This textbook provides a distillate of the vast experience gained by a once-upon-a-time rural doctor whose career has embraced teaching from first to last, whose interest is ensuring that disease, whether minor or life-threatening, is recognised quickly, and whose concern is that strategies to match each contingency are well understood.

General Practice is the outcome of the vision of a schoolteacher of great talent who made a firm decision to become a country doctor; through this book his dream has become reality for all who are privileged to practise medicine in a community setting.

The first edition of this book, published in 1994, achieved remarkable success on both the national and international scene. The second edition built on this initial success and in an extraordinary way the book became known as the 'Bible of General Practice' in Australia. In addition to being widely used by practising doctors, it has become a popular and standard textbook in several medical schools and also in the teaching institutions for alternative health practitioners, such as chiropractic, naturopathy and osteopathy. In particular, medical undergraduates and graduates struggling to learn English have found the book relatively comprehensible. This third edition has been updated and expanded, and has retained the successful format of the first two editions but with a more attractive and user-friendly format.
