My top 10

1. The Doctor's Communication Handbook. Peter Tate

• this is a fabulous book that should be read by all doctors nnot just GP trainees.
• I frequently dip into it for inspiration

2. A Textbook of Family Medicine. Ian Mc Whinney

• A classic textbook of family practice

3. Notes for the MRCGP. Palmer

• Don't mention this book in the viva for the MRCGP, but I find it still a source of information
• A little out dated now......hopefully a new edition soon

4. A Guide for New Principals. Pringle, Hayden and Procter

• a newcomer but one that I found informative
• certainly useful for the trainee or newly vocationally trained GP

5. The Inner Consultation. Roger Neighbour

• I couln't leave it out.......could I?
• Read the first chapter as suggested...then dip into the remainder when you have time

6. Doctor's Dilemmas. Ben Essex

• This book makes you think.......great tutorial material.

7. Evidence-Based General Practice. Ridsdale

• Short.....to the point...clever little book which actually makes EBM interesting???

8. ABC of Dermatology. Buxton

• lots of pictures, easy to read, ........together with a good atlas and you should get by in General Practice.

9. The BNF

• No comment required!!

10. The Green Book

• immunisation at your finger tips.
