She looks back on the profession before the NHS, Aneurin Bevans role in the creation of the service, how the job has changed in the intervening yearsparticularly since the pandemicand what the future of the profession might look like.
The book features personal accounts from general practitioners, including DrAman Amir and Dr. Neena Jha, alongside key insights from health writer Ellie Philpotts and commentator Roy Lilley. Together, those on the frontline try to answer the question: how did we get here? And what can be done to make things better for us all in the future?
