Toil and Soul
Rupal Shah is a GP trainer in Battersea and an Associate Dean working in the London Professional Development Team. She is co-author of 'Fighting for the Soul of General Practice- the algorithm will see you now' , with its linked podcast series; and has written a series of peer reviewed medical education articles introducing the 'hermeneutic window', which forms the basis of her PhD thesis. She is co-editor of 'Finding Meaning in Healthcare - looking through the hermeneutic window' and the Finding Meaning in Healthcare podcast series. She is a member of the RCGP Ethics Committee, RCGP overdiagnosis group and part of the core team of the 'Human Values in Healthcare Forum'.
Within the prevailing culture of new public management and our drive for efficiency, clinicians are interchangeable, just as patients’ stories are standardised. My father-in-law once commented, ‘I feel like the GP is a machine that is processing me.’ And yet, after 20 years of practice, I still love what I do. In this talk, I will propose that we should be fighting to retain soul and meaning within our work. I will argue that we need to fundamentally change our approach to efficiency, particularly in the context of AI.
Dr Bob Clarke

For 18 years he led the London Deanery’s Postgraduate Certificate for Teachers in Primary Care and during this time he collaborated with the five London medical schools in providing an introductory course for new clinical teachers.

The Long Apprenticeship: What Being Human - and 47 Years as an Academic GP - Has Really Taught Me
Approaching the start of my retirement at the end of the 2026-27 academic year, you might find it interesting to hear about the transformational experiences that have shaped - and are shaping - my understanding of clinical practice and medical education.
I am a GP in South London and Clinical Professor of Medical Education at King's College London (Director of Community Education and Professionalism Lead for the GKT School of Medical Education).
