I qualified in medicine from King’s College, Cambridge and St Thomas’ Hospital, London, and practised as a GP in Hertfordshire from 1974 to 2003. Having read experimental psychology instead of biochemistry as an undergraduate, I became interested in the psychology of the doctor-patient relationship and the process of the general practice consultation. My first book, The Inner Consultation (1987, 2nd edition 2004), described a ‘5 checkpoint’ roadmap to the consultation, and introduced the concepts of ‘safety-netting’ and ‘housekeeping’ to the vocabulary of general practice. The Inner Apprentice (1992, 2nd edition 2004) looks at the GP trainer-trainee relationship, and The Inner Physician (2016) explores how doctors’ own psychology contributes to their clinical effectiveness. My most recent book, Consulting in a Nutshell (2020) sets out a simple 3-part approach to the consultation, and is aimed primarily at GP trainees preparing for the MRCGP exam. I was an examiner for the MRCGP for 20 years, and Chief Examiner from 1997 to 2002. From 2003 to 2006 I was President of the RCGP. Now retired from clinical practice, I continue to lecture and teach widely in the UK and abroad, mainly on consultation skills and the doctor-patient relationship. I am currently Visiting Professor of Medical Education at Brunel Medical School, London. I believe that GPs’ best antidote to the stress and frustration of NHS practice is to find satisfaction in their consulting skills, and I hope that my books can help them to do this.
