Background:
The authors sought to describe the process of conducting a successful randomised controlled trial in a primary care setting and identify enabling factors and barriers.
Methods:
Descriptive report of methods used to conduct a randomised controlled trial investigating the effect of allowing sutures to be wet and uncovered in the first 48 hours following minor excisions.
Results:
The trial identified several enabling factors and barriers to conducting research in a primary care setting. The project described in this article was successful because a group of general practitioners sought to answer an interesting question which was relevant to their clinical practice and which had not been answered by current evidence.
Discussion:
The findings are likely to assist groups seeking to conduct practice based research in the primary care setting.
