Just a GP

Diaries from a Career in General Practice

This autobiography from Sir Denis Pereira Gray offers an insight into the life and career of an influential GP, from what led him to study medicine, learning his craft in the 1960s, through years of clinical practice and research to senior leadership roles within and outside the Royal College of General Practitioners.

‘With General Practice currently facing existential challenges, it is truly inspirational to be reminded what determined individuals, with a clear set of intensely human values, can achieve… This is the story of an extraordinary career during a profoundly important phase in the history of British medicine – someone who was justifiably proud to be “just a GP”.’

Sir David Haslam CBE FRCGP

Past President and Chairman of Council, Royal College of General Practitioners

Past President, British Medical Association

Past Chair, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)
