The third game-changing development nominated by the RCGP is the digitisation of patient data. Former chair Professor Dame Clare Gerada looks back – and forwards I have been a GP in the same south London practice since February 1991. When I started, a new GP contract had just been introduced. For the first time, GPs were paid according to activity in a few key areas, such as new patient health checks, childhood immunisations, vaccinations and cervical smears.

General practice is a far cry from its pre-2004 guise. As part of our final issue celebrations looking at the past, present and future, we consider the role of GPs, NHS, technology and viruses over the next 20 years – from likely to, er, less likely scenarios (though if robot penguins replace therapists, you read it here first) Indulging in future predictions is a mug’s game (but that isn’t stopping us).
