Our locality group recently played host to an American Professor of
Primary Care who, as part of his stay, gave a talk on the differences
between primary care in the two cultures. He recognised the particular
expertise and different type of knowledge held within primary care as
opposed to consultant care. He felt that we should be recognised as
Consultants in Primary Care whereas Specialists should be renamed more
appropriately Partialists. I trust that this will echoed in future
correspondence as the Primary Care Led NHS develops.
