[Commlist] New book Fighting for the Soul of General Practice: The Algorithm Will See You Now

Intellect is pleased to share that /Fighting for the Soul of General 
Practice: The Algorithm Will See You Now 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/fighting-for-the-soul-of-general-practice>/, 
by Rupal Shah and Jens Foell, is out in paperback.

/'This book is not about nostalgia, and we are not suggesting a return 
to a ‘better’ time. It is not that as practising GPs, Jens and I object 
to being embedded within and accountable to the systems we are part of. 
But we do want to consider how, and with what, the gap left by the 
archetypal GP has been filled.'/

In /Fighting for the Soul of General Practice/, Rupal Shah and Jens 
Foell, two practising GPs describe the reality of working within a 
failing and highly bureaucratic system. Drawing on years of experience 
treating a wide range of patients from all backgrounds, they show what 
is lost when regulation overrules relationships, standard practice 
eliminates discretion, and algorithms displace personal attention. While 
acknowledging that bureaucracy is inevitable and important, they argue 
for an approach to medicine that is about creating meaning for doctor 
and patient and that privileges connection, attention, and care within 
each encounter.
