I'm Too Hot Now by Roger Neighbour
Tomorrow's general practitioners will inhabit a world of ever greater sophistication and complexity. New skills will be demanded to manage the changing expectations of patients and governments. In an age of information overload, new patterns of creative, intelligent working will need to develop. This book provides a framework, illustrated by practical examples, for such a career path to develop and be supported. It examines a number of innovative schemes which highlight varied ways forward, both for training and personal enrichment. It addresses not only the need of today's young doctors, but also the question of how to equip all general practitioners for the challenges of the future.Roger Neighbour OBE MA MB BChir DSc FRCP FRCGP FRACGP
Roger qualified from King's College, Cambridge, and St Thomas' Hospital. After vocational training in Watford, he practised as a GP in Abbot's Langley, Hertfordshire, from 1974 to 2003. He was a trainer and programme director with the Watford Vocational Training Scheme for many years, an MRCGP examiner for 20 years, and the Royal College of General Practitioners' Chief Examiner from 1997 to 2002. In 2003 he was elected President of the RCGP for a three-year term. In 2011 he was awarded an OBE for services to medical education.
Having studied experimental psychology instead of biochemistry as an undergraduate, Roger found himself fascinated by the psychology of the consultation and the doctor-patient relationship in general practice. This interest led him to write his 'Inner' trilogy: The Inner Consultation (1987), The Inner Apprentice (1992) and The Inner Physician (2016). A collection of his medico-philosophical writings, I'm Too Hot Now, was published in 2005.
Now retired from clinical practice, Roger continues to write, teach and lecture in the UK and worldwide on consulting skills and medical education. He plays the violin to semi-professional standard, and enjoys spending time at his second home in Normandy.
