The Future General Practioner

The Future General Practitioner (1973) by John Horder – Sold by Crappy Old Books

Step into the corduroy-clad mind of 1970s medical idealism with The Future General Practitioner, a curious blend of visionary healthcare theory and stolid British understatement from Dr. John Horder and the Royal College of General Practitioners. Part blueprint, part time capsule, this book captures the hopes, fears, and tea-fuelled discussions of a profession trying to redefine itself in a changing world.

Packed with earnest diagrams, gentle sociology, and that unmistakable air of authoritative optimism, this is your ticket to the NHS’s thoughtful, tweedy past—when doctors still made house calls and "holistic care" meant remembering your patient’s name and dog.

Condition: Slightly faded spine, mild marginalia in what might be a GP’s handwriting—or a spider’s. A fine addition to any bookshelf longing for the smell of real medicine, real ink, and real polyester.

Crappy Old Books: For when you’re nostalgic for the future we never quite got.

I cellotaped up the spine, nothing serious, just the top of the printed layer was peeling and so I thought it best to preserve it with some professional cellotape treatment.
