If you're planning to work as a General Practitioner in the UK, this book is an absolute must-have. Having personally read it, I can confidently say that it provides an abundance of valuable information and advice on how to effectively manage patients in England. While it's not intended to serve as a primary study material, it's an excellent supplementary resource that focuses on offering recommendations for primary healthcare practice, primarily in terms of patient management.

I dislikeeeee it. It’s good for it’s job - a clinical handbook, a guideline. Not as a course-book !,,

I read this book a long time ago when I was still in medical school in 2005-2010 (so most likely its older version). Definitely a must-read textbook for medical students, junior physicians, or medical doctors.

Easy to read, broad coverage of a wide variety of topics. A number of useful tables in the text though (of course) risks becoming out of date very quickly.
