Teaching and Learning in Primary Care

"'Learning to deal with common problems, to deal with uncertainty, to work with a team of other clinicians, to undertake illness prevention and health promotion, and to understand and value the differences between generalism and specialism are essential for competent and satisfying practise. This book provides a companion to learning about all of these tasks, but importantly it also provides a guide to the rigour and complexity that primary care teachers must themselves learn to embrace if they are to be effective.' Dame Lesley Southgate, in the Foreword"
