I’m a retired GP and former President of the Royal College of General Practitioners. I have written extensively about general practice, the consultation, the psychology of the GP-patient relationship, vocational training for general practice, and medical education.

My books include: The Inner Consultation; The Inner Apprentice; The Inner Physician; I’m Too Hot Now; and Consulting in a Nutshell

I currently teach young GPs preparing for their final MRCGP exam, mainly on line. I am Visiting Professor of Medical Education at Brunel University Medical School.
