The Good GP Training Guide is a travel guide-style book for trainees in general practice. Written by over a hundred contributors assembled from five continents, it includes contributions from leading writers in primary care. It is written in an accessible style with down-to-earth tips and anecdotes, sometimes irreverent, from real life. There is an emphasis on the reality of general practice. It also contains humorous or touching vignettes with accompanying linocut artwork from the Red Roses exhibition. The book's first section covers hospital placements. It is intended to show trainees how to get the most out of their training posts. Beginning with basic information on behaviour required in the hospital setting, there are chapters looking at cardiology, ophthalmology, rheumatology, etc. These chapters are split up into handy lists, covering the basics, tips on patients and PDP pointers. The second section covers GP rotations. It gives information on passing the various RCGP exams as well as realistic advice on other facets of general practice. The third section looks at finding a job and making the transition to an independent practitioner.
Options for broadening a doctor's career are looked here, with chapters on event medicine, academia, teaching, etc. There is information on how stay out of trouble and how to use social media safely and without running foul of the GMC. The book offers the ultimate guide to the training process. It covers the entire training experience and the practicalities of what comes after.
Matt Burkes, a former psychologist and bass player, went to medical school when he realised he would never be on Top of the Pops. He graduated from St George's Graduate Entry Programme in 2006 and moved to Chichester, West Sussex. His foundation and training jobs at St Richard's Hospital inspired him to create the 'Tips for Trainees' series, which continues to be published in the British Journal of General Practice. After a wonderful registrar year at Flansham Park Health Centre, he worked at Maywood Healthcare Centre in Bognor before landing up at Langley House Surgery in Chichester, where he works as a salaried GP. He is married with three children and is involved in a number of educational projects, both medical and non-medical. He enjoys the delicate art of hedgerow wine production and hopes to learn to sail. Alec Logan is a Glasgow graduate and a full-time GP in Wishaw, Lanarkshire, Scotland. He spent just enough time as a young doctor with the Royal Navy to open his mind. Then his deputy trainer showed him how to top and tail an onion. Such vision! At heart a frustrated journalist, Alec created Rocket as a West of Scotland Faculty newsletter, then hoolet for RCGP Scotland, then the Back Pages of the British Journal of General Practice, which he edited for almost 15 years. He sails when he can. Hebrides; enough said. Look to windward!
