The Successful GP Companion: Preparing, Practising and Perfecting

The transition from hospital medicine to primary health care presents many challenges for the GP Registrar and can be a daunting experience. The Successful GP Registrar's Companion will be your indispensable guide during that transition. It is written by authors with many years of experience in practising, teaching and examining general practice, who have used their understanding of the tasks facing today's GP in training to equip you with the tools you need to make your registrar year a success.

• Preparing: with its user-friendly format and numerous examiner's points, written with the insider knowledge of recent MRCGP convenor Roger Neighbour, this book provides invaluable advice and information to help you prepare for the challenges of the Registrar year and for both summative assessment and the MRCGP examination.
  
• Practising: sections on clinical care in practice and communication and consultation in practice draw on the authors' knowledge of essential core GP skills. Sections on quality in practice, and ethics and law in practice give an overview of the latest thinking in areas increasingly relevant to the modern GP. The section on general practice in the changing National Health Service places GP training and practice in context within the overall health care structure.
  
• Perfecting: all GP registrars, trainers and course organisers will benefit from this book's thoroughly modern and practical approach to the training year. With its up-to-date information and reflection on current thinking it will also be of great value to established GPs wishing to advance their knowledge and skills in the evolving climate of primary care today.
