Finally, would I recommend this book? Yes, wholeheartedly. I consider it would be of interest to many GPsand would be useful reading for those who are new to general practice, who recognise that the previous workings of the NHS and primary health care team are very relevant in today's era of continuing change. -- Education for Primary Care journal.
The book is marketed to those contemplating a career as GPs, trainees, and GP educators, as well as historians and policymakers. It is hard to satisfy all these groups, but with a blend or research, situated experience, and humour, the author may have cracked it. If you want an understanding of how we are where we are in NHS general practice, and where we might end up, read this book and maybe you may have more of a chance in influencing the outcome! -- BJGP Life.

This book is both a panoramic analysis of how the U.K. National Health Service (NHS) works and a manual to help future health professionals understand the service. In both cases, the book details what the NHS, how it works, what it contributes to U.K. society, and its advantages and limitations. - Alain Touwaide, Ronin Institute
