The Village

William Norman Pickles (1885–1969) was, for most of his life, a general practitioner in the village of Aysgarth, Wensleydale in the North of England, a relatively remote area in the early part of this century with many of the doctors' visits made on horseback or on an ancient motorcycle. The story of Pickles' life, how he became, among other honours, the first President of the Royal College of General Practitioners, is told in Pemberton's book Will Pickles of Wensleydale. It may seem curious that Pickles, a country GP, should rank with other great men in epidemiology: Jenner who worked on smallpox, Budd on typhoid fever, Snow on cholera, yet it was the remoteness of his practice combined with his own acute observation and accurate recording that enabled him to contribute so significantly to epidemiology.

Consultant Psychiatrist

There are many similarities in the experience and approach of general practitioners (GPs) and psychiatrists. GPs may spend some time in psychiatric posts before settling down as principals in their own practice, while some psychiatrists are members of both their own College and the Royal College of General Practitioners. Although there is great potential benefit for patients in this symbiotic relationship, GPs and psychiatrists work in different settings that require different techniques and time-scales. The professional work of both specialities has been profoundly affected by the National Health Service (NHS) reorganisation of the early 1990s. GPs have developed new relationships not only with psychiatric colleagues, but also with professionals of other disciplines such as psychologists, social workers and counsellors.

The joint Liaison Committee of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Royal College of General Practitioners has recently agreed to guidelines dealing with the experience that would be desirable for a general practitioner trainee occupying a post in psychiatry. The draft Guidelines have now been accepted by the Councils of both Colleges and are commended to all those concerned with the psychiatric education of vocational trainees in general practice.

Medical Politics

Fraser Rose was a general practitioner in Preston, Lancashire, England and a medical politician. He was one of two doctors who in 1951 took the initial steps and subsequently played a major role in the founding of the College of General Practitioners, later to become the Royal College of General Practitioners. This paper examines his life, his career in general practice and medical politics, and his unique contribution to the ‘Steering Committee’ that set up the College.
