Method:
Three focus groups and 21 interviews (18 supervisors, 17 registrars) were conducted, recorded and transcribed. The main themes were derived using thematic analysis.
Results:
Three main themes were reported: context influences registrars' exposure to older patients; opportunities for continuity of care need ongoing negotiation and communication; registrars are competent - trust and confidence follows.
Discussion:
Developing tailored models of shared patient care that suit different practices and supervisors will require ongoing negotiation and communication. This study confirms the need to enhance exposure for general practice registrars in ways that build on the competence of registrars and the trust in registrars by older patients and supervisors.
