John Murtagh’s General Practice is widely recognised as the gold standard reference and most influential publication for general practice and primary health care, both for doctors already established in practice and those starting out in their careers.

Now in its sixth edition, John Murtagh’s General Practice is the result of John Murtagh’s vast experience as a rural and urban general practitioner and a highly regarded educator.
