Supplementing general practice training with a preventive medicine audit improved care. Both registrars and supervisors enhanced preventive activities, with registrars showing greater improvement in repeat audits.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Preventive Medicine
  • General Practice

Background:

  • Conventional teaching methods may not fully equip general practice registrars and supervisors with effective preventive medicine strategies.
  • Enhancing preventive care delivery in primary care settings is crucial for public health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate if a practice-based preventive audit, alongside conventional education, can enhance the impact of teaching preventive medicine.
  • To assess changes in preventive activities among general practice registrars and supervisors after an educational intervention and audit.

Main Methods:

  • A practice-based medical record audit of preventive activities was conducted by 30 general practice registrars and 27 supervisors.
  • Participants underwent an educational program on preventive medicine, followed by a repeat audit to measure changes.

  • Audit items were based on the RACGP's Guidelines for Preventive Activities in General Practice.

    • Main Results:

    • Both registrars and supervisors demonstrated increased preventive care levels across most measured parameters.
    • Registrars showed greater improvement than supervisors in the repeat audit (p < 0.02).
    • Significant variability existed in the recording of preventive data, ranging from rubella immunity (22%) to blood pressure (94%).

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating practice-based audits with conventional teaching significantly improves preventive medicine practices in general practice training.
    • The intervention positively impacted both registrars and supervisors, highlighting the audit's effectiveness in enhancing preventive care delivery.
