Media Reviews
I personally think this is an excellent publication encouraging us to look at professional development, dispelling fears and effectively guiding the reader through the process...I would give it 9 out of 10. Glenn Richards, GP Trainers Course Book Reviews I like this book because it offers a simple solution to a future problem. I like it because it does not involve Balint, Pendleton or Neighbour. It has no mention of consultation analysis, the hidden agenda, the patient's ideas, concerns or expectations. I commend this book to you all. Michael Wright, GP Trainers Course Book Reviews I was struck by the relevance of this book at this time of rapid change in primary care. 'It looks as though someone's done all the donkey work for us, ' said our practice manager. Henry Tegner, Doctor magazine in May 2002 Primary health care teams can use this workbook as a 'hands-on' practical guide to meeting the requirements of continuing professional development, clinical governance and professional revalidation. This will provide a model to replace PGEA and fit in with the development of primary-care groups and the introduction of clinical governance. It is not an exhaustive list of what can be done, but it is a framework into which you can dovetail your own ideas. Dr Robin While and Margareth Attwood, the editors (extract from the Preface) It is important that our learning is implemented and integrated into our clinical care... This excellent publication gives practical advice on how these processed can occur. It contains all the tools we need to move into continuing professional development of individuals and practice teams. It is lucid and practical; informative and developmental. In these pages you will find a blueprint for your practice professional development plan and you personal development plan. It is a route map for CPD and life-long learning. You can't go wrong! Professor Mike Pringle, Chairman of Council, Royal College of General Practitioners, Professor of General Practice, Nottingham University (extract from the Foreword)
