flourish only when society was willing and able to pay the price of
providing resources, manpower and administrative machinery for
ensuring that the doctor had the education, the time and the tools
to do this job properly."

Sixteenth
James Mackenzie lecture by Dr G K Hodgkin entitled "Behaviour – the
community and the GP". "’We in our college have gradually
gained our confidence and medical recognition by first defining and
then preaching that general practice is an academic discipline in
its own right. But if the academic status of general practice is to
rise, it is necessary to develop an active area of research in a
field unique to general practice; to be fully effective this unique
field must have wide spread interest and application. It is my
thesis that the study of human behaviour provides the general
practitioner with just such a unique and interesting field of
research."
