British Journal of General Practice. Inside: diabetes. August focus.

摘要

Clare Gerada, one of the vice-chairs of RCGP council, has come up with a powerful one-liner she uses on civil servants and planners: 'It's general practice that makes the NHS work, and it's GPs who make general practice work.' But, writes Daniel Furmedge, here in the UK we are not doing enough to enthuse undergraduate students about coming into the discipline (page 581). The prevailing attitudes that he reports are as depressing as ever - and don't sound as if they have been improved by the increased experience students get in general practice. For now we do seem to be able to fill the training posts, but the bigger worry is the entrenched views of the hospital doctors that seem to percolate through much of the NHS.
