CONFLICT CULTURE AND IDENTITY IN GP TRAINING - ...

This book explores the identity work and conflicted perspectives of general practitioner (GP)
trainees working in hospitals in the UK. Drawing on empirical and theoretical scholarship  and
privileging the analysis of social language-in-use  Johnston describes primary care medicine as
a separate paradigm with its own philosophy  identity and practice. Casting primary and
secondary care in historical conflict  the perceived lower status of primary care in the world
of medicine is explored. Significant identity challenges ensue for GP trainees positioned at
the coalface of conflict. Problematising structures of GP training and highlighting how complex
historical power dynamics play out in medical training  the author advocates for radical change
in how GPs are trained in order to manage the current primary care recruitment and retention
crisis.
