Successful research general practices are atypical, often non-urban, with experienced lead GPs. Future applicants need planning, while funding bodies must provide adequate resources for primary care research.

Area of Science:

  • Primary Care Research
  • General Practice Research
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • 14 research general practices were funded by autumn 1995.
  • These practices are NHS general medical practices supporting primary care research.
  • Lead General Practitioners (GPs) possess research experience, evidenced by publications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify characteristics of successful grant applicants.
  • To understand the impact of the grant process on practices.
  • To gather advice for future applicants and funding bodies.

Main Methods:

  • A confidential postal survey was conducted.
  • The survey targeted research general practices.

Main Results:

  • Successful practices are atypical: high research/teaching involvement, mostly non-urban.
  • Lead GPs are atypical: male, hold research degrees, possess MRCGP, and have publications/grants.
  • Recommendations for practices include planning, grant utilization, research time protection, team involvement, and support sourcing.

Conclusions:

  • Research general practices integrate clinical care, teaching, and research.
  • These practices should receive continuous funding across the UK.
  • Further evaluation is needed to confirm their utility for the discipline and patient care within the National Health Service (NHS).
