The full text of the NASGPs’ “Yellow Book”, the definitive guide to living and working as a GP non-principal in the UK, has now gone on-line on the NASGPs website.

Editor of the Handbook, Dr Shaun O’Connell, said “So popular has the demand for membership of the NASGP been that we’ve practically exhausted our current supply of 2,000 copies initially paid for by the MDU. All our members have been receiving a free copy when they join, but we felt that, as so many of our members are on the internet, they can also use the on-line version, particularly as it is searchable. We’re now in the process of trying to find sponsorship for the second edition so that we can substantially revise the book for a second edition”.

NASGP Webmaster Dr Ed Penman said “With over 7,500 visitors over the last 12 months, the NASGP website has become the first port of call for many GPs either finishing their registrar year, retiring from a principal post or currently working as a non-principal. With so much demand, the logical step was to allow all 40,000 UK GPs free access to this 273-page book”.

The NASGP hope to be able to provide all our members with a free printed second edition as soon as we can secure sponsorship.
