This autobiography from Sir Denis Pereira Gray offers an insight into the life and career of an influential GP, from what led him to study medicine, learning his craft in the 1960s, through years of clinical practice and research to senior leadership roles within and outside the Royal College of General Practitioners.
?With General Practice currently facing existential challenges, it is truly inspirational to be reminded what determined individuals, with a clear set of intensely human values, can achieve ? This is the story of an extraordinary career during a profoundly important phase in the history of British medicine ? someone who was justifiably proud to be ?just a GP?.?
Sir David Haslam CBE FRCGP
Past President and Chairman of Council, Royal College of General Practitioners
Past President, British Medical Association
Past Chair, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)
This autobiography from Sir Denis Pereira Gray offers a unique insight into the life and career of a hugely distinguished and influential general practitioner, from what led him to study medicine, learning his craft in the 1960s, through years of clinical practice and research to senior leadership roles within and outside the Royal College of General Practitioners.
Through detailed diaries enlivened by wonderful anecdotes, both personal and professional, Sir Denis shares candidly with the reader a lifetime of experience gained and lessons learned, highly applicable today when general practice is facing many challenges and detractors.
Both informative and inspirational, Just a GP is an essential read for many who have journeyed through the profession with Sir Denis and those who are in the midst of or contemplating a career in general practice today.
