Primary care is a rapidly growing academic branch of learning and developing its own body of research is the hallmark of a maturing academic discipline. This practical guide is the first designed specifically to support those planning, conducting and disseminating primary care educational research. While research informs clinical practice, organisation of primary care services and teaching the discipline, educational practices and modes of delivery are rapidly changing, particularly in response to new information technologies. Primary care practitioners must be engaged in life-long learning and keep abreast of developments in many arenas and educational research into how to address this has thus become of paramount importance.Key Features: The first ‘how-to’ guide to designing, conducting and disseminating primary care educational research Focus on inter-professional education, co-design and participatory research approaches, in line with current primary care models of care involving inter-disciplinary teams Wide in scope, exploring the current research environment in the contexts of undergraduate teaching, postgraduate training, continuing professional development, and patient education, for academics and educationalists at all levels Step-by-step introduction to the processes of literature review (establishing the existing knowledge base), choosing a topic, research questions and methodology, conducting research and disseminating results Supported by the WONCA Working Parties on Research and EducationThis book will encourage and upskill academics at universities and institutions teaching primary care in both undergraduate and postgraduate settings, providing support and guidance on how to conduct their own research and evaluate their own programmes, and will help to grow academic research in this discipline in high and, importantly, also low- and middle-income countries.

This book explores the current developments and future directions of primary care research, emphasising innovative approaches, methodologies and technologies that are shaping the field. The content examines the scope of primary care research in various contexts, including emerging trends in primary care research and recent innovations such as digitalisation, providing practical insights into the application of advanced research methods in primary care for both new and experienced researchers.

Structured to provide step-by-step guidance on various research techniques, addressing the economic evaluations of interventions and identifying areas for innovation in primary care research, readers will acquire a robust understanding of modern primary care research methods, enabling them to contribute significantly to the academic and practical aspects of the discipline.

Key Features:

Describes the current state of primary care research and makes projections of its future trajectory Delves into the unique and specific nature of primary care research, discussing its ontological, epistemological and methodological foundations Explores cutting-edge research theories and methods, including pragmatic trials, complexity research and the implementation of innovative study designs Highlights the importance of the incorporation of digital tools and artificial intelligence in primary care research, addressing both their practical applications and ethical considerations

As a comprehensive guide for researchers, practitioners and policymakers, highlighting emerging trends and providing practical insights into the application of advanced research methods in primary care, this book is particularly valuable for academics and researchers at universities and institutions around the world, empowering them to conduct impactful research and develop evidence-based practices. It will be an essential tool for those looking to enhance their research skills, foster interdisciplinary collaborations and contribute to the global advancement of primary care.
