Given that immunisation is largely provided in primary care, general practitioners in training (registrars) are important for aged immunisation delivery.

While Australian general practitioners gain most of their income from direct patient interactions, they also spend time attending to professional or practice responsibilities.

Predominantly hospital-based prevocational paediatric training offers limited exposure to – and, thus, confidence in – managing behavioural, mental health and developmental issues.

Medical students report substantially less contact time with general practice registrars than with registrars in other, hospital-based specialties.

A PBRN is a collaborative learning community of academics and primary care clinicians, formed to generate, disseminate and integrate new knowledge in order to improve patient outcomes.

This paper describes a step-by-step approach to ethics applications for research projects in primary care for new and inexperienced researchers and those new to primary care research.

Research-ready general practitioners and practices would make general practice an ideal environment to conduct research relevant to the patients GPs serve.

The authors provide guidance on the grant application process for clinicians with an interest in research.

This study examined the experiences of GPs when faced with paediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D) and to what degree GPs can diagnose and assist in the management of children with T1D.

Research, education and clinical practice form the cornerstone of the medical profession. Practising clinicians should appreciate the role of research and actively participate in knowledge generation.

Patient health literacy is a barrier to both management of familial hypercholesterolaemia and cascade testing.

A project piloting an embedded general practice pharmacist provided an opportunity to explore the influence of this role on medication management for a target ‘at-risk’ population.

This study aimed to understand how gout is currently managed in Australian primary care and to assess the level of interest in changing the delivery of care for gout.

This study examines the confidence of general practice registrars in managing paediatric consultations and whether confidence varies by prevocational training type.
