Dr Neil Metcalfe: York GP, Medical Historian and Author.

Neil has edited a fascinating book presenting 100 biographies of GPs, the majority of whom have made key contributions to medicine, but also to engineering, literature, music, politics, sport and other fields. The book is divided into four different time periods and gives an insight into the background of these individuals and also informs about significant events in the history of general practice, medical education, medical politics, medical research, the Royal College of General Practitioners and society as a whole.
