  Highly Commended in the 2005 BMA Medical Book Competition The first edition of The Inner Apprentice proved to be a landmark publication. Now in its second edition, it includes an additional chapter in which questions the assumptions about the relevance of awareness-based teaching in the overcrowded curriculum of contemporary vocational training - and suggests that the curiosity they engender is more important than ever. This book offers many new ideas, techniques and educational tools, and will be of interest to general practice trainers and trainees, and anyone involved in an individual teaching relationship.

  This sequel to The Inner Consultation explores the Icarus factor in vocational training - why some gratifying traineeships take off while others remain earthbound and unrewarding, and how trainers can encourage trainees towards their personal versions of excellence. The first part explores the principles of good teaching, proposing apprenticeship as an appropriate model, while the remainder of the book offers a resolution of vocational training's paradox, that the professional values most esteemed in young doctors are those least amenable to teaching based on a formal curriculum. The book offers many new ideas, techniques and educational tools. It should be of interest to general practice trainers and trainees alike, and also to anyone involved in vocational and professional education where the one-to-one relationship of teacher and learner is paramount.
