People h ave become over medicalised and although IT has helped to make health care safer\, it has reduced personal\, face-to-face contact\, creating potenti al barriers between people\, especially those more vulnerable\, and their health care teams. There’s been a reduction in continuity and relationsh ip-based care\, a change Dr Phil Whitaker (What is a Doctor? Canongate 20 24) refers to as “taxi rank medicine”.  \n\nCan we keep the positive developments\, restore relationship-based care and have happier patients and GPs? How can we as people/patients/activists help to create a more hop eful future? \n\nKaty Garder (co-author of A Radical Practice and a GP)  \n\nIn 1973\, while a medical student\, Katy Gardner met Toxteth GP Dr Cyr il Taylor and decided she would like to work with him in the future. She j oined him at the newly opened Princes Park Health Centre in 1978 and staye d for 28 years\, helping to make it a pioneering example of community-orie nted primary care. She later worked at Marybone Health Centre in Vauxhall and with the Liverpool Cancer Team as a Macmillan GP. Katy retired in 2018 \, having been active in community projects and public health\, especially in Liverpool 8\, all her working life. She co-wrote the book A Radical P ractice in Liverpool (Writing on the Wall\, 2021) about Princes Park Heal th Centre\, and now volunteers with the Friends of Princes Park and as co- chair of Central Liverpool Primary Care Network Patient Participation Grou p. \n\nA Radical Practice in Liverpool: the rise\, fall and rise of Princ es Park Health Centre\, explores these questions in this history of the L iverpool 8 practice\, founded by visionary practitioner and Labour council lor Dr Cyril Taylor. \n\nBuy A Radical Practice In Liverpool by Katy Gard ner &\; Susanna Graham Jones – Writing on the Wall \n\n \;\n\nIo na Heath (former president of Royal College of GPs)\n\nIona Heath worked a s an inner-city general practitioner in Kentish Town in London from 1975 to 2010 and she is a past President of the Royal College of General Practi tioners.
