WINNER OF THE RNA's ROMANTIC COMEDY OF THE YEAR AWARD 2017!
‘A wonderful setting, characters you care about, a page-turning plot, laugh-out-loud funny. I loved it’ KATIE FFORDE
Out of Practice is based around a large country medical practice, which proves to be a hotbed of rivalry, resentment and romance - and that's just the doctors. Think James Herriot meets House.
Meet married mum of two and successful GP Holly Graham as she relocates her family to join the team at The Practice at Beckerford, hoping to find the peaceful life she craves, despite the chaos that comes with her two year old twins and the troublesome state of her marriage. It will certainly be a challenge to keep her private and professional lives separate in such a tight-knit community.
Her colleagues have their own issues to contend with. The gorgeous DrDan Carter is struggling with to focus on work and the last thing he needs is any more stress; having his ambitious ex-girlfriend Dr Julia Channing working alongside him isn't really helping. Thankfully, the rather delectable Dr Taffy Jones is on hand to distract Holly from the escalating situation at home.
Feisty octogenarian and resident celebrity, Elsie Townsend, is Holly's favourite patient and saving grace. Elsie's inspirational Life Lessons come at the perfect moment, as The Practice is suddenly under threat of imminent closure and Holly rediscovers her voice and her priorities just in time …
'Delightfully warm' Jo Thomas

Penny Parkes lives in the Cotswolds, and her firsthand knowledge of English village life is evident throughout her charming debut novel, which bursts with quirky, colourful characters. The story centres around Holly, a good-natured GP who moves her young family to Beckerford to join a country practice. Drama, humour and a little romance make Out of Practice a gentle and a thoroughly engaging read.
