an authoritative and informative reference, in a highly readable format, that provides practical support for trainees and trainers...this book is also a resource for every one of us working in primary care - offering support for the everyday tasks that we all do. They challenge us not to do more, but to do what we already do differently...This book offers us someone to walk with at these most challenging of times. And that, ultimately, is its strength. - BJGP Life

Congratulations to Amar and Joanna on a fabulous Opus. I fear that too many programs and fellowships are making colleagues believe that leadership is easy. We bear the scars of the 'Hike'. Your insights and wisdom are vital. - Professor Simon Gregory, Deputy Medical Director for Primary and Integrated Care at Health Education England I have read the first chapter and it is really excellent. It reads very nicely and is engaging. Some really complex problems at the moment, so might skip to sections to help with those! Thanks again and congratulations on such a brilliant addition to the Primary Care literature. -Professor Dominic Patterson, Head of GP Education, Yorkshire & Humber, UK I bought my copy. I'll now treasure it, and certainly read it again at some later stage.It's extremely well written, and easily readable -not always the case in medical books. This readability makes the complicated ideas re team assessing and building accessible. -Dr Andy Hershon MBChB MRCGP an authoritative and informative reference, in a highly readable format, that provides practical support for trainees and trainers...this book is also a resource for every one of us working in primary care - offering support for the everyday tasks that we all do.
