitment to the field of general practice clearly comes across. They engage with the issues through active critique rather than sitting on the sidelines providing a commentary. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in primary care who wants to know what the challenges really are. It would also be valuable for anyone working in health as the professional and organisation changes afoot in UK general practice have potentially far-reaching consequences for health care overall.' - Moira Kelly, Medical Sociology News
