Book review - 'Simplicity is the Key' by Trevor Gay

'Simplicity is the Key' by Trevor Gay makes excellent reading. As we move deeper into the current economic crisis, and we also grapple with the hugely complex issues surrounding the ongoing shift from secondary to primary care this book offers a refreshing opportunity to step back, take a deep breath and think more simply. (book review by Rhian Last, GP Practice Manager).
Trevor and his wife Annie are running in this year's London Marathon and funds from the sale of the book will go towards their chosen charity 'Carers UK'. For further information why not visit the Simplicity is the Key Website.
