“…GPs and stakeholders of Family Medicine have acted accordingly. A substantial body of research and literature described elsewhere confirms the relevance and validity of Medicine, associating it with better health, better health care, and lower costs (2,(36)(37)(38)(39). Among the conclusions to be drawn from the history above is that, to understand General Practice, knowledge must be combined with a specific skill set and a particular attitude.…”

“…This definition does not explicitly emphasize the relationship between viable working principles and values. Furthermore, while the terms vision, mission, and values were implicit within the earlier frameworks, they were not explored directly (2). Meantime, many terms that were assumed to be shared prove instead to have widely diverging definitions within the different languages, each carrying distinctive cultural implications and evoking uniqueunshared-associations.…”

“…Late in 2020, the Nordic Colleges of General Practice/Family Medicine, referred to here as "Family Medicine, " published their Core Values and Principles (1,2). These are explicit statements of what we as General Practitioners (GPs) stand for and intend to act upon-the professional values as postulated by our colleges, and the individual, personal values and principles that are embedded within them.…”

Summary: Late in 2020, the Nordic Colleges of General Practice published a joint statement specifying what General Practitioners stand for and intend to act upon, our Core Values and Principles. In this article, the authors describe and analyze challenges and milestones encountered on our 50-year journey toward the creation of that document.The shaping of Family Medicine/General Practice as an academic discipline began in the 1960's. During an initial, descriptive phase, the new specialty was defined, its educational curricula formulated, and the core competencies required to earn the title, Specialist in Family Medicine, were identified. Focus was not yet placed directly on the relationship between viable working principles and values, however.Then, the 1978 WHO Alma Ata Declaration affirmed health to be a fundamental human right, with primary health care as the heart of sustainable health care systems, indirectly mandating that the field of Family Medicine deliver value-based health care. A major step in that process was taken in 2001: The Norwegian College of General Practice launched their statement identifying the seven theses, Sju teser, that characterize the principles, purposes—and core values—of General Practice. Later, the Nordic colleges worked together to formulate the 2020 joint statement.We are confident that Family Medicine will continue to provide sustainable, relationship-based care, and to protect the human side of medicine. Sharing core values and principles can help us mobilize as effective advocates for our discipline and for our patients, the citizens whom we serve.

“…Let us compare this lagoon to the coastline of the medical ocean. By seeing patients over time in their everyday practice rather than casual hospital encounters, GPs establish a unique personhood for the contextual interpretation and situated knowing of each patient [ 4 , 10 ]. The emergency doctor must take action immediately, while the GP – accustomed to a variety of symptoms and diseases – is trained to sort illness and disease with the aid of time [ 6 ].…”

General practice – a fertile lagoon in the ocean of medical knowledge

General practitioners (GPs) often find that linear, deductive knowledge does not provide a sufficient map for clinical management. But experience, accompanied by enduring familiarity with individual patients, may offer unique complementary skills to interpret a patient’s symptoms and navigate skilfully through diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and prevention. In this article, we draw attention to the nature of this tacit knowing that is executed by many GPs every day. We argue that the nonlinear, unpredictable complexity of this domain nurtures a particular logic of clinical knowing. This kind of knowledge is not intuition and can to some extent be intersubjectively accessible. We substantiate and discuss how and why general practice research can contribute to knowledge development by transforming reflection-in-action to reflection-on-action. We briefly present some concepts for reflection-on-action of clinical knowing in general practice. The VUCA model (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity) embraces dynamic and confusing situations in which agile work (adaptive, flexible and responsive behaviour and cognitive creativity) is assumed to be an appropriate response. Using such perspectives, we may sharpen our gaze and apply reflexivity and analytic elaboration to interpret unique incidents and experiences and appreciate the complexity of general practice. In this way, exploratory research can fertilize general practice and offer innovation to the entire domain of clinical knowledge.

“…As a direct result, GPs have many exceptional opportunities to influence the evolution of healthcare. The Nordic Colleges of General Practice/Family Medicine have recently endorsed and published their Core Values and Principles, where they explicitly state what GPs stand for and intend to act upon (2,3). One of the main messages is that leadership is part of the professionalism.…”

The Role of Anger in Motivating Leadership

As doctors, we see every working day the pervasive effects of different forms of structural violence and discrimination that undermine the hopes and aspirations of those on the losing side. This leads to powerlessness, fear and anger. Anger is not only forward facing but also directed toward, systems, institutions, governments—rather than individuals. At its best it is a protest against the status quo. We point out that leadership is one of the core values of our professionalism. In the light of what we see and hear, we have a responsibility to use the anger that this engenders within us to speak truth to power: this speaking is leadership. Our message is: feel the fear and the anger, use it to change the world, and enfold leadership in hope and the pursuit of justice.
