Summary

UK primary care research capacity is limited, with low funding and minimal academic status for many journals. Developing a sustainable research infrastructure is crucial for a primary care-led National Health Service (NHS).

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Primary Care Research
  • National Health Service (NHS) Evaluation

Background:

  • The UK's shift towards a primary care-led National Health Service (NHS) necessitates robust evaluative research.
  • This study informed the Department of Health Committee on Research and Development (R&D) in Primary Care (Mant Committee).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the current state of primary care research capacity in the UK.
  • To identify future research needs and priorities within UK primary care.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of funding data from various NHS bodies, the Department of Health (DoH), and charities.
  • A postal survey of academic departments and a review of primary care journals (1992-1996).
  • Interviews with key academic and professional leaders in primary care.

Main Results:

  • Primary care R&D accounted for 7% of total NHS and DoH spend, with variations by funding source.
  • Most primary care journals lack high academic status, and research is often small-scale, except in general practice.
  • Significant barriers hinder the expansion of primary care research capacity.

Conclusions:

  • Developing primary care research is vital for a primary care-led NHS.
  • Sustainable, long-term research infrastructure development is recommended over rapid expansion.
  • Addressing identified barriers is essential for meaningful growth in primary care research capacity.
