Good Practice - by Chloe Brathwaite (Paperback)

A stubborn patient and her cancerous 'beauty spot'...

With a delightful blend of gentle humour, empathy, and refreshing honesty, Chloe delves into the highs and lows of the human experience - from the magical moments of birth to the heart-breaking farewells of death, from the courage displayed in the face of chronic illness to the unsettling selfishness witnessed in times of suffering.

Review Quotes

'A terrifically written, touching, open and honest memoir, perfect for those who enjoy humour, exploring human experiences and differences, and aren't too squeamish.'

Ajda Vucicevic, Publishing Director, HarperCollins Publishers

'Chloe's story of the journey a physician associate student takes is accurate and entertaining. Outside of the PA profession, few clinicians truly understand the level of knowledge and skills required to successfully complete this incredibly intense course and become a qualified PA. Chloe shares her own personal struggles - both academic and emotional. She has demonstrated the continuity of care PAs can provide by being part of her practice team for many years. Well worth a read!'
