The second edition of Julian Tudor Hart's Political Economy of Health Care
will be published on September 1st 2010.
Sir Ian Gilmore, President of the Royal College of Physicians of London,writes:
"This is a remarkable book by a remarkable man. Anyone who professes to believe in patient-centred care (including our most recent two governments) need to read it to understand that to be patient-focused you must also be public- and population-focused, challenging markets and
tackling inequalities."
Graham Watt, Professor of General Practice at Glasgow University Medical School, writes:
“Julian Tudor Hart's example was not only to imagine but also to deliver integrated care for all his patients over 25 years, using epidemiology to measure what he did and to show what could be achieved. For health care systems round the world, facing problems of fragmentation, spiralling costs and increasing inequity, the gauntlet he threw down is to develop similarly integrated systems for the societies they serve.”
John Frey, Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, writes:
“Rather than writing from an abstract view of general practice, Hart brings a life time of experience among his patients to bear on the history and changes in the NHS. He raise cautions as well as provides a vision for the future. In the end, he sees general practice in the context of community as a testing ground for ideas that should reshape the NHS. Hart has been recognized around the world as one of the great scientists of community health. His ideas are born from his work in practice in the deprived where he practiced combined with his broad knowledge of the mistakes and confused policies of the past that have delayed getting proven care to the those who are most at risk in any community. This book brings Hart's distinctive, passionate voice to bear on his personal journey through his 60 years of the NHS and carries his tempered optimism that we can all do better.”/.../
